Awesome Job and guide, I plan to do everything you outlined except I bought the RealSimGear G1000 suite instead.

That's my pleasure to share my learnings to save others from doing try and errors... let me know if you are after anything specific. I am happy to share.... (there are still some areas which I haven't released a video yet...)

I found a very low quality jpg image ، imported it in the inkscape software، and increased the size to match the real cessna measurements. I will look tonight to see if I still have the file...

Hi, Sorry for long delay getting back to you .I have just published the G1000 SVG files in my G1000 video. For the real size Instrument panel drawing and the cockpit layout, I found them online. here is the link to what I have used:cessnaglasscockpit.blogspot.com/2010/02/current-cad-drawing-of-my-larger.html

Hi there the video is showing how to build cockpit with instruments. Do you have a video with cockpit and G1000?

@HomePilot Жыл бұрын

Hi there, yes, But hasn't finished yet. I had 2 hard disk failure incidents that cost me loosing 90 percent of my build video footage... I am trying to put some videos together using the photos that I have, and I have to re-record some of the important parts of the video again. My G1000 is a laser cut version of flightsimmaker 3d printed design. You can find the files on thingiverse and his KZfaq channel. I used his PCB boards. I hope I can find some spare time to finish the G1000 video in the next couple of weeks. Please stay tuned and good luck!

Hello there friend. What Is the scale for the panel. I’m doing a steam gauge C172

@HomePilot Жыл бұрын

Hi, It is an almost 1:1 replica. just G1000 bezels are slightly larger than the originals, as I had to stick to the FlightSimMaker's design because I used his G1000 PCBs and I had to match the bezels with those PCBs. I am going to sell my previous cockpit parts including the panel, DIY replica of Bendix King radio stack and a DIY Garmin GPS GSN530 , switch panel, flap panel, and throttle/mixture panel, if you or anyone else is interested... :)

@@marvinbrooks2601 you mean the software? I am kind of loyal to the MSFS, I was flying with it since vesrion 3! I have used x_plane11 and really liked its cockpit integration and I am waiting for its ver12.

@@HomePilot yes I have both and waiting as well. I am the same I am loyal to MSFS as well. But your correct panel integration is much easier
