B-17 Full size Cockpit.

[B-17 Salem's Angel]

Hello,

I am embarking on a lifetime goal of building a b-17 full motion cockpit. I've started to 3d model and print many of the parts I will need. However I do have questions before I jump in with both feet. For the life of me I cannot find a good digital copy of just the instrument faces. Can anyone lead me to a corner of the internet I have yet to visit?

Also I'm looking for software and a2a I'm hoping will be the one. With this program does it support multi monitors with just the view not the cockpit. Also will it support a program like simtools so I can make all the switches etc functional and of course make it move? I hear that A2A does not have combat missions. If true suggestions for a program to use when I wish to blow something up

Thank you in advance and I plan on starting some sort of log once I start building.

Yes it is possible but as with any of these projects a lot of work is required and you'll be custom programming a lot to help make the simpit work and read the correct gauge values and control inputs etc

thanks,
