Hey,

Newbie here, so I'll keep it short! Can anyone who works in or around any Merlin aircraft (green or grey ;)) provide me with details on the flight deck gauges, notably the MFD style gauges? Any photos, diagrams or details would be gratefully recieved!
I'm designing a Merlin package for Flight Sim 2004 and really lacking info on the flightdeck! :ugh: Check here (http://www.x-plane.org/users/chrislarvin/fs/merlin/test_shot2.jpg) for a preview of the green one, and the grey one can be found here here (http://www.x-plane.org/users/chrislarvin/fs/merlin/test_shot1.jpg).

Please PM or email me at chrislarvin AT gmail.com

Thanks,

Chris

It know doesn't really help you, but the radar appears to be missing from the grey one - and the tailplane is no longer on both sides of the tailcone (as during development on at least one of the PP aircraft) it is only on the righthand side.

Why not try contacting Westlands? Or one of the Merlin units?

Pm me for the current layout. It is, however, all going to change in xxx years (insert a number here depending on level of cynicism) time so I'd call Wastelands if I were you.

Thanks for the replies guys.
Southern Rotary Bloke, thanks for your observations! I was just giving an example of how the tail would be different from the utility version.
I believe it was PP5 that featured the assymetrical tail plane early on in development.

Speaking to someone at Westlands at the moment, but the assitance hasn't materialised. :ugh:
