S-92 cockpit questions
Hey rotorheads. First to let you know, I am a real (CPL) helicopter pilot, not a 10 year old kid who thinks helicopters are cool. Well...I do actually...but you get the point.
I'm starting to build a S-92 simulator at home, just for fun. But I don't have a S-92 available near me, wrong choice you might say...
So I hope there's someone here who can give me some help. To start the designing I need some dimensions of the cockpit. I've drawn them in an image to make it a bit more clear: http://i877.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps17de05f0.jpg
Its 12 different dimensions, A to L. Is there someone who can help me with this? Thank you in advance.

For the green narrow check the AFCS dimension...
And for the G and H narrow this is also standart dimension G= FMS dimension and H try to find a CPU dimension...
For both side of the Mission display you can put 2,5cm and less than 1 cm for the other take a button of the mdf as a reference ...
For I and K i don't know....

Thanks Jazzyj, I found some of the dimensions now. As you said, I can find others by comparing, and it doesn't need to be exact for me. There's somebody who has a friend who fly's the S-92, he's gonna try to get me all of the dimensions. But this definitely gives me some things to start with.
I was very relieved to see that Rockwell Collins uses a 10" monitor

A S-92 mechanic, perfect for questions 
I'm gonna use X-Plane, together with our own software: Air Manager

The project is coming together a bit. I've been busy designing the MFD flight system, but there are still some questions I have. I've never flown with a MFD, I only have typeratings on R22 and R44 
I hope someone can help me to fill in the blanks.
The questions I have:
- What does the ALTP stand for (white text top right with 2000 below)?
- What does the green MIN stand for (to the right of ALTP)?
- What does RA stand for (Green text right from AGL)?
- Below there's LTNG, what does this mean (bottom middle)?
Then there's the top:
- P IAS (something to do with the autopilot?)
- R PLOC (no communication?)
- C ALT PG/S (I have no clue)
I'm sorry that I'm such a MFD noob, but I hope to gain more knowledge by this.
And to show you that I'm really working on something, I have a picture. This picture is already a bit old, it has become more complete. I'm gonna add a few more things and then I'll make short clip where you'll see it moving.

I'm not an S92 pilot but pending a real live one appearing, I can fill in some of the blanks:
ALTP - Altitude Preset. You dial up the altitude, engage the mode and the helicopter arrives at that altitude
Min - GUESSING the setting of the bug which, when you descend below it, brings on the EGPWS callout "minimums"
RA - GUESSING Radalt ie radio altimeter.
LTNG - don't know, sorry, except that I think it is the selected Nav source for the screen
At the top is the row of engaged modes on the autoplot, the white P R and C are pitch (ie fore/aft cyclic), roll/yaw and collective axes.
The writing in green is the engaged modes on these axes so IAS is airspeed, PLOC is pseudo localiser (ie a localiser like Nav function produced by the FMS). ALT is altitude hold. PG/S is pseudo glideslope, again generated by the FMS. It is white and on the lower row because it is armed, not engaged. When the heli flies into the glideslope, the ALT will disappear and the PG/S will move up and go green.
Do I get my S92 type rating now please?

HC, you're hired.
Not on the basic certified model when I retired, but my guess is that the LTNG allows the pilot to display data from an optional lightning sensor system. Perhaps someone who has such equipment can comment?

LTNG
LTNG is the soft key to select Lightning Sensor overlay (in a similar way to TCAS). The Honeywell lightning sensor is an option on the S92. Sorry HC, it's not the selected nav source.

Oh yes, I just saw it at bottom centre of the screen showing the mode was active. If I had also noticed it adjacent to the soft key, next to TCAS, WXR, TER I would have guessed better!
