:thumbup: I am onboard !

Yes ! Very nice !! :thumbup:

Off Topic, but: How about a landing gear panel ? :) Cheers Tom

Late christmas present .... today arrived all the handles :thumbup: I will make the sets over the weekend and will ship all payed sets next week ! Would be nice to hear from jander, dachs and sabre-tla The sets for Madsen, Linden and Gill are sent out ! Cheers Tom

Ich denke euch reizen die Teile da man sie "wegfalten" kann. Vom Preis her baut ihr für das geld schon ein richtig gutes SimPit. Leider nimmt so ein Trümmer Platz weg. Sollte im Keller noch ne Ecke frei sein ... SimPit und das Geld für Hardware besser anlegen. Gruss Tom

Have a look in my footer, there are pics from my simpit with 3 monitors and a touchscreen using helios. My problem was ... with softTH less frames and the old GPU was to slow. So I send the monitors back, the middle one was doing fine but the outsides were too slow. Now I have a 680 but no more the 3 monitors and will restart with a LED TV in 40". Cheers Tom BTW: As gadroc says ... Helios is great to operate the A-10 without keyboard ! I fly the Mustang on 2 screens without Helios and it is not so easy to operate as with Helios.

Hi all The aluminium profiles are cut, weldet, glued and painted :thumbup: The LED´s are soldered, ready for 5 Volt usage and tested :thumbup: The knobs will arrive in the second week in January :thumbup: 1 jasegill, unmounted, paid in full,send out ! 2 grayson, full assembled, paid in full, send out ! 3 jimbo, full assembled, glue, paid in full, send out ! 4 linden, unassembled, paid in full, send out ! 5 mtfdarkeagle, full assembled, glue, phidgets, paid in full, send out ! 6 jander, 7 hma, unassembled, paid in full, send out ! 8 kubi, full assembled,glue, paid in full, send out ! 9 dechengst, full assembled, paid in full, send out ! 10 dachs, unassembled,paid in full, send out ! 11 moken, unassembled, 2. knob and LED-set, glue, paid in full, send out ! You will recieve a tracking number by PM ! 12 sabre-tla, full assembled, paid in full, send out ! Info about full assembled: The LED will be brought in position and the whole know will be filled with hot glue and pressed togehter. The black "screwcaps" can be glued to the knob BUT than it would be harder to polish the knob if you want to do so !! After sanding the knob with 1000 sandpaper, 2000 sandpper and polishing it , it becomes a little more transparent (as stated earlier). For the sanding the black "screwcaps" are not very helpfull. So please let me know if I should glue the caps on the knob or if you will do this yourself. On my "betaversion" I glued them with instant glue / super glue and it holds perfect for weeks now. I can also add a small tube of superglue for you :thumbup: PM´s are out for you ! Happy new year to you all !! Tom PS: The large handle on the pic is a "special version" for MTFDarkEagle. All others are based on the original meassurements from Gadrocs file. This topic will be updated for order and payment list !

Thank you .. ordered :) As I understood you, the monitors will be connected directly to the pc and the exports will be exported to this area than. Maybe you can show us your monitor.lua ....

Only Gadroc nows ...... and, sure, my glassbowl ...

Will fit a 4,3 Zoll display also ?! They are easier to get within Germany. The other display you write/advise about is no longer available. Thanks for the second run !! Tom

It is and it was very helpfull for me to get configfiles "ready to use" while setting up my simpit. So far it is not complete nor running perfect, but I would like to share my files. Maybe some people will find it usefull. My pc specs are listed in my footers spoiler. I use a simpit with one 27" monitor and a 24" touchscreen for HELIOS. My stick is a HOTAS Warthog and several panels running more or less. A caution panel is working with a phidgets 64 LED driver. I also use 2 x Brydlings B256A13 and a Leo Bodnar BBI-32. As a buttkicker I have the IVIBE Tactile Force Feedbacjk System3. Button Box Interface http://www.leobodnar.com/products/BBI-32/ B256A13 http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=78955 Phidgets LED 64 Advanced http://www.phidgets.com/products.php?product_id=1031 IVIBE http://www.phidgets.com/products.php?product_id=1031 I fly mostly A-10 but started this days also to hang around in the shark. Therefor PeterP has a very helpfull tool which is installed on my system: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1541311&postcount=68 My profiles for Helios are from Gadrock´s site http://www.gadrocsworkshop.com/ Its a modiefied LOZ SM 2.1 and for the shark a modified DDBrico KA-50 profile. The TrackIR file in the package is my allrounder for DCSW. I dont like to view 360 Grad while looking over my shoulder, therefor its smooth and goes only to the seat, not around. Maybe this is helpfull for some of you. I like also tipps and hints what is not so perfect. Points to do: Setting up the HOTAS for the KA-50. HELIOS reacts for some reason very slow with a delay between input and reaction of the sim. TomDK_my_setup.zip

