Panel for Gotha G-I Ursinus -long-range armed biplane, 1915.
------------------------------------------------------------
I took some dummy-parts out of a very detailed black-and-white photo I found of a Gotha G.V bomber flightdeck, and put together a cockpit for this plane.
Probably the virtual model has more gauges than the real one - the oil-pressure indicator for example... but it (the Gotha G-5) did have gauges for air-pressure in the fuel tanks, engine revs, temperature (engines or outside?), altitude, air speed, a clock (instead of fuel gauges), and goodies like fuel valves for the tanks, a hand-air pump for the fuel system, a hand pump for fuel transfer, - a horizontal compass (!!).
...So the Gotha G-1 flightdeck may have been somthing like this.
Most of the gauges are made by Bastian Hundt and Horst Weingärtner:
RPM, oil pressure, fuel pressure, water temperature, air-speed and altimeter.
There is one CFS gauge, the fuel tank selector, which is necessary to toggle, to initialize the tank selector, if you want to simulate flying without payload, i.e. to drop the bombs: The bomb-weight is in a bogus tank, the Left one, which you can empty from the FS fuel menu, and experience the difference in the flight handling for this plane after the bombs were dropped.
Legal stuff:
