CA-262 VR Flight Deck Progress

4,150 fleia262  yesterday

This girl is about the size of a B767-400, and a fictional member of the KLM fleet. She's wide body 4-engined airliner with an immersive flight deck optimized for VR. Taking a lot of inspiration from E-3 Sentry EWACS and B747 for design queues, and B777 for technical references.

I put a lot of thought into her livery and came across this photo of the KLM 747 from the Tenerife disaster, PH-BUF. I did my best to match it. From what I can gather, her livery received an update/repaint sometime between 1975 - 1976, before the disaster would take place.

In addition to interconnected systems like electrics, fuel transfer, motor-pumps, bleed air for engine starts and proper cockpit lighting:
WAYPOINT NAVIGATION!! Including approach fixes and runway centerline tracking for all runways in the VR map, including the Ice Base. This will enable very nice landings that can establish you on a 10-mile final leading to the touchdown zone on the runway. Below I have her lined up to take off using the centerline Wright Isles Auxiliary (WIU) 08.

I also dedicated some room to include an operator's manual and onboard checklists (normal and non-normal). I did a lot of work with suspension and managed to make this bird capable of butter landings on the mains. I was aiming for an blended Boeing/Bombardier vibe, but accidently made it feel like an IL-96 cockpit.
This one is coming along very well. Not too sure when she will be ready.
