Ambient/Environmental Sounds on the carrier would be great, (loud speaker call outs, alerts, radio traffic) just an idea.

Any chance you be selling the button caps by themselves?

This is epic and very detailed ED actually modeled and coded suicidal gamblers jumping from bridges in the map. :)

i too am getting the mig-21 prompt for activation, wasted 4 already. I trust ED will fix it.

Concur

i concur that performance has dropped since latest update compared to other versions. Shouldn't have to change graphics settings if it was running fine at full. I'd like to keep it that way.

Does anyone have MS33558 in SINGLE STROKE for engraving? My PC got wiped out, thought i backed everything up but apparently this file is missing so FML.

Off topic slightly: 1.build pit 2.insert glade auto air freshener dispenser in pit 3.put a gunpowder scented freshener can in dispenser 4. wire up hotas trigger to dispenser 5. pull trigger, smell freedom

Sorry, I should have stated i was referring to the CMSC not the CMSP. CMSC is not as wide as console panels. @john, nice work @duckling, nice work, doesnt have to be 100% replica,it does the job and still looks cool.

Only thing about the display you are using is that by itself it is almost as wide(if not wider) than the actual entire panel. I'm just being anal about accuracy ;)

may have to bite the bullet on this one and use the actual Osram Displays. I am waiting for a good payday. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-10pcs-lot-Free-shipping-SLG2016-4-digit-thin-5X7-intelligent-LED-display-green-line/32508565913.html?spm=2114.01020208.3.106.kpUBbq&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_2_79_78_77_91_80,searchweb201644_5,searchweb201560_9

well gents, it finally works!!! I turned off Avast and Firewall, turned on the interactive control reference, then the sim, loaded up the A-10C then alt-tab (like warhog was saying), then started up the socat and baaazing it works ! thumbs up to you guys. I have the CMSP display working but I only have a 16x2 LCD, where do I go to further abbreviate the characters so everything fits without running together? ****added info**** turned avast security back on and the avast firewall. As long as I run the sim first it all still works.

Thanks John, I am going to shut my PC down for a few hours and I will come back and go through your list and make sure ive checked all of it correctly. I'm pulling my hair out with this and need to take a small break. I will check back in a bit. It still did not work after turning my firewall off

Thx for the quick replies, I am checking on this now.

Hello, Ian this is great stuff. I am having a problem that I don't know how to fix. I have followed the user guide 100% even going back over it several times. I watched the video on how to add the UHF and Clock onto my 1602A LCD several times. Everything is hooked up correctly but it will not show up when DCS is started. Where am I going wrong? Hello World works perfectly, but DCS-BIOS is not communicating with DCS using Arduino UNO w/at mega 328p with no shield connected via USB 16x2 LCD (1602A) pins connected the same as Hello World sketch the same as yours in the video except the pins you use com port set DCS Bios scripts and export copied and pasted correctly i see in your video when you run the connect-serial-port.cmd it is scrolling with a string of information. mine does not it gives the com port information such as the baud and handshake etc. and that is all. Is there a firewall or windows security control issue blocking this from functioning?

When I requested the Knobs in the first post I did not think I was required to specify whether or not the knobs were for personal or business. I stated "My Panels" which in my mind meant both. Never intended on being deceptive for any reason. Further its no secret that I am building panels as I have recently advertised such activity. Thanks for turning a simple request into a battle for no reason at all. Instead of making a false assumption, why didn't you simply ask me what I needed knobs for and what I plan to do with them? Lucky for me I did not require the internet to obtain the knob specs for the A-10C panels. A little research of the meaning of my Username will help you understand that.

Is there anything wrong with asking for help with a project? Is there anything wrong with wanting to cast my own knobs? What's so interesting?

Actually I do want to order a complete set, I just can only afford one console at the moment and will be able to order the other console in December. Not to mention If you only had my order and not an additional three, then you still would not make any, so I am screwed either way.

I am in dire need of knobs for my panels. I have the equipment and supplies needed to create my own knobs, the only issue I have is I don't own any of the original knobs for the A-10 panels in order to make a cast mold. If anyone has the correct knobs and would be willing to send me one of each type so I can make my molds please let me know. I only need them for a short time and will pay to have them shipped and returned to you when i am finished. ~Firedawg

For anyone who is interested, I will cut/paint/engrave any console panel needed for the A-10C, at a reasonable price. The panels are back-lit ready meaning the panel is translucent. Complete Modular Panels come with LED's installed with a protective box for the switches,LED's and include the port connections needed to power the panel. Will cut to customer specs. I will build complete modular panels with full modular connectivity(the cost is more). Controller Interface boards are not included(GPWIZ40, Arduino, etc.).
