Something that I've been working on today. I took the most excellent device link virtual cockpit for the BF109 and added a cockpit graphic background and resized and position the dials to match. If anyone's interested I will upload it somewhere, I have a a few small tweaks to make but it's pretty much done.
If anyone cares to try it out I've uploaded it here:
P.S See my latest post for my latest cockpit downloads.

The 110 cockpit has been my most ambitious one to date, a heck of a lot of dials and gauges to position and size etc.
Hope someone is enjoying using this stuff, it'd be nice to receive your feedback.
Best regards

great work, will surely test it when i get up in the sky. when you say virtual cockpit, does it mean clickable also? also there is no mention of install procedure in readme file. do i just run the exe file and it is automatic?
Virtual Cockpit (interface for TF Device Link) is not interactive - clickable (like DCSW Helios) - is just the instruments panel in second monitor.
Extract the files for a folder, e.g. inside Documentos\1C soft clube...\VC. Run the Virtual Cockpit.exe (make a shortcut with "Run as Administrator"), select the desired plane cockpit, run CloD and watch the instruments work.

Thank You Aces getting them now ..Will enjoy flying them later...Glad I got CLOD from Steam and with the TF mod makes this a very enjoyable fly.The pits look like icing on the cake.
My pleasure, enjoy Clod, with Team Fusion it's now developed in to an excellent sim.
I'm very pleased with the Stuka, I fixed the gun ammo counter display issue and I noted that the Stuka repeater compass in the game is orientated wrong but the one in the virtual cockpit is correct, that had me guessing for a while .
All feedback welcome, I'll have a look to see what I tackle next.
Cheers
Aces

Aces Kind of confused as to how to install these pits,,I have the Steam version of CLOD and would appreciate any help on how to put them in.Rather ask for help than muck about and mess things up...Thank You
Okay, make a folder called Virtual Cockpits or whatever you wish to name it. This doesn't have to be in your Clod folder.
Unzip all the files in my download into this folder, make sure to keep the folder structure but it should just unrar this way anyway.
Run Clod
Run the "RD_IL2CloDTF30.exe" file located in your "Virtual Cockpits" folder
Run the "VirtualCockpit.exe" file located in the same folder
Once in a mission in Clod pause the game, alt-tab to the RD_IL2CloDTF30 window and click on "open" and then click on "read" you should see lots of data appear in the columns. That means that the data is being read from Clod.
alt-tab to the VirtualCockpit window and double click on one of the cockpits that matches your chosen plane
click on the windows labelled "monitor" and select your second monitor (the monitor not being used by the game"
click on the window labelled "Start" on the bottom right
The cockpit will then appear on this monitor and, when you unpause the game you'll see the instruments in the second monitor display come to life.
That's it, once "RD_IL2CloDTF30.exe" and "VirtualCockpit.exe" are running you can then change planes in Clod and make sure that you change to the correct cockpit in "VirtualCockpit" before you start to fly. You won't harm anything if you don't but it won't work as intgended.
BTW, there way something screwy with my previous upload with the 110 cockpit so I re-uploaded and changed the link in my post above but here it is again if you need it:

Aces Wow bit more complicated than the usual cut and paste,,but your instructions are well laid out and easy to follow..Only remaing question is do the changes become permanent or do I need to run the procedure each flight??? Gonna take a Stuka for a test run in a bit..thanks for the help I was totally lost
Not permanent I'm afraid , you need to run every time you run Clod. Actually it's very intuitive after a few times it becomes a quick and automatic procedure.
My pleasure, hope you enjoy using them, I like the rotating knob for the ventral window in the Stuka, and the bomb arming switches and bomb selection knobs one the panel, they're cool : )
Best wishes
Aces
PS. You only need to load up RD_IL2CloDTF30 and VirtualCockpit once every time you play Clod, leave them running in the background.