*IF* the two wanted bindings are not available to "click" under options and you are (like me) not able to lua-script than helios is a way to bind them .. therefor you should use helios. *IF* you are able to add the 2 commands to the .lua and you can do so, you do not need helios. It´s quite easy for my understanding. No one will force you to use helios, but this seems to be the easiest way to bind your 2 missing commands to your controller. Maybe someone would be so nice and write the .lua for you ...

Nope ... I would like to see a export for the shark, A-10, IVIBE and different helios profiles. :cry:

BTW would someone be so kind and upload a export.lua with all Shark exports active ?! I have a HELIOS profile working that the knobs works, but the instruments show nothing :cry: Thank you ...

You mean its kind of a bug in IVIBE ? With the A-10 , IVIBE and Helios everythig wolrs. What is the big difference between Shark in DCSW and A-10 ? Thanks Tom

Du wirst an den englischen Foren nicht vorbeikommen. Gruss Tom

Time to bring this thread up again. :) I tried this mod, to make one monitor.lua and one export.lua for A-10 and KA-50: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1541311&postcount=68 It works well, but you have also to use a "KA-50 and A-10 export.exe". This export does not support IVIBE nor HELIOS. :( After trying several hours I got back to noemal "IVIBE and HELIOS" setup. For A-10 it works, but for the shark I get only A-10 to work with IVIBE and HELIOS. For any reason, the shark works only with Helios or with IVIBE :( Any idea for me ? Attached you will find a zip-file with my 3 different export.lua ´s Cheers Tom Maybe someone can make a exports for helios, ivibe, shark and A-10 :thumbup::music_whistling: ivibe-expots.zip

Pictures !!!!

Looks good !! The phidgets is perfect ! I have Lindens caution panel already working and it is around 16 connectors free for other lamps. i have so far attached the gear indicator with 3 green LEDs and the gearknob on one connection with 3 red LEDs. I have made the aluminium handles over the christmas days, for you I made a longer version extra so you can try which fits best for you. Due the aluminium handles looks very handcrafted ( I am not a handcraftsman .. (more communication ectronics :)) they are not perfect so I try to get professionell welded ones but waiting for an answer. Most firms do not like orders about 10 oieces and have also look if the price still fits my offer. Keep on working ! Looks great. Tom

Mods please delete.

Okay .. after this nice christmas offer I bought the KA-50 and started a little flying around. Very nice .... but: I found within the forums this great export.lua which can handle A-10 and KA-50. Due I use a TFS3 I have to use a .lua modded by an other user here in the forums who integrated TFS3 support. I know absolutely nothing about lua-script, therefor would any of you Sirs be willing to wrote me a "A-10C, KA-50 and TFS3" - LUA ?! I attache my lua- files. Thank you for your support. Export a10 und ka50.lua Export IVIBE.lua

Great !!!!! Cheers Tom

My trick worked :megalol: IE "InPrivateBrowser" , new session and it works because all coocies will be ignored. Bought the Shark .... hopefully it is not too hard to setup with TM HOTAS. Cheers Tom

Tried this night to buy BS2 with no luck. I was altready logged in but while checking out with my basket the website asked again to log in .. with no effort. Will try it today again and looking forward, like Humvee, to get the Shark in the air with TM HOTAS.

Yes ... the beast arrived today. I had to kick out the cages for 3,5" HDD to have space for this 3 slot monster. Its running like hell, nearly no noise but ... still blue screens on every second win start. I will see to check out all mother board drivers. Running DCSW in highest settings with approx. 40 - 50 fps ... great.
