Any recommendations to replace the air file for this monster..? (looking for the engine gauges to work) (I know little about editing the air file)
The reason engine gauges are not working is that they used piston engine instead of turbo prop. I configured the panel to use turbo gauges. Overwrite original panel.cfg with this one. You can leave cab file in the panel folder or copy it to gauge folder. Your preference. Robert
I'm looking for detailed pictures of the cockpit and flight engineers station for the SR-45.
I've combed thru Google and seen the out of focus cockpit shots. I have the Saunders Roe PR info
while having nice pictures of her being built and flown, nothing that clearly shows the pilots panel.
If you know of any pictures or books it would be information greatly appreciated.
I did a bunch of research for Paul when he was building the model and yes, it is hard to find good info with the normal searches. Here are links to the best of what we had:
Smiths' Instruments advertisement from 1952
1952 | 2934 | Flight Archive
Cut-away drawings of the Princess. Note that the FE station is labeled as "Flight Engineers" (plural) and shows two seats. Six crew- 2 pilots, Nav, RO, 2 FE
1952 | 2837 | Flight Archive
1952 | 2843 | Flight Archive
1952 | 2844 | Flight Archive
On this page you will find the best (some not great) pictures of many details including the various panels and systems. Scroll through and click on the thumbnails for larger images.

Edit - forgot one - Popular Science overview including one view of a mock-up of the cockpit

There are a bunch of flight items that need some help (and further research)... drag/thrust, flaps, probably tuning of contact/scrape points, but in other ways it's a fun model that flies as ponderously as you'd expect for such a monster.

Hi Rob,
What an incredible wealth of information...! The instrumentation pics are all that I could hope for. The pictures portray an historical look an aeronautical engineering for that time period
that is priceless. Please accept my thanks for sharing these resources.

A redo of the default BOAC paint scheme in a slightly higher texture resolution. The graphics around the nose had some texture mapping limitations so I could not recreate the historically correct graphics to my satisfaction. Still I think it's a nice addition to this aircraft.

It's for the Russian Bear bomber, but I tend to use it for most of my "heavy" multi-engine turbo props.
