John great work your attention to detail is truly inspirational :thumbup:

Lynx you have no idea of how much of either. :cry: But you may find out .it is a long road.

Do you have space for a real unit? If so shoot me a pm

What do you want to use it for a slew?

Ya it sure does it takes tons of time to find components that can make a replica panel.

Sorry I posted CMSP in stead of CMSC THE F16 uses the EWMU (CMSP) that is a max width of 5.75 inch the F16 has an Advanced Threat Display instead of separate RWR and launch indicator panel. The A10 C has the EWPI (CMSC) mounted above the ADI . Used with a RWR and IP 1310 /ALR

146,05mm being the metric equivalent of 5.75 inches the max width on a control panel back plate for the left and right consoles. It may not apply to CMSP (EWIP) the center of the MIP that is not that wide....

Putting A-10 ejection handles on a F-16 style ACES II does not make it for an A-10.:doh:

Your extremely lucky to have some one with access to an A-10C giving you the information for free!!! Not every one has had that.... Just remember that your dealing with just the out side measurements at this time and there can be an acceptable amount of +/- in the parts some of your measurements are over 1mm different than my parts. So any one using your out lines will still need to pay attention to the placement of the interior components. @ Brixmis thanks for the clarification I would have never guessed.

your welcome hope you find the part.

The Third switch label obviously should be RWR . (There are many examples of the EWMU/CMSP on line) Yes The JTSN switch has an off label. In some picture on the web it is covered by the switch being in the off position. I would love to see your examples . The panel I have happens to be a photo etch panel and is labeled serial #1 so it would be reasonable that all of the panels have an off label. The switch is not momentary it is a JTSN switch 8856K7 MS21027C231 That means it is locked in the off position. It must be pulled out to move to the JTSN position. It must be pushed back in to the off position It is not locked in the JTSN position. You can find a fairly complete listing of left and right console switches in my build thread if you can find it just PM me and I will re post it in my build thread.

What are you building? if it is not an A-10 you probably going to find real parts cheaper than the simulator parts that are currently being sold.

Get a hold of Red dog over at VP I think he had a supply of cougar parts and a list of the parts nomenclature

What masses? there may be 25 guys building A-10C cockpits.

That may depend on how the curves and dead zone are set on each person's stick. I had my cougar set up fairly close to what the video shows. I disagree with simmers that say set the stick up with what fees comfortable to you.I think one should set it up with what reflect the actual response of the Aircraft. Then learn to effectively employ good technique.

Pay attention to the grip location and the amount of movement compared to what the Aircraft does. amazingly the YouTube link works :thumbup:

HI it may be better if you start a new thread selling your product in the for sale area pictures help a lot as well http://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=144

A. AFAIK DCS has not released cockpit models The P51 for DCS was made with access to an actual P51 aircraft so it would make scene that the cockpit lay out would possibly be more accurate in DCS. With the possibility of you using a vr system in the future I would plan and budget for that goal. For the pit several members are building replicas of the P51 cockpit go with a 1:1replica and I am sure you will be please and ready to fulfill your vision of the perfect cockpit for you. As for B ya all kinds of stuff it is a learning experience

Here is one more

Just found this

Lars just opened your AUX LTS and SAS panel in my DXF viewer and its width is showing up at144.45 inches you might want to check it

A bit of reverse engineering It would be nice to know the real Mic switch and SOI (coolie hat) switch part number but I have found some close replacements. So is it *Nice* or ...?

Rightsuff no problem

Thanks Hans!! I don't own a TM WH so I can't really make a thingie to fix the messed up slew. Another member had posted he would be making them at a reasonable price in large quantities. So I am not interested in making parts for the TM.
