Hi again ... Yes, you are right with all points you state ! Your pit is becoming a perfect copy .... that costs. I realized that this will be my second expensive hobby beside pinball machines :) I just ordered panels from linden, than you came with a second order for knobs ... but I am sure if all is payed a long time no parts will come, but if parts will show up .. all to the same time :) Having the parts and the real work will start .. bringing them together and connect them to the A-10. That means the knobs will be a looong time in the corner until the panels will follow.

@whiggy: I use a ATI card ... :) @HiJack: Yes, we used Hamachi and it worked great with the old version. We flew last before DCSW , therefor no knowlede if it works with world. Also TARS was working fine for us. Sunday night we will try it. Cheers Tom

ED does not program simulations to make a small community of online-nerds happy. They try to make money with the software, pay the rent for the flat and some foot, send the kids to a college and so on. Its better and easier to sell the programm to thousands of normal user which use only singleplayer, detect that the sim is too complicated and throw it away. This folks payed also 40 bucks and they never hear from them ... The onlinegamers love the product, understand it and want to use it in all details ... but its only a hand full compared to the thousands just taking a brief look. So a patch will not bring money, only stop some rumors and bad posts in the forums. A new add-on, a new sim .. thats what brings the money. I accept this, trying everyday MP until it crasehes and fly some singleuser missions. There is also a way to fly multiplayer over a "lan emulator over internet" ... we will try this next days. Maybe this is a solutuion for virtual wings. Cheers Tom

IMHO it makes sense to offer full working panels. Your example is quite cheap and fair: panel, laser cut = 50 dollar all needet working switches = ? 40 dollar ? knobe like original = ? 30 dollar ? So its quite fair ... plus your work. I have a friend with a laser CNC. He made 2 panels for me. Problem is, it is much work to bring the panels in a vector layout to laser them. I payed him around 30 dollar a panel. Thats quite fair. ordering the switches, soldering everything ... I checked the net for "ready to use" - parts for a homecockpit for A-10. there are no usable offers. So the market is yours :thumbup:
-
I would like to see "ready to connect panels". Specially the ones who are not easie to make. F. eks. a working radio. Many panels are possible to make on a simple, but ugly, way. Buying some switches and a joystickcard from brydling .. here we go. Other panels are too complicated to get the parts from electronic stores. here it would be great to get them from a pro likeyou. I think ist also easier doing for you to buy material for 10 peaces and mount one after the other. Also a payable ejection seat setz would be great. But heavy shipping costs ... Let see what you are planning to do next. :thumbup:

My "low budget hardware UFC" is ready and useable. Now I am asking if there is a way to remove the UFC from the mainmonitor ?! It looks stupid that my hardware UFC is in front of the UFC on the mainmonitor. Any solution ? Thanks Tom .. panel by panel ...:thumbup:
-
Just send me 7,55 dollar back and we got it :lol: No, If I am in need, I will come back to you. I just measured out that the whole row is linked/connected on the pcb. Meanwhile I am an pro in reflashing the card and mostly that helps. The card dont like connectors put in while in Helios. Therefor I fu*'Ä*' something up. Now my UFC is working with the fuelpanel and more panels are to come. Have a nice move ! From my days in Denmark I know that you do not have a kind of tax for buying a house as we have in germany. So buying a house is not a decision for live. Cheers Tom

Is this solution only for the case that the crash occurs while lohgging to the masterserver/ getting the server list or also for those who crashes between 5 and 30 minutes after departure/flight ?
-
Thank you, everything is working well. I just let out the first row over the Commons. There is the hack :) I have my UFC now up and running, only the cover is missing, but at least all functions are available. All the ebst to you Brydling, it seems that moving is your second hobby beside sims ;) Cheers Tom
-
Thanks, will try it with firewall disabled tonight !!

In the MP-Server list the colum for "ping" is empty. Just a small issue, but would be nice to knwo which server is best reachable to me due my DCSW crashes on nearly every MP-session after beeing airborne for some minutes. Bug or bad latency due I have only 1M/Bit downstraem.
-
Same for me ... crash, crash, crash. After couple of minutes in the air whole DCSW crashes to the desktop. Thought maybe my Helios setup is guilty, tried singleplayer and everything is fine. So far I bought all programms just to support, never flew the Mustand really and never touched a vehicle ... but now I will wait until the A-10 is nearly bugfree. It seems that ED is releasing and releasing ... getting money and forget to deliver a working product. Lets call it a banana software ... :( No fun at this time.

Great .. but your seatbelt was not fastened in the video ;-)
-
Thank you for the answer !! Great, so I can use this 6 buttons for something else. :thumbup:
-
Okay ... after reflashing the board again it works. I figured out that the fifth row (I1 17 33 49 113 97 81 65) are crossconnected. :cry: Pls. Brydling let me know, is this a feature or a bug ?! Its going on :thumbup:
-
Am I right, that on the UFC the following switches are unused: MALF UPD FW MID AFT 3 x unlabeled Is this right ?! I am building my "simple UFC" and try to get it on one connector on Brydlings board. Cheers Tom
-
Mange Tak Hans :) I will give it a try, first I isolated all cables a little better. Also strange, my first (fuel-) panel is also flickering if the second plug is plugged in. What will happen if all plugs are plugged in :helpsmilie: Cheers Tom
-
Thank you ! Needs a little redrawing but fine ! Cheers Tom
-
Hi I need a useable picture from the fuseboard for my simpit. If someone could provide it ?! :thumbup: Cheers Tom

Slight problem .... I connected a selfmade UFC to the B256A13 card. It is plugged into the second row I33 to I64 and using Common on C4. From 30 used switches I have 3 strange reactions: "Steer Up" pushes 49 and 65 "SEL -" pushes also 49 and 65 "Function" and "LTR" push both 64 The strange thing is that input 65 is on the 4th row :helpsmilie:.. it is not connected. I checked my wiring .. looks good. Diodes are okay. Any idea what is going wrong ??

Yesterday night while in a MP session. Connection aborted, than only 4 server in the serverlist. Reboot and everything was fine, joined a MP session and after 10 minutes DCS was frozen and crashed with a alert windows "This programm react no more". Maybe is my DSL 1000 internet connection ... too slow for a MP session with more than 3 users ?! I have no idea what is going wrong, but it mkes no fun always starting up the A-10 and than something happens ... Cheers Tom
-
Mhh .... right now I have also this problem. After connecting to the server the application crashes. Will try it later .. worked for me fine for weeks. Cheers Tom

Hast Du ein Ticket aufgemacht ? Das muss doch irgendwie gehen, auch unter 32bit ... sonst stände doch unter Systemvorrussetzungen das es ein 64 bit System sein muss. Ich würde mich auch ärgern .... Notfalls Win7 holen ... die SIM ist es wert. kann aber deinen Frust verstehen ...
-
Oh yes, I remember when I started with Helios .... two programmers from my work and me in the middle of my old laptop trying to bind keyboard commands to a pop-up-menu in the sim. At least it worked, two weeks later I tried to add an other command and was starting .. from the scratch. If it runs .. great !! But no easy way to success. Now I havent touched my profile for weeks. last big task was to add TFS3 support. Good that you figured it out !
