[Flightgear-devel] a4 panel
Can anyone ID the left two instruments in the top row and the left most in the bottom row? http://www.avsim.com/pages/0801/a4c/shot02.jpg Does anyone has a decent cockpit photo of or diagram for an a-4c ~ a-4f? Been looking online with little success. Thanks, Jim ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

The left one says something temp.. maybe an egt? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jim Wilson Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 9:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Flightgear-devel] a4 panel Can anyone ID the left two instruments in the top row and the left most in the bottom row? http://www.avsim.com/pages/0801/a4c/shot02.jpg Does anyone has a decent cockpit photo of or diagram for an a-4c ~ a-4f?

* [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Jim Wilson) [2002.06.18 21:30]: Can anyone ID the left two instruments in the top row and the left most in the bottom row? http://www.avsim.com/pages/0801/a4c/shot02.jpg I looked in a T-37 manual I have here, and found an instrument that is probably exactly like the top, leftmost instrument in that screenshot. It's the Exhaust Temperature gauge (you can barely make out EXH. TEMP in the screenshot). On the T-37 the text on the bottom of the gauge reads oC X 100 with the o being a degree symbol. I'm still unsure of the other two instruments you asked about. I'll keep digging. -- Cameron Moore [ Why is the word dictionary in the dictionary? ] ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

FWIW: EGT gauge and airspeed Lower left is gear indicator ( 3 green) Can't make out the rest of the symbols on the gauge; could be flap position Regards JW ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

To its right is airspeed in knots. The weird one at the bottom left is probably a gear indicator; it might plausibly be a stores indicator as well -- early model A-4's had only three pylons. There's something at the top of that gauge that could be a flap position indicator. This panel isn't quite right, though. The center attitude indicator isn't a flat card, but is in fact a rotating globe. There are some good shots from A-4M's here (the top level site is http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com): http://209.133.73.63/AWA/AWA_001-100/AWA_021-030/walk26_A-4M/part2/walk026B.htm I also don't see an AoA gauge (the indexers are there to the left of the front window, but there's also a rotary gauge), which is pretty important. There's also no engine tachometer, which is really critical. Note also the accelerometer just above the EGT gauge. I have backgrounds for some of these that I did a while back, but never integrated. Take a look at http://www.plausible.org/andy/gauges/all.png for the stuff that I have ready. These were all generated by a little perl (and postscript, and ImageMagick) code that I wrote to draw ticks and labels on backgrounds, with proper antialiasing and alpha. They look pretty good, but I lost interest before finishing the harrier cockpit. Bug me if you want to see the (very ugly) code. Andy -- Andrew J.
