:smilewink:..You dragons are so cute..! But seriously I mean it..! I read this thread getting more of an "Oh No!" feeling in my gut as I got further down... And then.. aaahh... You did like men should always do.. Get it out and deal with it and go have a beer together..! :thumbup: for upholding the standard we all like so much..!

Here you are.. But do remember that I have'nt finished the Trigger Mechanics myself, so use the drawings as a guide line only.. At least until I can vouch for them myself..:cry:

I KNEW IT.. Aaaaaaaaaargh!!!:doh: Dude.. sounds like you've been here..? LoL

I HATE SOLDERING! Guess how long this took to solder..?

I did some surfin today and came over this little thing..! KeyWarrior20 Chips support keyboards with up to 20x12 keys. USB, PS/2, and ADB interfaces USB 1.1/2.0 compliant, Low Speed All three PS/2 codesets supported Power Key on separate input Customer specific key layout, either factory programmed or in-system Programming options: Flex, Operator, and Commander Direct outputs for Caps, Num, and Scroll LEDs Diodes in matrix possible Available in SSOP48 package At this site: http://www.codemercs.com/index.php?id=38&L=1 Could this be a good keyboard card for use with DCS many functions? It does have 240 keys ?

Really..? Have you tested it.? That would be even more amazing of it's right..:thumbup:

GOOD JOB..! And good planning to..! Maybe I will have to learn from you and actually see if my pit fits..? Hmm? Keep'em coming dude..! Keep'em coming..

Here you see the Collective at it's middle position: And at it's max position: and last but not least at minimum position..! And also Leo Bodnars BU0836 Joystick card with it's breakout board (not quite finished with that one yet). I've gotta say I just love this card..! It's all you need for joystick conversions, building simple panels or just making Flightsimming hardware in general..! And it has a big brother that you can connect rotary encoders to as well..! Da*n Good Job Leo Bodnar..! Thank you..! The ball joint that connects the hydraulic actuator to the Stick needs to be attached directly to the Collective sticks pipe. Because there is quite a lot of force involved when you start jerking it arround in a desperate situation.! And you need a direct transfer of forces to the actuator.! And NO PLAY..! (I will probably rebuild the way it's attached though.. But within the same principles) This is the valve that opens for the oil to run freely when I press the Collective brake handle in. There's a spring that helps return the valve rod to it's closed position, and another spring at tha collective brake handle to return it to. I went for the two spring system, because with only one spring it needed to be really strong. And that made flying for a long periode with the handle pressed in really painfull.! Also notice the microswitch that is mountes so that when i press the handle in and then let go, it will send a signal to the simulator to reset the autopilots altitude referance point.. 'Dunno why I posted this picture? But I'll leave it here and edit this text when I remember..! A general overviuw of the system. I will mount a small resarvoir with a one-way valve later. Just waiting for the valve to come in the mail.. Again the Collective brake valve and microswitch: Ball link detail..! (if you see an easy obvious way to improve this.. please give me a hint?!) And naturally it's all rotating free in ball bearings: .... just a little picture preview...:music_whistling:

Just glad to be off help mate..! I agree with your enthusiasm around this comunity.. I have aleays recieved more help from members who have been more willing to help than I ever expected.. So when it'¨s time to gave back... We all do our bit..:joystick: Ps. I am making folders containing the Zipped drawings, Pdf drawings and JPGs for thumbnailing and such.. It'll probably take me a day or two, and then we can start uploading the drawings to your website.. Does that sound like a plan you agree with mate?

No. fighting now kids..! He He.. I managed to get my hands on one more.. So you'de better give me an adress both of you.. .... NO RUNNING..!

PM me your address mate.. I might find a sollution for you..?

Good idea.. Let's do that..!:thumbup:

You got me spot on there Alex.. (laughing) Sometimes I wonder if I should spend more time doin' it the Russian way, and make a lot of prototypes instead..? And THEN document the model that works in the end. But it has saved me a lot of time actually dawing up everything in SW and testing it there, and THEN make a prototype that doesn't work..!:doh: I've been missing you on MSN lately btw..? Fully functional front seat - back seat cockpit for the Apache..!? Now that's a challenge..! :thumbup: I've been briefly looking into the Ah-64 cockpit and allthough the panels are more uniform and as such easyer to make. I can just see myself Sweating over making something like these babies for the Ah-64: Pilots Collective: Pilots Cyclic Stick: Co-Pilot's folding Cyclic Stick: (pictures from http://helosims.com) Not to mention these gizmo's: I think I have the drawings for the cyclic stick to, but I couldn't find it..

I got it from a friend of mine who scavenged the left overs after a production plant upgraded theyr automation.. They soplenoid valve has been replaced by a mechanical valve thay is activated by the Collective Brake Handle.. Got pictures coming up later today.. The valve i bought at TESS I seem to remember.. Yup.. it wass definately at TESS..! I do actually have one more of those cylinders here though.. Why don't you PM me your adress and I'll send it to you.. Norway to Sweden isn't that far..;)

I have just tested the BETA version of LOSIOC v2.1 , but unfortunately it doesn't seem to have the different language option yet.. It will probably be added in the full v2.1 release? (.. or so I hope LeCreole..)

Wepon Control Panel Again.. only Jpg's:

R-800 Panel I am out of spave for the Pdf files, but here's the Jpg's:

BTW.. Do you want with Russian or english text?

Will do..! Give me a couple of hours and I'll put it up here..:megalol:

LOSIOC will work with DCS series to.. All it actually does is to make a graphical interface for us that transform what we want to SIOC code.. And there's an english version looming in the horizon to acording to LeCreole..

Just got back home now. And I'll start on the drawings tonight, so keep an eye open on my pitbuilding thread..:book:

So true my friend..:music_whistling: But as I have mentioned earlier I know absolutely NOTHING about making a web page. If anyone I have the 10Gb webhotel adress up and running, but need serious :helpsmilie:..! Anyone out there who would like to make the page, and I'll supply the drawings..?

I can..! I'll email them ASAP..
