This panels are routed and engraved out of plexiglass like the ones on the MIP. The "MPCD" - Multi Purpose Color Display - is the central display in the F-18 cockpit and is mainly used for navigation. F/A-18 ThrottleĪnd this is how I made the throttles. Here are some pictures of how I made my flight control stick. This made building the "MIP" more challenging than expected. So I decided to stick to the real thing and use separate monitors too. Initially, I was planning to take the easy path and use one single monitor in F-35 style to show all the cockpit displays and instruments, in order to have the sim ready to fly sooner.īut I knew that this would make me regret it every time I looked at it, since a flat cockpit is a gross contradiction to the beautiful geometry of the real F/A-18E cockpit (which has 5 offset screens and a standby instrument panel, all at different angles). Panels, switches and lightsįind some info here on how I made the various cockpit panels and where to source switches, pushbuttons and lights. Knowledge of theory of flight, air navigation, meteorology, flying directives, aircraft operating procedures. The simpit is a wooden construction as closely as possible to the dimensions of the real F/A-18E cockpit.

Here's how I made stuff for my 'main' simulator, the F-18E Super Hornet: Simpit structure Volume 4 : Flight Control System ( FCS ) and guidance concepts ESA - CR.
