  1. Absolutely incredible, John! Kudos to you and your work! I'm glad to see you got the MIP off the bench, and now I regret seeing it a couple months early. :D (But definitely do not regret seeing it! ;) ) It'd be a blast flying it now! I'm still working on mine, but thanks to your tutelage and inspiration, getting it done smarter! So thank you! You are truly the master!
  2. Also try LynxDK. He has a bunch of drawings on his site that you can download. http://lynx.dk
  3. That looks incredible! Almost makes me wish I was building an F-18 cockpit!
  4. Fantastic post, John! You're incredible, really! I need to send you an email, so keep a look out.
  5. Nicely done, John! You've been such an inspiration for me, and obviously a lot more people too. Great job as always.
  6. That is too cool for words, Hans. Thank you so much for this! It will really help out a lot. (As all of your posts usually do!)
  7. Hi John! Just saw this post and was wondering if you came up with a solution? I know it's kind of hard when you ask something like "I'm baking an apple pie, does anyone know which apples I should use?" and the responses are "Have you tried oranges? They're the best!" But, what can you do? ;) And really John, you're close to being finished? (Which your work really is fantastic! Thank you, btw, for your help) Holy crap, I can't ever imagine being close to being finished! Even if I get everything done, I'll still be saying to myself that this could be a little better, or maybe I'll remake that... I'm sure you understand :lol: I am, however, really interested in your original question, as I've been thinking that myself. Huge monitor, projector, or three screen. Maybe we can discuss next time on Skype, until then though let me know what you came up with!
  8. Calum, you are a freakin' machine! Fantastic job, man! Can't wait to see what you do with the TACAN. Can I just send you money just so that you can finish faster and post more pictures!? ;) Really though, good show.
  9. Hans, your ability to find this stuff is absolutely incredible! Really jealous. Anyway, glad you found a solution to that. I'm a bit surprised that the switch is weak enough to keep the cover down, though I do know the real aircraft covers like that are pretty stiff. (Especially if they have the hole in the end and the little tab where you place the break-away wire.)
  10. Thank you sir! (Heard you were quite the tutor, now I see why ;) ) Nicely done.
  11. It’s beautiful! Freaking expensive, but what a piece of kit it is! Thought he might be one of ours, then saw some of his other gear and realized probably VP, but I won’t hold it against him. ;) https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F322867535372 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  12. Wow! This looks pretty great Lynx! It's like the Ikea of A-10 Pit Building!:megalol:Seriously though, it's pretty cool. How thick is your main build? Can't wait to see how it looks when it's painted. Also really interested in the keyboard build. Will it just be tucked into a hole that you take out when you need it or like permanently mounted or on a articulating arm? Because my keyboard situation is a nightmare! :D Keep it up and keep them updates coming! Really liking how it's coming along.
  13. Don't know how I missed this one, but fantastic job! Looking forward to updates!
  14. Nicely done, DM. Kinda cool seeing it turn from A to C Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  15. Spiffy looking backplates you got going on there Calum! Nicely done yet again!
  16. Hans, you are truly the Master! And thanks for this!
  17. Thanks Hans! So are you using your B256A13 anymore at all? I started with one, but haven't used it since the Arduinos became a real choice. I think the thing that really started to get to me was having to use a diode in every single circuit. Plus since DCS-Bios, don't have to worry about assigning every single device and switch to a command. ;)
  18. Looking fantastic Hans! How about a peek at the underside of them panels? ;) When you used DCS-Bios, did you also use 485's or 7's, or are they still individually wired? I'm impressed! Even the toggle switches are originals! You get those from eBay? Anyway, it seems there's always something that still needs to be done on this hobby, no matter how much you do. But you're always impressing me with the amount and quality of what you've got done so far. Good luck on the rest of the year!
  19. Nicely made! Really looks great. :)
  20. Huh, how about that. Thanks Vlad! Good info. It does seem a bit high. Sounds like with the reference point that it needs to be dropped an inch or so. Oh, and thanks Gus! It should look even better when I start getting some bezels and stuff from Lynx. I haven't even started with the actual electronics part of it. I've been kinda waiting for more reference (handholding) with Ian and Warhog's MAX487 instructions. :) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
  21. Rudder Pedals Placement WOW! It has been some time since I posted anything! Fortunately, I still have been working on the pit, though it might not always seem like it. ;) I've got a question for anyone who might know. I've got some new rudder pedals (Slaw's, which BTW, are as smooth as butter!) that I'm very excited to get, and questioning the placement of them. Right now because of the design of the pit they happen to sit where the bottom of the pedal is approximately 5 inches. (And approx. 18" forward of the seat.) So I can leave it as is and lock it down there, or I can modify the floor of the pit to bring the pedals closer to the floor. So what are others doing with their pedals? Are they close to the floor or sit above it? (And by how much?) Here's a quick photo of what I'm talking about. It's a phone pic and not the greatest, but there you go. :) (Oh! And I'll be selling a set of Saitek Pro Flight's if anyone's interested... :D )
  22. Thanks Hans! Appreciate you sharing your finds and work. It makes it much easier for everyone, and I know it would take me forever to get back into that level of electronics again. Hard to believe I used to do it for a living! :D
  23. Hans, That was... Man, that was beautiful! Absolutely incredible work. Here I am, still working on the physical portion of my pit, (new consoles, etc.) and I am simply humbled by your electronics work. Again, incredible job Hans.
