Those are analog arc164 panels I got from eBay for purpose of converting to the newer ones. Came out something like this. I still need to complete the electronics.

@Adrian858This part came out good, you have a nice pit going. Congrats! @lesthegrngo no misfortune there bud! You made the right choice

Thank you for the warm wishes. I will get back up again. huh, 6 years? my first posts of military pit efforts as crude as they were indicate 2011 That's when I scrapped my crude civilian flight setup (made attempts to fly FS9 B767 by level-D in vatsim) and transitioned to the "rise of flight" and DCS. in case you are curious here is the links to the build albums: regardless, the printed panels didn't satisfy me for very long I purchased my first K40 laser in 2012 and upgraded to the bigger machine in 2015. That's when I started building this iteration of the pit. lots of lessons learned of how NOT to do things. screenshot from Saturday training with https://www.vcentcom.net/ (plug for my amazing V squadron ). Escorting the F-16s home. Someone had to protect them from all the tanks lurking on the ground I'm the leftmost ship.

I'm not aware of any projectors that will do curving and blending out of the box. You will need to use some sort of curving/blending software, https://fly.elise-ng.net/immersive-display-pro/ is very commonly used for this purpose. You are asking a very good question about focus. My screen has an unusually aggressive curve in order to fit the limited space. this means more deviation from the focus plane than others (ie. "The Warthog Project" setup). Still I do have a very good picture with Benq 1085ST projectors. With 135 degrees of FOV your curve be milder so I don't think you will experience issues with focus. Eventually, I want to move to dual 4K projection, probably with Benq TK700STi. null

Hi Bucic, my biggest effort right now is trying to put myself back together. this spring-summer was a very strange time in my life. I didn't turn on the flight PC for about 4 months. I think I'm over myself and slowly getting back, even flew a training session with my virtual squadron As for the project I can share this little bit:

Oh man, this is sad to hear. I'm not sure what the deal was with that partnership, but it honestly seems like you ground yourself out with this project. I lost a few hobbies doing this, so now I'm trying to go slower. Best of luck with whatever you are taking on next. I don't think you will be able to keep those levels of creativity at bay for long time

this looks good

lots of tutorials on this board. I'd say stop by the pit builder section and do some reading: https://forum.dcs.world/forum/181-home-cockpits/ It's not going to be a waste of your time. As MAX said, Helios (https://github.com/HeliosVirtualCockpit) is not required to export screens, but it makes the process of configuring the export so much easier.

yes, with older modules you can have MFCDs exported to different monitors. coupled with Helios you can make your second monitor into a functioning MIP. as of now, export is not implemented on the F-15E. I hope it is going to get added ASAP

I hope this is added soon. much needed

hmmm... yes. it's been 2 months since the preorder started. and yet it's not here. "alarm bells are ringing, Winston"

This is very sad to hear. I really enjoyed following your journey a lot. Best wishes.

You have as many as you need. As long as I can clearly explain to the owner from what to what I need the measurement to be taken

these are out of actual F-15 I couldn't get a full set so these will be used for measurements and modelling . as soon as fedex finds the shipment ...

looks great! awesome to see that you bothered to do magnetic switches despite the fact you only need to touch them once a flight

Measured from the floor. The tape has both metric and normal units on it for your convenience:)

T-38A. I think it's close enough to your asking. I relayed your question of stick length to the owner. will ping you as soon as. had I seen your request week earlier I would have gotten the measurements first hand... side console is 40" long from porkchop to bulkhead . EDIT: no, they don't come factory equipped with a CDU throttle position

Happens to me as well . When it happens I take it as a sign to clean and re-tin the iron. I do tend to clean regularly during work sessions so usually I can preempt.

What measurements are needed? ..

Good to have you back Gene. I'm gearing up to do the strike eagle variation and your site was very inspiring . Looking forward to see your progress

Just came back from a visit. Year has passed, few direction changes happened. But it looks like we are on the way. Testing the seating and the HUD eyepoint positions.

I obviously cannot know any better then EightyDuce, not even going to argue that. your made it absolutely clear how you personally feel about userbenchmark . with that I failed to understand your take on actual data. is it erroneous? or fraudulent? or irrelevant to DCS? Title of this post asks for a CPU recommendation specifically for purposes of DCS. I might be not the most up-to-date on all the development of things, but I know that DCS still relies heavily on single core. I also know that DCS does not follow precisely the performance trends of general gaming. So far Intel was the CPU of choice because of measurably better single core performance. I see a claim above that it is now AMD that holds the lead in DCS. So i'm naturally curious as to how that claim is substantiated. I have no idea if DCS relies on cash, if that cash indeed helps things in DCS - great.I went a page back in our board, I'm failing to find that substantiation. Can you by a chance point me to a thread that is something a long the lines of "I went from intel xxxx to AMD xxxx and I see better performance" ? I managed to get myself to click on the "gift to gamers" and scroll to his charts ( I have allergy to stupid YT faces). indeed it seems manufacturers are trading blows in games that I do not care about. its great, happy for both, I am a shareholder of both companies. but I missed the part where he compares DCS performance. any chance you can link to a comparison that is relevant to our discussion?

fair enough and I will not argue otherwise. but I was hoping to see some sort of comparison that demonstrates that. I did spend a bit time reading our board and again I'm not finding anything that conclusively suggests AMD is now the CPU of choice for DCS. I'm sorry UserBenchmark pooped in your soup . can you suggest a better comparison?

My work monitor is business grade Dell that runs IPS panel at 60hz (5120x1440). I spend long hours staring at it and I love the sharpness and color. no special eye fatigue. DCS looks great on it as well, although it only used for testing purposes. My main sim uses pair of projectors that are, again, 60Hz and I love the visuals I suspect the quality of panel/monitor is your issue, not 60Hz. It might be how they were set up in store , but EVERY fast "gaming" monitor that I've seen on display has sh...t colors. for me Color > Refresh rate.

here is a quick comparison that I pulled, seems apples to apples. Any chance you can explain what makes 5800x3d the choice for DCS ? to me it looks like intel still retains single core performance lead. am I missing something?
