Now that i've slowly familiarized myself with blender, I got here...

Have done my first render with Blender. Not very much, but its a step hopefully in the right direction.

An Update from the last days...

You aren't "burning" it. You still have the choice to undo the upgrade and go back to your Win7 Install if you don't like it...

"I don't need to dodge A2A Missiles, I just blow them out of the sky! Cuz I'm a Pilot!" :D

So maybe we'll get in 1.5? Would be awesome.

Looks very nice. Are you considering building a CMSC panel?

I had an Error in the Scaling. Because 50x100 is 5000 not 50000 so it's a 4 Digit Buffer. Now it works like a charm. Thank you, Ian :) The good thing is, that I can now apply this knowledge for more Indicators and Displays and so on.

It's possible, yes. My Plan is to use two Displays instead.

Hey Folks, since I am currently working on my own Cockpit where I want to Display the Fuel Flow Gauges of the A-10 on a 16x1 LCD Display and finaly got the Solution for this, I want to share this with you. So, what do you need for this? Arduino/Funduino Board 16x1 / 16x2 Character LCD Breadboard Wires Arduino IDE Patience (a lot of it) I have all of that! Now you wire everything up like the Datasheet of your particular LCD describes. Download the DCS-BIOS found here! And read the User-Manual ofc. Now the funny Part: Programming! Since I want that to be open Source you can just Copy and paste it in your Sketch but don't forget to change the Pins to you Pin-Assignment found here: LiquidCrystal lcd(2, 3, 4 , 5 , 6, 7); #include <DcsBios.h> #include <Servo.h> #include <LiquidCrystal.h> LiquidCrystal lcd(2, 3, 4 , 5 , 6, 7); DcsBios::ProtocolParser parser; void setup() { Serial.begin(500000); lcd.begin(8,2); lcd.setCursor(0,0); lcd.print("Left Flo"); lcd.setCursor(0,1); lcd.print("w: "); } void loop() { // feed incoming data to the parser while (Serial.available()) { parser.processChar(Serial.read()); } // poll inputs DcsBios::PollingInput::pollInputs(); } void sendDcsBiosMessage(const char* msg, const char* arg) { Serial.write(msg); Serial.write(' '); Serial.write(arg); Serial.write('\n'); } void onDcsBiosWrite(unsigned int address, unsigned int value) { if (address == 0x10ae) { unsigned int lEngFuelFlowValue = (value & 0xffff) >> 0; unsigned int valueL = map(lEngFuelFlowValue, 0, 5000, 0, 5000); lcd.setCursor(3,1); lcd.print(valueL/1.3); lcd.setCursor(7,1); lcd.write(" "); if (valueL <= 9999) { lcd.setCursor(6,1); lcd.write(" "); } else { lcd.setCursor(7,1); lcd.write(" "); } } } As you may have noticed, this is only for one LCD and only one Engine. This is because my second Display hasnt Arrived yet and I couldn't programm it in. But thats only some small additions to the Sketch. As soon my second Display arrives and I have all set up I will Post the Updated Version of this Sketch ;) A Very special Thanks to [FSF]Ian for his awesome Support and Patience with me. Without you I could not make this. A little look at the Result is in the Attachments Now Have fun building your very own Fuel Flow LCD. See you in the Air :pilotfly::joystick:

After getting some Fuel to make it back home, coming home safe with a caught on the first wire :)

If everybody would be so kind to Start/Land on the damn Left side of the runway, there would be much less crowded traffic. And in my opinion, Taxiway takeoffs have nothing to do with what we do and should be just denied by a script of some sorts, like the Virtual Aerobatics Server has. Cheers :)

Right above the Autopilot-Selector Switch on the LASTE Panel is the L/G WRN SILENCE Button. This will mute the sound. But every time you go slow you'll have to mute it again. But the value is not changeable AFAIK Cheers :)

In the next few days my First Arduino and a 16x1 LCD will arrive. So I am fairly new to the Arduino world. However I have some old rusty C/C++ knowledge if that helps :) I also watched all your Videos on Youtube so a little foundation is allready placed. If you could help me or at least give me some hints how to convert the Data i'll get from DCS-BIOS especially for the EngineFuelFlow gauges because they are planned to be build into my Custom Cockpit. Cheers :)

Thats the 104th Phoenix Skins. Have them too and loving them. Here is the Link

Gardroc's Helios really comes into my mind on this Topic. If you want to export RWR,MFCD, etc, then you have to get familiar with viewport exporting. In the Input/Output Section of this Forum you'll find lots and lots of Infos and Help on those Topics. Cheers

Is it possible to take data from a gauge in the Cockpit, let's say the lEngineFuelFlow and instead send it to a servo, translating it into a number to display it on a LCD?

Haha lol

Unfotunately I can't help you there, but I have kinda the same Problem as you. If you want to look here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=2432243#post2432243

As in the Pictures above I don't think they are wrong placed. And for the matter of "useless Buttons" all of the Buttons in FC3 are kinda "useless" because you can't click them. Non the less it's a high fidelity build Cockpit with the Buttons, Switches, Gauges and System at that place where it'll be in the real Aircraft. So nothing wrong here.

I've tested around a bit and found out, that not only the Mig-21 can't contact the EWR. The oder Modules can't either...

Hey there, I currently try to replace a standard E-3 AWACS with an EWR from the Georgians (can't remember the name of the EWR). So I place the EWR, give it a Frequency (149VHF AM) and a Callsign. Then I take the Mig-21 with it on Channel 0 which is also on 149VHF AM and try to contact the placed EWR which is not working at all. I press F7 for AWACS, F2 for the given EWR and F4 for Bogey Dope aaaannnd nothing happens. I don't hear the voice of the Pilot nor the Text puts itself in the upper left corner neither the EWR would respond. Is this a Bug of the Blue Side, because if I place the same things on the Red Side, everything works just fine. I watched this Tutorial on Youtube and changed only the Side, Freq and Callsign. Please help :helpsmilie:

Love the (kind of) Documentary. Very neat little Infos that I never heard before like the capability to turn with 7,5Gs @ Mach 2. It's ridiculously cool that at this speed with that many Gs the Wings wont snap off.

There is a Mod out there with wich you can fly the F-18 with an FC3 Cockpit (I think the F-15 Cockpit is being used). And you'll be limited to the SFM.
