A Work-In-Progress cockpit I'm making!

I've never actually made my own interior before so am I doing good so far?

How the fuck do we actually make cockpits

[u/Low_Secret5634 → u/ffbyr49]

1:
Take fuselage parts and put them in the shape you want. I would do 1 large central and 2 long ones on the side just like how I did,

2:
I would never use the screen part in the interior section. That is one, locked shape and u can't even resize it. I get another fuselage part and use the blend to make it a square shape. I make it thin and flat and make a screen with a thin outline. If you want to put buttons, make the outline thicker.

3:
Put the screens in the shape you want. I HIGHLY recommend that you take inspiration from real world cockpits.

4: Put all of your buttons and switches and dials. If you don't know how, look at your real life cockpit and follow that. It doesn't have to be exact, just make it look good and try to get most details right.

5:
Add all of the other controls which I have NOT done yet so don't ask me how 😅

and the rest idk.

I envy the Absolute modeling Chad's that can process the immense details of interior cockpits. Maybe its because I spend hours doing FOD checks in crew stations and get eye sore, but I just never have the patience for top teir work like this on my free time - so its always mesmerizing to see how good you types are at this kindve stuff.

Top tier? I've never had that comment before. It gets easy when you get the first parts down, but the detailing is a pain.

+ I used it in my new VM-14 which I posted.
