Its available here: http://cockpit.varxec.de/fgfs/fgfs_717-200_71.blend.gz (just the blenderfile, gzipped) http://cockpit.varxec.de/fgfs/fgfs_717-200.tar.bz2 (fdm, engine config, and 3d model in .ac format) Note that I haven't touched the model since September... so the JSBSim configs will have to be converted to the new format. The directory layout may also have to be changed. I currently don't have a recent flightgear checkout (my computer needs updating in the hardware area as well to allow me to enjoy flightgear again), so I can't do much right now. Most of my free time is currently going into PHCC, my home cockpit interface project for flightgear: http://cockpit.varxec.de/PHCC.html (If you are more interested in this project, join the sim-hardware list: http://m18s17.vlinux.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sim-hardware ) Innis and Ampere, thanks for taking a look at my model...

I searched high and low and I have never found stuff like that... and it is so close too! I visit the Boeing's website practically everyday! With the DXF files, I can do some shape merging in 3D Studio and get a 100% accurate model! > When doing my B717, I used qcad to measure things from these drawings. > Like engine placement, pilot viewpoint and also got me started with > the 3D model (which isn't finished yet, so if someone wants to finish > the 3D model... raise your hand :-) > The jsbsim aero file should be quite flyable. > > so... any takers for the 3D model ?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] MD-11 cockpit
Hi Manuel Manuel Bessler Writes When doing my B717, I used qcad to measure things from these drawings. Like engine placement, pilot viewpoint and also got me started with the 3D model (which isn't finished yet, so if someone wants to finish the 3D model... raise your hand :-) The jsbsim aero file should be quite flyable. so... any takers for the 3D model ? Its in Blender format. You can send it to me but I doubt I would get to it for a month or so till I am finished what I am currently working on. If you send it could you send it in AC3D(prefered) or DXF. Regards, Manuel Cheers Innis _ Personalise your phone with chart ringtones and polyphonics.

I mean layout, as in 2D overhead drawings of the cockpit, like schematics. I have seen all the photos on airliners.net, as well as those on jetphotots.net. They give me an idea of what the cockpit of a MD-11 should look like, but they aren't helpful in modelling. Thanks anyway though. > Here's an (unfortunately fairly small) diagram of the captain's > panel: > > http://www.si-properties.com/sat98/images/news_16-10-98_cockpit.jpg > That's one of the things that I have been looking for since this morning. Thanks! =) Funny that when you don't need something (yet), they keep showing up. When you actually look them up, they don't seem to exist.

But since you included layout, and said you've had no luck, did you try a Google "Images" search?

[Flightgear-devel] MD-11 cockpit
I have been doing some hunting lately; namely, looking for information regarding the MD-11's flightdeck: dimensions, layout, technical diagrams, etc. I have tried many search keywords on the Internet, my local library, as well as my university's library. So far, I have no luck. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find the above information.
