FS2000 Air Bristol BAC1-11 Package with "Standard" Cockpit panel layout with Category 2/3 autoland.
The aim of this cockpit panel is to give an impression of the cramped and cluttered layout of an Air Bristol BAC1-11-510, and like the real aircraft, has quite a large workload to successfully fly it.
I would like to thank the following people for their efforts and considerable work:
Dave Haskell for the original idea.
Chris Arrington and Richard Probst for their great CARP gauges,and Paul Golding autopilot design.
Harry Geier, Helmut Busch, Tony Cullen at HGHB Virtual Instruments, for their useful gauges.
Matthias Lieberecht for his unique Trident Gauges and Guntram Strasser for his Weather Radar trace.
FREEWARE PANEL DESIGNER ASSOTIATION (FPDA) Andreas Jaros and others for their selection of useful switches/gauges.

John Hamer for his good flying BAC1-11 500 series model.
All the gauge designers and programmers at Microsoft for producing good general gauges and FS2000, without them none of this flight simulation would be possible.
I apologise to any programmers/designers whose names I have left out. It is totally unintentional.

About myself........
This is my second aircraft package, and the cockpit is an upgrade of my original 1-11 design without autoland. The reason why I picked the BAC1-11, is that as an aircraft engineer I used to work on them,and have flown a few times in the cockpit,seated on the cramped spare crew seat! I have also had a go on a real BAC1-11 flight simulator which due to its old age and ancient computers/displays, only had a night time display but still gave a very realistic impression of flying the aircraft,and was quite an experience to fly.
After seeing other peoples cockpit designs,I was inspired to try and design my own and make it as realistic as possible. I hope you find the efforts worthwhile.
The repaint/cockpit was designed manually using freeware repaint and .Air files modification packages, Picture Publisher7 for the paintwork and visual basic routines cut and pasted and modified for the gauges.
This will probably be my last BAC1-11 project, and my final 1-11 cockpit design will be a "standard" BAC1-11 cockpit with full CAT2/3A autoland autopilot, to represent the later 400/500 series aircraft and can be used with any 1-11 models available on flight sim websites.
