* When the new external model is done a mostly new 3D cockpit will be built out from the skin inward.  
* When the new external model is done a mostly new 3D cockpit will be built out from the skin inward.  
* Almost none of the existing models in the cockpit were built from actual plans/blue prints and as a result are not accurately modeled. Exceptions that will not need to be remodeled include:
* Almost none of the existing models in the cockpit were built from actual plans/blue prints and as a result are not accurately modeled.  
* Currently in the process of moving existing interior models into the new fuselage.  Fit not perfect but close enough to allow getting things working in sim and components can be replaced as time permits.
* The new correctly dimensioned cockpit is about 3 inches narrower and 3.5 inches lower relative to the Fuselage Reference line than the existing model.  In addition the new model has the 0, 0, 0 point located in the factory location which is 7.68 inches behind the front edge of the cowl.  So the 0, 0, 0 point is about 32 inches behind the old location.  This means that the old interior components like gauges, radios, controls... need to be moved around a considerable amount to get them fitted into the new cockpit.  It also means that many animations of existing components need to be modified to use the new locations.
* Components that will not need to be remodeled include:
** Most instruments.
