  1. OpenHornet: Now with more glareshields. Still kicking around mounting and such, but going to be focusing on getting the Upper Instrument Panel build ready first. I do need some COTS PCBs modelled for this effort, and I'm perfectly okay with COTS components being a STEP. So message me if you would like to take those on! Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
  2. I just went and double checked. I stand corrected - its "center tub.sldprt". It is very much a placeholder. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
  3. How did you download the repository? Are you familiar enough with CAD to understand file relationships and parametric modelling? (Not talking down to, just asking!) And honestly, the center tub is basically a placeholder until I get the stick designed and integrated. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
  4. Its saved as 2019, so 2018 wont open it. I'll see if I can duplicate it. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
  5. Hey DD! I just updated the report's README to include the basic top level assembly structure. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
  6. All, we got the repo up on GitHub! I'll be populating issues and project boards over the next week or two, and hoping development can continue as a community! https://github.com/jrsteensen/OpenHornet Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
  7. Good morning all! Randomtroubledmind and I have decided to start building a preliminary release package of the CAD models for the OpenHornet project and the F/A-18C cockpit reference model. This package will not reflect the final configuration and everything will be subject to change. We feel this is the best path forward given development has somewhat stalled due to life responsibilities. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
  8. Hey gents. Been making some progress. Still slow, but finished models of the ABSIS Nano and Mega and starting to integrate it into the panels. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
  9. Absolutely don't disagree, but not many builders ready to pull the trigger on a full build in a reasonable timeframe to act as alpha testers. Would certainly be nice though!
  10. I agree Draken, they will not be fast enough. (I used them in the original iterations of OpenHornet's gauges before I discovered they were pretty slow.)
  11. I kind of like the idea of an open QA period before starting drawings. Great idea. I'll talk to the team about it. Thanks. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
  12. Thanks for the donation, Battis! Very appreciated.
  13. So really the major items we have left for mechanical work is the stick, glareshields, skins, and center tub structure. We aren't committing to any timelines at this point as work is very very slow to progress right now, but once those items are complete, we may look at a partial release. It depends if people want a full drawings package or if the CAD files will be sufficient.
  14. Eh, those are very inaccurate. And SketchUp. Thanks though. ;)
  15. Does anyone have a CAD Model of the TM Warthog stick and throttle? Looking for it for a little side project I'm working on. Need either a STEP, Parasolid, or SW model.
  16. Look absolutely fantastic TomVR! Thanks! Turns out we were very very close with the left grip, though I'll try to get around to tweaking it to match yours when I get the chance. I'm back at work on the project, having completed the HOOK indicator and working the standby compass. I'm going to forgo a full canopy bow, as it just adds complexity to the goal of making the pit easily moved, and reference info with the canopy closed is extremely hard to come by.
  17. They came out nice hreich! All, The project is slow on progress right now. This is a busy time of year for all of us with our real jobs. Not abandoned. Just slow for a bit. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
  18. For commercial spec switches, these are the ones I favor: http://https://www.digikey.com/products/en/switches/toggle-switches/201?k=&pkeyword=&sv=0&pv545=6&sf=0&FV=ffe000c9%2Cffec0509%2Cfffc0168&quantity=&ColumnSort=0&page=1&nstock=1&pageSize=25
  19. Fantastic work so far WhoMadeWho! If I might ask, how does the attitude indicator work? That is one instrument I could not figure out a simple way of making work mechanically.
  20. The boards are networked via a number of RS485 slaves into a RS485 Master. The Master is connected to a USB hub. The system will be powered via various power buses/power supplies. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
  21. Hey all. I forgot to mention I added the STEP files to the ZIP file earlier this week.
  22. Couldn't tell you, as I'm not familiar with the G. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
