Default Viper MKII For Flight Simulator

Hi Everyone,

I have been working on the Viper MKII from the new series for Flight Simulator. Currently I am working on the virtual cockpit part. I have most of the inside done, but need some good pictures of what the panels/gauges look like.

I was watching the "Final Cut" from season 2 last night and noticed there was a pretty good shot of the cockpit during the landing sequence. It was when the pilot was on sims and was about to screw up the landing. Running to my computer with DVD in hand to get some screen captures, I managed to get some nice ones. They show some good shots, but not enough.

Does anyone have some nice pictures of the main panel along with the side ones and the centre panel with the control stick?

Also, does the Viper use a throttle set-up like our fighter jets? In one shot they showed the pilot using the hand throttle, but during the first season when Starbuck was hurt, Adama told her that she would need all her leg strength to work the thrusters during high g flight.

Thanks

Zoren

P.S. I will post some updated pictures later tonight if anyone is interested.

As promised I got a chance to take some screenshots.

Please view the November 04, 2006 photo album.

Comments are welcome, specially if you have some idea of what gauges would look good where. I still haven't had much luck in finding a good layout of the actual gauges used. In one screenshot from the DVD, I noticed the panel below the video panel has a clipboard with what looks like a check list. Would be cool to get a good picture of that.
