I've seen it in person. It is a nicely done item. I was considering it back when it was about 4500$ before freight. was a bit spendy for my wallet back then. But now? I'm not even sure who is the target customer for this. Unrealistic IMO. But the manufacturer/seller is entitled to ask whatever he feels like asking. With custom sewn sheepskin cover:

Ken, it's a very nice pit on your side as well. congrats. By the time one thing is done, something else comes up, LOL. I'm just going with it, trying to enjoy the process. Indeed, it is Immersive Display Pro. Overall, the picture is great. But I can't help but want more pixels - 1080p after the curve-trimmed ends is not as clear as on a normal monitor. I'm considering updating my projectors to BenQ X500i. but then running at double 4K will probably be to much for my GPU... decisions decisions

What happened to the Tornado?! It is great to see you are building again

6 years ?! yeah, you probably aren't going to be impressed at all with my speed then I'm at 10+ for my 3rd iteration and still a lot of things I want to build and rebuild. Enjoy the process, learn new stuff and hold yourself to your own best standards. cheers!

EDIT: https://tekcreations.space/product/a10-warthog-cdu/?srsltid=AfmBOoqkChVB7Yi5ZadozjC8Ppmf_wUF3qcKwBre-iQZFJp7l3NH3Reg Looks like Tek is now making a CDU device. Personally I find his products lacking (no offense, man), but it is a physical device. In the meantime, I'm using DCS UFC (which is now DCS UFX X) software on a tablet. It is usable, although the font started to flicker some versions back.

some serious dedication. What do you plan for visuals for your sim?

Hello fellow pilots. I ran my cockpit on a slightly overclocked 12700K, DDR4 board, cooled by 280 AIO. 3080ti drives pair of 1080p projectors + an instrument screen. I am happy with the setup and the performance, at the end of the day it all maxes out at 60 FPS / 60hz refresh rate of the projectors (I do run vsync on) on highest settings. no dips even on servers like Through The Inferno . The board, however, can use 14th gen CPU, and my Microcenter lists a 14900K for a very reasonable price. I know these run hotter and pull more W, I think my PSU (, enclosure and cooler can deal with it. additional consideration: in the future I am considering upgrading to 4K projectors (benq x500i) and either 5080/90, Question: What am I really getting by upgrading? one side of me thinks "I'm leaving performance on the table". on the other hand I suspect all this upgrade will achieve is leaving me 350$ lighter. I was briefly considering switching to 9800x3d, but held off. thanks!

I guess pricing is communicated in PM only? What is the Price? Will I need to get anything else to assemble a fully functional joystick?

I wonder if going from 12700k to a 9800x3d would be an upgrade. Opinions?

Yep. Judging by the radios looks like the Swiss version. I was working on these radios, but then the direction got changed

Taking shape

Remember 1 year ago.. whaaa? I can barely remember 1 week ago. How about a picture of your entire sim workstation?

No. Shoddy practices by Moza the company is totally on topic when discussing their product. And IMO way more important then any kind of functionality quirks. Theft of code allegations look very plausible. very sad to see people defending this kind of practice.

The one thing Moza sure knows how to do great: shmooze Ytubers for good reviews.

Not sure what you are talking about man. Lathe is actually a really great thing for marriage

Moza might have experience with racing , and their stuff is okay when it works. but they don't give a <profanity> when their finicky equipment becomes a paperweight after firmware update. Since they wouldn't fix the wheel under warranty I opened it up. Couldn't find a replacement for the failed comms chip... Sad. Oh well, I moved on. I do want a FFB base for my sim, but I'm not holding my breath for Moza and certainly not preordering. Will wait to see if it makes to a shelf at Microcenter, maybe then I will try it.

we do have a bunch of strange airframes in this game, such as Christen Eagle, yak52, viggen etc. In my opinion, KA50 is one of these. I do not mind having them in game, whoever flies them please continue having fun by all means (we don't have slots for them on our server ). Unless you are for some reason a fan of that particular airframe I don't see why it is "Hands-down" build for a dedicated pit. 10 years back, when KA was the only helo module, sure. but now I'd say Huey or Apachie is much more of a "Hands-down" choice if we are talking rotary.

