Hello again guys, I do not think I will work on this anymore so I have now moved it out of the WIP thread to here.
This is not a new slot but replaces the stand in cockpit used for the original release.
Original request for new cockpit:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,70188.0.htmlNew cockpit WIP thread:
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,70839.0.htmlEssentially we removed the cockpit it was originally uploaded with and then took as much of the orginal models cockpit mesh work as possible and made it work with a lot of stuff borrowed and tinkered with from other aircraft, along with a touch of mesh altering and dubious painting here was the result.

Please remove any previous releases you might have prior to the date of this link as the folder has had various alterations for java, meshes and textures.We now feel we have gone as far as we can on this, there are still issues such as the steering columns moving away from the holes they are located in
sometimes on auto but also in some instances in manual depending on how you are flying, my java work is dubious at the best of times so hopefully those more proficient might be able to offer a solution later on.
Alex (Bison_M) improved the overall look of the instrument panel in ways only he can and got as many of the dials working as he
could, the seatbelt was also removed although the deactivated mesh is still there if you prefer it:
Alex informs me the damage model does not work but that is one rabbit hole I am not going down this time, sorry
guys, the aircraft therefore remains as it was and we only looked at doing what we could within the cockpit to try
and answer the request.
That is, it, we are done, thanks very much to Alex for his help it is always appreciated.
The aircraft is already included in my stationary planes mod I think but just for completeness you can find the SSP here in my thread:

Wishing you all the very best, Pete and Alex.
