Great News. Thanks Cheers Hans

:thumbup: PM inbound Sir Cheers Hans

Pardon my ignorance but is it that far off? The picture from The Simulationstore is just shy of 1", appears to be 15/16"about 24mm In your printed version look like about 20mm I would try and print i 402% and see if that got it closer. And good luck with your build Mr_Burns Cheers Hans

Sweeeet Not wired up yet and the two Thrustmaster hat switches (radio and coolie hat) are not fully inserted yet. Needs final adjustment and check of the slew sensor (original). I am anxiously awaiting the controller board Gadroc is making which will include amplifyer for the slew sensor (https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2992649&postcount=336). Man I can wait till getting this baby hooked up :cry: The left side head is the original one from the A-model just sanded and painted flat black. The right hand side was done by Gadroc :thumbup: Excellent quality and parts fits in like a glove. Many thanks for for making this possible Sir. Just got some primer and some flat black paint with an airbrush. The boat switch may be a little too big but I they where in a bundle of switches I bought last year. They were (on)-off-(on) but Deadman knew how to modify them into on-off-on. Thanks for the assistance Sir. Rest of the switches are from the original A-model, just cleaned. Cheers Hans

Very nice Sir :thumbup: Thank you very much for sharing your great work. Looks very interesting especially the support new moduls and well as for future ones. From looks of the screenshot it appears that the CDU is not done via Viewport but by exporting the data? Again this looks very good and a very nice Christmas present :thumbup: I kindly suggest Admit to make this a Sticky Cheers Hans oh and rep inbound :smilewink:

Very nice update indeed Sir. Count me in for one. I have a throttle which craves for being hooked up :-) Cheers Hans Rep inbound

Any potentiometer 1-10kohm should do just fine. I will use these; http://www.mouser.dk/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=3852A-282-502ALvirtualkey65210000virtualkey652-3852A-282-502AL But that was more because I was trying to find some which had a thread size that fitted best in the original back plate I have. If you make your own back plate you wouldn't have this problem. Cheers Hans

Hmm sound odd when it's only the A-10C. I would try do a repair of DCS and see if the problem persists. Cheers Hans

Yes the A-10C radar altimeter only reads up to 5000ft AGL The radar altimeter is to assist you when you are close to the ground but once you are in higher altitudes there shouldn't be a need for knowing the altitude in AGL. Is there any specific reason why you need your altitude in AGL when flying at 12,000ft? I mean if you are trying to maintain a specific AGL troughout then you'd be going up and down all the time depending on the terrain. Cheers Hans

Very nice of you to share John :thumbup: I have a simulator ADI which I hope will be just slightly less complicated that what you have achieved. Really looking forward to see you get it all working :thumbup: And thanks for all the photos and explanation. This Christmas present is very much appreciated. And a Merry Christmas back to you :smilewink: Cheers Hans

Yep agree it is possible. This is a version I did some time back which are rotated 180degree; https://www.dropbox.com/s/m929lozibsdhgkc/Inverted%20MFD%20mod.rar?dl=0 You do have to exchange the modded one with the original one. I use JSGME (https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=98607) to do this. Cheers Hans

Sure thing Gus; http://www.viperpits.org/smf/index.php/topic,9418.0.html It would be great if it was possible to do DIY for about $200. I'd definitly be interested @Warhog :thumbup: Cheers Hans

Pegasus over at Viperpits has done one for their community but I don't think it will work for DCS. As far as I understand that system gets the information from BMS' shared memory whereas what we need is something for a video signal. Cheers Hans

Thanks for making this available to us JShep. You have an excellent reputation over at Viperpits community. For those interested here is the suggested list by JShep for the A-10C; http://psfalcon.blogspot.it/2014/11/pscockpit-a10c-distribution-file.html Took the liberty to qoute the price list from VP as some may not have access This can be a very alternative for the home cockpit builder who doesn't have time/energi to start with DCS-BIOS. Ian had some very good point for some of the cons and pros of PSCockpit vs. DCS-BIOS a while back; Again thank you very much JShep for offering this to DCS community. Much appreciated. Rep inbound. Cheers Hans

Did you get a Taig milling machine? Warhog will definitly appreciated this. Congratulations on your purchase Calum :thumbup: Cheers Hans

Great idea Gus. Thanks for sharing :thumbup: Cheers Hans

Very nice job gentlemen :thumbup: Cheers Hans

Very nice turtorial Supanova :thumbup: Very clear and precise and in a good pace that allows the viewer to follow each step. Oustanding job Sir. Cheers Hans

Must have overlooked that infomation but new ones ordered. Cheer Hans

Yes I didn't do anything to the diff.lua. I only installed my version of the default.lua and the mapped the switches in game control setup. LOL yeah it's the Steff Houlberg one by the elevators :thumbup: My old gas engineer and I used go by there when we returned from sea. A hotdog and a beer then we were ready for the train ride back home :-D Cheers Hans

That is a bit strange hansagb, I am running 1.5.5 and that is working. The d1374 doesn't look like it fits in. This is the mentioned line in my defualt. luse (same as yours); {down = 3001, up = 3001, cockpit_device_id = 7, value_down = 0.2, value_up = 0.1, name = "Master switch ARM", category = "Armament HUD Control Panel"}, {down = 3001, up = 3001, cockpit_device_id = 7, value_down = 0, value_up = 0.1, name = "Master switch TRAIN", category = "Armament HUD Control Panel"}, And is my diff.lua; In mine you can recognize the syntax(?) of the defualt.lua if you look closely. Can you confirm that the diff.lua you posted is after after you changed the default.lua code? Cheers Hans

132nd Entropy (FL) & Hansolo (WM) signing up for A-10C. Wehave posted on you forum

The reason for leading zero is because E/W coordinates can reach 180º whereas N/S can on reach 90º. So to keep the format standard E/W needs always three digits; Nellis W115º Tblisi-Lochini E044º Your coordinates for easting is 037º 35' 20" in degree/minutes/seconds that would be 037º 35.333 in lat/long decimals. The easiest way to get the calculation right is to set you ME map for Lat Long Decimal. It's in the Options - Mics menu Hope this helps Cheers Hans
