  1. Finally got this thing mounted up on a prototype rig. Using cardboard as a temp rig until i get everything where i want it, then ill switch to metal.
  2. Hi Brun, if i can use that .obj file in fusion360 ill look through all 40 pages
  3. Hey did anyone have a file i could use to import this into fusion360? Im trying to make a mounting adapter i plan on sharing with you guys. I think i can up with something good if i have the model to mess with.
  4. Hi im a bit of a noob when it comes to setting this stuff up. does anyone have a step by step or can guide me a bit?
  5. Got it! I used the cutting drill bit on a dremel and then drilled it out slowly by stepping up the drill bits.
  6. Thanks, its getting there! I did search ebay but the array of inserts is confusing. I think brun's original design had a lip on it and i dont know if that matters or not. There's bunches for m3 and m4 metric but the have different diameters and i dont know if they would fit.
  7. Do you guys have any leads on the brass inserts? I'm having trouble locating them and the previous links are all dead. I'm 99% there! It looks awesome.
  8. These came from shapeways like this. I thought they would twist off but nope lol
  9. Guys, how do you detach the dials? Every time i try it breaks off. Do you drill them out?
  10. Its here! Its looks great except for some wavy patterns on the crs panel. How did you guys mount yours?
  11. Thanks Lobinjaevel, what im trying to wrap my head around how do you sim pit builders have any available usb ports? Do you guys use powered hubs so you dont hvae all the pc ports clogged up?
  12. guys, i guess i have a follow-up question. Are there boards out there that will do like 20 or more pots? anything you can recommend?
  13. Thanks guys. it just seems crazy to me if you want to build a sim pit you are going to need tons of these boards. The BU0836X im looking at right now only has inputs for 8 pots. How many pots are going to be needed for a hornet simpit?!
  14. You know a lot more about this stuff than I do but in DCS there is one HMD bound to axis the other looks like HMD increase/decrease. Couldn't i bind the pot to that somehow?
  15. Hardware: I have a BBI-64 board with a 10K rotary pot. This one here that was recommended for the IR cool panel http://pcflights.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=46_48&products_id=301 Issue: I am using the pot for my HMD dial. When I turn it up it moves maybe 1/16 of total travel. What could be causing the limited range? Windows sees the pot as buttons 3 and 4. They flash momentarily as I turn the dial on the pot up or down. In the BBI software, I have buttons 3 and 4 set to 1:1, and increasing the pulse width seems to help move the dial a little bit. Thanks for the help and thanks to all who have helped me the last few days figuring out all my input issues.
  16. Nah man you helped a ton. because you gave me the baby step of locating the code i was able to solve my second issue on my own. Now on to getting the pot to work with the HMD and ill almost be done with the left and right side
  17. I got it! however the code looks messy to me. Maybe you have a more elegant solution? { down = SMS_commands.IRCoolingSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.SMS, value_down = 0.2, value_down = 0.1, name = _('IR Cooling Switch - ORIDE'), category = {_('Instrument Panel')}}, --{ down = SMS_commands.IRCoolingSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.SMS, value_down = 0.1, name = _('IR Cooling Switch - NORM'), category = {_('Instrument Panel')}}, --{ down = SMS_commands.IRCoolingSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.SMS, value_down = 0.0, name = _('IR Cooling Switch - OFF'), category = {_('Instrument Panel')}}, { down = SMS_commands.IRCoolingSw, up = SMS_commands.IRCoolingSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.SMS, value_down = 0.0, value_up = 0.1, name = _('IR Cooling Switch 3 POS'),
  18. LeCuvier, Would you be able to tell me where i went wrong wit the code below? it seems i can get it half working but not totally. This is a 3 position switch (On-Off-On) for IR Cool. I can get it to read 2 postions but not the third position. Any thoughts? Below is the code. { down = SMS_commands.IRCoolingSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.SMS, value_down = 0.2, name = _('IR Cooling Switch - ORIDE'), category = {_('Instrument Panel')}}, { down = SMS_commands.IRCoolingSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.SMS, value_down = 0.1, name = _('IR Cooling Switch - NORM'), category = {_('Instrument Panel')}}, { down = SMS_commands.IRCoolingSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.SMS, value_down = 0.0, name = _('IR Cooling Switch - OFF'), category = {_('Instrument Panel')}}, I tried with, but i couldnt get it to work right { down = SMS_commands.IRCoolingSw, up = SMS_commands.IRCoolingSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.SMS, value_down = 0.0, value_up = 0.1, value_up = 0.2, name = _('IR Cooling Switch - 3 Pos Switch'), category = {_('Instrument Panel')}},
  19. Sprool, thanks. I was so close to junking it all at least now i have a little hope its doable.
  20. Sprool, thanks man, I got it working and best of all it looks like it remembers the switch position if I die or boot into the game with the master arm already up. you mind helping me with one more? Maybe after that I can extrapolate out what you and LeCuvier are doing for the rest of the switches. This is a 3 position switch (On-Off-On) for IR Cool. I can get it to read 2 postions but not the off switch. Any thoughts? Below is the code. { down = SMS_commands.IRCoolingSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.SMS, value_down = 0.2, name = _('IR Cooling Switch - ORIDE'), category = {_('Instrument Panel')}}, { down = SMS_commands.IRCoolingSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.SMS, value_down = 0.1, name = _('IR Cooling Switch - NORM'), category = {_('Instrument Panel')}}, { down = SMS_commands.IRCoolingSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.SMS, value_down = 0.0, name = _('IR Cooling Switch - OFF'), category = {_('Instrument Panel')}}, I tried with, but i couldnt get it to work right { down = SMS_commands.IRCoolingSw, up = SMS_commands.IRCoolingSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.SMS, value_down = 0.0, value_up = 0.1, value_up = 0.2, name = _('IR Cooling Switch - 3 Pos Switch'), category = {_('Instrument Panel')}},
  21. Sprool, Thanks again I was in Saved Games/DCS/Config/Input/FA-18C_hornet/joystick/, then i right click to open BBI-64 in note ++ Edit* I did find the folder now it was in regular DCS not saved games. Can you guide me on what to change? Maybe if you put it in bold ill understand { down = SMS_commands.MasterArmSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.SMS, value_down = 1.0, name = _('Master Arm Switch - ARM'), category = {_('Instrument Panel'), _('Master Arm Panel')}}, { down = SMS_commands.MasterArmSw, cockpit_device_id = devices.SMS, value_down = 0.0, name = _('Master Arm Switch - SAFE'), category = {_('Instrument Panel'), _('Master Arm Panel')}},
  22. Guys I appreciate the help but I don't know where to paste this stuff or what to do with it. My code above looks different than what you guys are posting. and rather than frustrate us both, I’m just going to throw it in the garbage. I just ordered Brun’s UFC too, 400 bucks, right in the dumb garbage. I’ve spent 2 days looking at this and trying to figure it out and I've come to the conclusion that even if I get it working through some miracle, it’s still going to be with a host of caveats like updates wiping my hard work our 3rd party programs that I have to run in order to get all this stuff just to line up. Its funny, I’ve spent 4 months playing this game and the last two days makes me want to not play ever again.
  23. Fused, thats the thread i saw before but i cant make heads or tails of it it because the coding is differnt looking than mine. Jeez i cant wait until i get to encoders and potentiometers ������������������
