Hi guys, I have something of an odd request but do any of you own a flight sim which has the Douglas A1 Skyraider (the big single prop attack aircraft which was used a lot in Vietnam)?

I ask as I'm doing an illustration for my uncle and its one of his favourite aircraft - I can find reference photos for the aircraft exterior but what I really need is some shots of the cockpit interior, specifically looking out over the left wing. I'm not sure how accurate the cockpit modelling is on most flight sims but I haven't found any decent photos on the net. You can get 3d models online but the ones with the kind of detail I need are fairly pricey for 3d modelling software I don't own.

If anyone has any advice, I'd be greatly obliged.

Ill get see if i can get one downloaded tonight , light up the sim and see if i can get a decent pic for you, would that do?

If you could, that'd be amazing - the basic gist of the drawing is a Skyraider pilot taking a photo of his wingman, so I'd need some reference for the cockpit looking out over the left wing with the wingman hanging back slightly. Probably making more work for myself this way! Anything you can provide would be greatfully accepted

Thanks again

They are outstanding - thank you so much, they'll be a great help for my drawing. I've spent weeks trying to find reference photos and you've sorted it in less than half a day. I'm in your debt.
