Title: Re: 2D Panel for B727
Post by jcrous on Jan 29th, 2010 at 1:01pm
I have started with the 2 Panel, but now I have a question of opinion for 2D panel users.

An aircraft's panel is designed of such a layout that the pilot is sitting on the left and he will only see the left third of his instruments right in front of him, with his eyes directed in front of him (in the case of this CS B727, the Attitude Director Indicator (ADI) right in front of him - This gauge is basically the center of his view or his third of the panel). He has to turn his eyes or head to the right to see the Engine Instrument Panel.
In a 2D panel the author do the lay-out so that the pilot will see the left two thirds of the whole cockpit instrument panel (to include everything from the left to the landing gear handle). Unfortunately the new center gauge will be the radar altimeter. I don't have a problem with that as I would like to see as much of the instruments simultaneously. Will that be a problem to other 2D users? I can make it with the same views, but the the Engine Instrument Panel will have to be a separate panel.

Maybe I will have to think in the line of two designes, where the user have a choice whether he/she will use which one.

I would like your comments please.
