Full pilot cockpit. I had already done all the left and right console panels, but they weren't to scale. I just used what I had. I'm trying to get it as accurate as possible this time around with backlighting.

Man that looks amazing, Ive recently started remaking my panels to more accurate dimensions, then I'm starting on the frame!

Would you be willing to share your switch caps designs?

I did some coding to hopefully put a screen behind the fuel gauge. Still working out the best way to mount it up but the code works! IMG_5631.MOV

This keeps looking better and better! Makes me want to completely start over on mine! Did you remove your shapeways store?

These are great! Available for download or just print only?

This is absolutely fantastic work. I commented on it in the DCS cockpit FB group. I can’t find the download button in shapeways. I wanna take a closer look and see if I can fit it into my current center console design. I was happy with my design until I saw yours! Very nice work! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you!

I'm assuming those are interlock switches? Ive looked into the interlock switches, but they all seemed small. Do you mind referencing which one you used?

I’m going to start trying to do some videos on what I’ve done so far. I’m thinking about taking each panel and doing a video series. One panel at a time. Something on a 1st Grade level.

Very nice! I’ve done the AoA Indexer. Haven’t printed the rest yet. Let me know how yours comes out! Getting closer! All console panels installed and tested! Gonna take a break and actually enjoy some flying!

Tape Player is my own little design! Danger Zone on command! Lol! Yeah the AC panel is a bit of work with the 3d printer as well. However its going to be fully functional!

Hot off the laser. Just got to clean them with alcohol wipes and get to work!

Half the right console almost complete. I should have the whole right console mostly complete this week!

Lol! I’ve actually cut some white sticker vinyl to wrap them when I get a chance. Yeah I’m using a K40 laser cutter with black on white two color acrylic. I also have a Ender V2 3D printer for some stuff.

Left Console Testing almost complete. I’ve also started on the right console panels. Well into the testing phase. Can’t wait to start the actual frame for the pit!

Here’s my ACM panel. I also be adding a screen for a working slip turn indicator.

I have mine set for when the cover opens the handle pops up. When I close the cover the handle goes down. The handle files go in the keyboard lua file. The axis command for wrong sweep goes on joystick lua.

Yeah goes in keyboard lua file. Yep you can pop it out Regardless of cover up or down. Yeah the last command that says pop out else in will work with either. On or momentary switch

Here is what I have for the Wingsweep Lever and Cover: {down = device_commands.WINGSWEEP_EmergencySweepCover, up = device_commands.WINGSWEEP_EmergencySweepCover, value_down = 1, value_up = 0, cockpit_device_id = devices.WINGSWEEP, name = _('Emergency Wing Sweep Handle Cover OPEN else Close'), category = _('-Pmods')}, {down = device_commands.WINGSWEEP_EmergencySweepCover, cockpit_device_id = devices.WINGSWEEP, value_down = 0, name = _('Emergency Wing Sweep Cover CLOSE'), category = { _('-Pmods')}}, {down = device_commands.WINGSWEEP_EmergencySweepCover, cockpit_device_id = devices.WINGSWEEP, value_down = 1, name = _('Emergency Wing Sweep Cover OPEN'), category = { _('-Pmods')}}, {down = device_commands.WINGSWEEP_EmergencySweepCover, up = device_commands.WINGSWEEP_EmergencySweepCover, value_down = 1, value_up = 0, cockpit_device_id = devices.WINGSWEEP, name = _('Emergency Wing Sweep Cover OPEN else CLOSED'), category = _('-Pmods')}, {down = device_commands.WINGSWEEP_EmergencyLeverExtended,up=device_commands.WINGSWEEP_EmergencyLeverExtended, cockpit_device_id=devices.WINGSWEEP, value_down=1.0, value_up=0.0, name=_('Emergency Wing Sweep Handle PopOut else In'), category=_('-Pmods')}, It will create a new category called Pmods but you can edit that last part and called it whatever you want. If anyone needs a binding just ask, I have a lot of them. I plan to upload them all once I get it how I want.

I’m not home but I’ll post some screenshots tomorrow. I’ve got that too. I’ll post tomorrow when I get home.

The file is here: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\F14\Input\F-14B-Pilot\joystick\default.lua Be sure to open with Notepad ++ and yes it will then appear in your Controls menu under Axis Commands for F14 Pilot.

Here are the lines I've added so far to my joystick lua. You can see the wingsweep axis at the top. This file is under C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\F14\Input\F-14B-Pilot\joystick\default.lua Open the file with Notepad++ and Add them to the bottom under the --joystick axes {action = device_commands.WINGSWEEP_EmergencySweepLever, cockpit_device_id=devices.WINGSWEEP, name=_('Emergency Wing Sweep')}, {action = device_commands.RADIO_ICS_Vol_Sidewinder, cockpit_device_id=devices.ICS, name = _("ICS Sidewinder Volume")}, {action = device_commands.RADIO_ICS_Vol_ALR67_Pilot, cockpit_device_id=devices.ICS, name = _("ICS ALR-67 Volume")}, {action = device_commands.RADIO_VHF_VOL_PILOT, cockpit_device_id = devices.ARC182, name = _("ARC-182 Volume")}, {action = device_commands.RADIO_ICS_Vol_Pilot, cockpit_device_id = devices.ICS, name = _("ICS Volume")}, {action = device_commands.LIGHTS_Console, cockpit_device_id = devices.COCKPITMECHANICS, name = _("Console Light Intensity")}, {action = device_commands.LIGHTS_ACMPanel, cockpit_device_id = devices.COCKPITMECHANICS, name = _("ACM Panel Light Intensity")}, {action = device_commands.LIGHTS_Formation, cockpit_device_id = devices.COCKPITMECHANICS, name = _("Formation Light Intensity")}, {action = device_commands.LIGHTS_Instruments, cockpit_device_id = devices.COCKPITMECHANICS, name = _("Instrument Light Intensity")}, {action = device_commands.AoA_IndexerStrength, cockpit_device_id = devices.AOASYSTEM, name = _("AoA Indexer Light Intensity")}, {action = device_commands.Temperature, cockpit_device_id = devices.COCKPITMECHANICS, name = _("A/C Temperature")}, {action = device_commands.TACAN_Knob_Vol_Pilot, cockpit_device_id = devices.TACAN, name = _("TACAN Volume")}, {action = device_commands.RADIO_UHF_BRT_Pilot, cockpit_device_id = devices.ARC159, name = _("UHF ARC-159 Display Brightness")}, {action = device_commands.RADIO_UHF_VOL_Pilot, cockpit_device_id = devices.ARC159, name = _("UHF ARC-159 Volume")}, {action = device_commands.ARA63_Chnl_Knob, cockpit_device_id = devices.ILS, name = _("AN/ARA-63 Channel Knob")}, For wingsweep (and most other volume knobs), I find it works better if you Tune the Axis to 50,55,60,65,70,75,80,85,90,95,100 and make sure to click the slider checkbox.

Yes, it’s possible, but you have to add a line to your joystick lua file. I have mine attached to a slide potentiometer and it works just fine. However when you are in auto wingsweep you get a crazy animation in game because the lever in game is trying to move but it senses your pot not moving. I plan to fix this by using a motorized sliding pot. I’ll post the code when I get home to add to your joystick axis lua.

I’m working on those now actually. I kinda have it working. I’m using a mechanical rotary encoder with a push button. The push pull is working but I can’t get the desired turns. Something is a little off. Will post once I get it corrected (if I can). You will need a Leo Bodnar BBI32 board so that you can set the rotary encoder to 1:1 on clicks.
