The cockpit on ours has no equipment what so ever!
However one of our members has a fully restored panel on display, I'll take some pictures of it today.
Its in a glass cabinet though so it may not be ideal for a background.
Also if you want external pictures ours is very close to complete now, at the moment its just a case of getting the glazing back in the cabin so if it has to go outside at all its water proof.

That's not really a problem if the instrument coving is still there. A wide angle shot showing the window struts and the instrument cowling is all that is required I don't need the actual gauges. Brian is going to send me some images this weekend so there may be something useable in that.

This Wessex is going to be a ‘must have’ when released. The development shots show it going from strength to strength. It’s the attention to detail that’s impressive, like the awesome rotor textures and the FOD shield, which earlier in the thread wasn’t going even going to be featured and is now represented very well.
Just in case any more reference material is required, below is a photo I've dug out of XV728 at Newark air museum, which shows the FOD Shield well.
Looking forward to its release with anticipation and thanks for allowing us to be privy to its ongoing development.

Would it be worth approaching the Helicopter Museum in Weston super Mare for Wessex panel images? I visited there recently and they had several in their display.

I too think that the viewpoint os a hard nut to crack in MSFS.
I sent Brian F some pics (including a downward shot from the RH seat and panel shots, last year), I have my viewpoint out so I can see the main wheel from this position. VC is fine, but 2 D almost impossible!
A Wessex pilot needs to move his head about far more than is usual in MSFS.......and you will nearly always have another pair of eyes, down the back too

I took a couple of shots of the gear assembly with the tail folded at Duxford on Sunday if they'll be of use for texture purposes
