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.

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

    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!

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.

Gemini B cockpit layout

The Gemini B was the military version of the Gemini spacecraft, adapted for use on the MOL (Manned Orbiting Laboratory) program. The general cockpit layout was similar, but many instruments were changed. I'm doing a 3D model of the cockpit, and as part of that I need to recreate the dashboard layout. For the normal Gemini we have great detailed instrument layouts, but for Gemini B we must work based on photos. I've identified as much labels as possible. Some probably have errors, but still I think you get the idea of the general operation. The main difference from the stock Gemini is that gauges and switches are more protected perhaps from accidental touching. Also you have controls for the MOL laboratory on the right hand panel. Left panel Center panel Bottom panel Right panel I'm working mainly based on two reference photos: (http://www.nro.gov) (unknown origin)

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
