I think if SAS is turned off it will cause this. There are probably other things on which the autopilot relies.

That is a good looking armament panel, great job snipes.

Nice. I would need the plastic cover for sure to keep from ruining the pages when my wife shot me after seeing the bill for a game manual... :D

I searched and didn't find anything about sessions timeouts. Is there any way to increase the session timeout for this site? I seem to have to login if I don't touch my computer for just a few minutes. Thanks

Some more work on the main panel design. I'm going to use my TM Cougar MFD's which are smaller than the real thing so the proportions look a little off.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried all combinations of settings on my Nvidia GTX 460 with no effect. Is there a more appropriate forum/method for HawgTouch support? I don't want to hijack this thread with my little problem.

First of all, thank you ClearDark for sharing this great program free of charge. I have a problem that I'm hoping you can help with. None of the gauges will show on my system, even using the supplied xml files. It appears to be some kind of z-buffer problem because I can briefly see the gauges when I click on the button for the tab. This is kind of hard to explain but I see a big solid color rectangle where the gauges should be. If I click repeatedly on the button for the gauge tab then I get kind of a shutter effect where the solid rectangle disappears for a split second and the gauges show through. They are working, I can see them moving as they should if I click fast enough. This is on Windows XP x64 edition. Any clues? TIA

+1 This is very confusing.

I think you are on the right track snipes. Looking at the silkscreen on the center PCB for the connector to the PCB on the left I see what looks like a controller port (P0.3) and button numbers (9,10,12). It might be worth checking if what I think are button numbers line up with what the joystick reports. Good luck.

Thanks for the work you put into this Tiger. I was wondering about maintaining state between the sim and your panel for the functions that toggle. Do you always set your panel a certain way before launching A-10?

A forum member asked for the dimensions I used for the AHCP so I'll post them here. Note that these are my own creation and may or may not reflect the actual panel in any way. :) The large holes are 1/2" and the small are 1/4". Adjust for your switches as needed.

Looking great Feed! I can't wait to get to this point with my CNC. :)

This is a great looking setup, thanks for sharing.

@Duckling: These panels are just "mockups" to flesh out my CAD design and test my software. My CNC is nearly complete, lacking only a speed controller to be able to mill plastic effectively (20,000 RPM + plastic = melted mess). The final panels will be fabricated/engraved by CNC to look like the CAD design.

Until I build something better I am using a custom joystick controller with 64 buttons. These buttons are wired to my toggle switches on the panel. I then assigned the buttons to commands as shown in this post. Since that time I have written my own software that reads the buttons, performs logic, and then sends commands via the network directly to the simulator (search this forum for "Export.lua" for discussions about this). If you are not up for writing your own software then you might take a look at products like Helios that are mentioned in this forum. Good luck!
