  1. My key seems to have worked on Steam. Nice. Now Steam will keep everything up to date.
  2. So, is anything lost by going with the Steam version vs the non-Steam version?
  3. But, that is what is so great about a sim, missions can be simulated, so we can experience what might have been possible.
  4. LOL. I meant the AH-64. Dang fingers.
  5. AH-54 of any kind. Followed by a UH-60 and AH-1. Others I'd like to see are the RAH-66 and CH-53.
  6. I'd like any of the F/A-18 C and up. I know that the newer the aircraft the harder it is to get the info needed to make the sim accurate. So, I'm not expecting the E or F to be made by DCS. And even if it is made by a 3rd party (Coretex Designs), I'd be surprised if it was a Study sim. Now that DCS has the UH-1H and Mi-8M I'm hoping we see some two seat air craft like the AH-64 and F/A-18D or F made by DCS. Maybe that was why we only got single seat aircraft before. Plus, they'd have to model carrier landing accurately. I miss the manual carrier landings from Jane's F/A-18. The F-16 followed by the F-22 would be my next choices.
  7. LOL. Yeah, she reminds me of Lora from TRON. Very intelligent.
  8. Guys, I hear a lot of misconseptions in this thread from those with an uncertain view of the product. I found this interview from their company's website. The interview answers all your questions in addition to giving some insight as to where the products going in the near future. In the interview, they say that airlines are contacting them because, currently, they are using expensive projectors to train pilots. They are now interested in CastAR because it will save them lots of money eliminating that expense. For anyone who interacts with a functional sim cockpit, this is, with out a doubt, the way to go. The material used to send the light back to your eyes is the same stuff used on road signs and is extremely cheap. In addition, there is a paint that does the same exact thing, allowing for domed surfaces. They said in the future, it will be capable of UltraHD and the images will continue to get brighter. But, if your in a domed canopy, light is not going to be an issue anyway. I've been following Jeri Ellsworth for some time, she's brilliant. Here's the interview. It's well worth watching the whole show. http://twit.tv/show/triangulation/124
  9. I just saw Jeri's vid on youtube and came strait here to see if anyone else had seen this. The potential to have 3D wrap around and still interact with a cockpit has to be
  10. Alright, now you've got my attention. I'm wanting to build one of these and will be taking notes. The more details on this the better.
  11. I found that post earlier using the search feature. That was very useful. And I've read through your thread. Awesome work! Your like the Yoda of the Home Cockpit forums. :D I was just hoping for more details. For instance, what are the MFCD buttons made of? Are they rubber, like on a tv remote, or plastic? Does the ADJ button pivot in the middle? What kind of switch is under the buttons, etc? But, I guess, I'll just have experiment with different techniques to find one I'm happy with. It would be great if there was a sticky post that contained all of the known info listed and sorted by panel/category. Maybe even have links to the specific posts were the info was first revealed. BYOAC is a site that has a nice layout for people new to building an arcade. The before you post section has links to commonly asked questions and help newbies get their feet wet before jumping into the pool. Something like this might help repeat questions from being asked.
  12. Dropship Pilot gave me a link, in another thread I started, to a pdf with some decent measurements of the MFCDs. I was hoping that maybe there was a way to find out more detailed specs for the MFCDs and all the other panels from a place like everyspec.com. MFCD is just an example of what I'm looking for, but I am also looking for more detailed measurements for each panel. But, I guess anything more detailed than that would not be in any files available to the public. I figured if there was a list of all the mil-spec numbers for all the panels on the A-10c I could do more of my own research and less asking.
  13. I've found mil-spec numbers for many different parts here in the forums, but I'm not sure how to find numbers for each individual panel. In particular, the MFCDs. I'm thinking of making some from scratch but, I'm not sure what the exact measurements are. Are there mil-spec numbers for each panel in their entirety in the A-10c or do they just use numbers for all the individual parts that make up the panels?
  14. Does anyone know of any information on the dimensions of the A-10c MFCDs? I've looked everywhere for some detailed info, but seem to be failing. Also, links on any tutorials on how to build one would be great, if such a tutorial exists. I know the TM MFCDs are smaller than the real thing.
  15. Wow! That was a lot of reading. I read from the first post all the way through to the current one. This is some amazing work y2kiah! Are there any plans to release the files for the left and right side control panels, soon? Like what Reactorone did, with each of the panels broken up into three parts. I want to start on some of the side panels but I know that Reactorone's design wouldn't work with your sim.
  16. Any plans on selling a second "wave" of these in the future? Looks like I joined the forums a few months too late.
  17. It was a question regarding the switch sizes, but I realized I was just mixing up the part numbers you posted earlier in this thread. Thanks for all the info you post in these forums. Amazing stuff.
  18. I was doing a search on the web for this x45 mod that was being sold. Through this thread I was able to find it. But, I've sent an email using the email address on this page http://www.repulonap.hu/redhunters/templates/images/x45upgrade/x45_upgrade_eng.pdf but haven't got a response. Has anyone used this mod? And if so, how did it work? Also, does anyone know if his email has changed? I'm interested in this mod if I can get it.