good luck with your project. choosing an airframe can indeed be daunting. I think my build answers a lot of your asks. Since you insist on playing alone then F-16 or F-18 could be a good match since they are somewhat simpler then A-10 from the standpoint of panels. With that I'd suggest not focusing solely on ease of build (all will be complex enough) but rather on what kind of missions you want to run. do you want to launch from carrier? Then it's the Hornet. Do you want to be a ballerina? Then it's the Viper. Harrier can be a good candidate too. russian and French stuff has perhaps a simpler cockpit, but of no interest to me. I own all the F planes DCS has to offer and some helos. I can fly them reasonably ok from my pit (built custom profiles to fit through my instrument panel). with that I'm not regretting building an A-10-focused pit one bit. I dont want to have to switch between views while flying, not wanting to have to pull up a command screen while on a mission. - that one is unfortunately not possible. at the very least you will need to get to rearm screen and that is done via the ingame F menu. you can somewhat workaround with voice plugin such as VIACOM , that has it's own complications. the server of our v-squadron runs missions that require the use of the in-game F menu to trigger target areas and such. and whichever aircraft I choose I want to have plenty of missions and chances to play and fly. - that one will not be a problem once you get there I highly recommend joining some sort of virtual squadron. it's super fun it and it helped me immensely to understand what devices in the pit should be focused on.

If immersive LCD is anything like immersive display (their other software) then you should be able to exclude your instrument display from the profile. I'm merging and curving two projectors, but not the instrument display

SOCAT is the utility that presents the COM port your master board is on to the DCS-BIOS plugin. How are you connecting your devices without it? Are you using the old HUB version?

I didn't do any new devices recently but when I was debugging my pit I do not remember constantly restarting DCS. I was restarting the SOCAT though

I'd say OLED is the go to. Make sure you build your device with maintenance and replacements in mind because in my experience these OLED screens will burn in and loose brightness quite a bit. If budget is not an issue and you are willing to put work into more complicated device you can go for the original led matrix displays. If you can pull it off you will really like the end result. https://media.fotki.com/2v2aByj2rxUHnUD.jpg

What kind of sketches are you writing? If it is purely HID , then I'd say unplug, replug the device and then scan for new devices in the input binding menu. If you are making DCS-BIOS sketches I think restarting the mission will be sufficient.

Thrustmaster makes ok equipment. Their base was a very good product for the time, way ahead of Logitech and saitek. It is still a good base today, but we do have virpil/vkb that are simply superb. For grip thrustmaster is still unsurpassed, still pretty much the only choice for 1:1 warthog/viper and hornet/eagle - nice metal grip with a solid feel. I am feeling tempted to try the winwing F16+ext grip, could use those extra buttons . Virpil and vkb grips are still very usable, but to me they felt like a baby rattle after the TM stuff. I did try older models, so maybe things improved with the latest offerings. That said virpil Apachie collective feels like standard plastic-fantastic to me (not sure why I chose to preorder one). My 0.02 worth. Good luck

it is a good price if you ask me. I think this forum is a very narrow platform though: at the time of writing the thread got under 250 views, and that includes all the times you looked at it as well. also, no pictures... you are a veteran here so I don't doubt you have possession of the actual item. but in many forums pictures are mandatory when listing to confirm exactly that. when all fails you can eBay (yes, the fees suck...) I see an auction for 16EX shaker there, will give you an idea of price when it ends in 3 days, https://www.ebay.com/itm/266710547578?itmmeta=01HRSGWWYQQSN1WVHB369Y2589 (he also listed a throttle) I was playing with the idea of getting WW joystick with the 16EX grip. let me know if you are considering selling just the joy separately. I don't mean to squeeze you during hurting times but i just don't have a need for another throttle, I already have a spare sitting on shelf for few years now...
