The biggest problem with a cockpit tutorial, is that a cockpit is nothing more then a collection of very small parts. Each part is modeled in its own way.
The hardest part about the pit, is making what I call the "tub" or the area that the cockpit is built IN, the cockpit walls. Even this varries from each aircraft. You have the Hurricane, that consist's of nothing but pipes, or the P-38 that has a lot of walls. I will see what I can do. Takes me 2 second to model a seat, so I can show how to do that quickly.
I think my first tutorial will be a wing tutorial. In this, I can also explain smoothing groups, since its CRITICAL on. The biggest "n00b" error I see in most models is the black/dark area on the aft section of the wing, caused by bad smoothing groups. Also, how to make a good wing tip helps a lot of people.
