Ultra probe cockpit

I'm working on a virtual cockpit for the Space:1999 Ultra Probe.




Textures from my Eagle cockpit are being reused because screenshots from the series are not clear enough to detail all the panels.

  1. Nice works, man...!!
    I'm a fan of space 1999.
    Where i can get these 3D sketchup models ???
    Thanks :)

  2. Thanks :-) The 3D meshes are part of the virtual cockpit in flyable Ultraprobe. The ship is simulated in Orbiter Space Simulator, along with Moonbase Alpha and other familiar vehicles. Development was a community effort and I contributed with some cockpits, a main mission mesh and a eagle repaint.

    See http://www.orbithangar.com/search_quick.php?text=moonbase&submit.x=0&submit.y=0 to get the addons!

Orion cockpit layout

In preparation for my Constellation program add-on, I collected some images about Orion's cockpit panel layout. These are quite interesting and you can see how it is evolving. 2012 (NASA Systems Engineering Simulator) 2014  layout I assembled this view  from a NASA video showing most parts of the panel and LCD displays. Resolution is good enough to read most of the labels. 2014 Mockup 2015 Mockup The 2015 mockup shows some diferences from the 2014 version. The design seems less monotonous and with a few less flip switches. Image sources: NASA

Hermes space shuttle interior, cockpit and instrument panel resources

The ESA Hermes space shuttle project ran from 1975 to 1992, after an original proposal from the French CNES (National Space Studies Center). The spacecraft was intended to serve two proposed  European  space stations:  the Man Tended Free-Flyer / Columbus Space Station and the Polar Platform. Before cancellation, some mock-ups and trainers were built.   Because the project was developed in the 1980's there aren't many reference photos on the web.  I'm taking the liberty of posting the all the images I could find on the web  of the Hermes interior, cockpit and instrument panels. This way they are grouped all  together in a single place for the convenience, so that the general layout can be understood and the different mock-ups / simulator versions can be sorted out.  Hermes shuttle flight simulator Hermes shuttle simulator Hermes shuttle misc mock-ups Hermes shuttle mock-up version "a" ...

Vostok panels

I've more or less completed the Vostok panels. The main panel is reasonably accurate, but the side panel is still very rough. Without better reference images it will be hard to do.
