A320 Cockpit Liners

[PaulSavage]

Dodiano,

You mention you are a real life Airbus driver, wondering if you could get some detailed photographs that are up to date?

Paul

[dodiano]

Yes I can. What do you need?

[Fritz]

You can look around inside the cockpit here: http://www.airbus.com/aircraftfamili...virtual-visit/

I did my Interior by myself. It took many working hours but saves money.

There are some measurements over here with downloadable skp and 3ds files -- unfortunately none for the liners.

Fritz -- ah it looks like you have some carpentry skills -- none which I possess, and perhaps something I must learn. Or perhaps just hire a local carpenter to make it all up for me?

I don't have the space in my apartment for woodworking corner, its all taken up for the flight simulator

Dodiano - thank you. If you can get specifically good quality pictures of all the window liners, ceiling lining, and the side boxes that would be a great start. There's more brownie points for taking good measurements too, including depths in mm! What I mean by that is if you can trace around every single angle on the component and make a note of the measurement, that would allow us to draw out a rough 2D drawing and even work out angles.

Fritz - I'm impressed. They look good. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind doing the same? For reference? Measurement of any kind are helpful at this stage in order to get the preliminary modelling completed.

Everyone has been great on this thread, I have made contact with a model maker in the UK that is keen to be involved in this project. He is suggesting a 100kg/m3 Extruded Polystyrene product that would be fairly inexpensive to buy in raw format, but may be expensive to cut into the shapes of the components. I am waiting on his quote back.

I had posted a Project on Freelancer.co.uk to try and establish interest from a reverse engineering CAD designer and got 20 odd replies. The average quote is £1000.00 to do this.

Sounds good Paul -- I will be willing to split the cost for some designs if we can get large enough interest.

This company already has the CAD designs for the A320 --

Omni - yip, I am aware of this company and have emailed them asking if I can buy the CAD drawing. No response yet.

[Fritz]

Did you already have this for the beginning? http://www.jeehell.org/A320.skp

Hi Fritz

Yes, I already have this file. It's not accurate enough. Would you mind doing some measurement of your sim? I'm guessing your components are as close to 1:1 Scale as they're doing to get?
