Yea.. your right, the ADI would do the job.... but what about the rumbling on the airfield?

I think that if they react on the joystick movement you wont have the right output... , i noticed when he was rolling on the runway, it was jumping and moving like it was the whole plane vibrating, exactly like a But Kicker does, which i think is very affective. I dont know if its possible to get those info out of the game, but i hope so.... it should reed the data for positive and negative G. and the pilots head react on the planes movement... thats what you need for se 4 pads and the seatbelt.... However, i have no idea about the jumping and vibration on the runway.

Im not sure DCS Bios is supporting those movements tho.

That seat is awesome, i might just implement that im ny AcesII Design.

Sweet Warhog. Thank you very much for sharing this :)

I have Stable Version 1.3.190 you can download Temperary here: http://lynx.dk/software/HeliosSetup-Stable-1.3.190.zip

Thank you So much Gus, this is awesome :)

Yea can see it cracks of a little in the bend :P, if one would want, it can easily be removed... but i still say its nice.... looks weathered a little :)

Nice job m8 :) Im glad you found a solution. I honestly like the bare aluminum look better than the black :)

i can help you with a new aluminum rod, bend in one piece, see my thread here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=137484&page=14 post 136 As an alternative i can also 3D print you a "connector" prebend that fits into each end. :)

7rooper, i will do that :) For info i can tell you that before those are ready for shipment, i need to make sure it fits the MIP 100%, fx. the way its fixed to the MIP and the UFC mounting plate ontop of it. So i have some fine tuning to do when the new machines gets up and running next week, but i will post pictures like usual :) Havent sorted the backlight for the glareshield Panels either, so thats also in the works :) But i will Update as soon as i can :)

Awesome Gus, Thank you again :) And i hope to get my CNC running mid next week, so i can finish the MIP and the Cockpit Hull itself.

Your right, i thought it looked wrong, but after looking at it again, there is nothing wrong, sorry for the Misunderstanding :) I have been writing you PM, dont know why you arent recieving them.... if you want, you can contact me on info@lynx.dk then we can talk :) Im very interested in Borrowing the seatpan for the ACESII :)

Lars, as i took a glimt at some of your panels, it seemed that the Fuel Control Panel is a bit to long, 1 DZUS too long accually. i dont know if someone can confirm that? I have been trying to PM you, but im not sure if you recieve my Messages.

Thank you so much Gus. But is the 129mm you say horizontally the total width of the backplate? as the ADI is 127mm wide, and the CMSC Panel isnt wider than that? I just recieved a document from the National Museum of the US Air Force, And they where kind enough to provide me with the dimensions i needed too, and they said that the Vertical distance is 1 3/16" which is 30,16 mm which is the same that you said :) And then they wrote the Horizontal is 4 5/8" which is 117,47 mm, and that is also exactly the same the ground crew in Kuwait provided me with. The only thing they measured wrong, was the Vertical measurements.. But im so pleased that this is now solved :) I didnt have the original hole Cutout size in the MIP, so that is very nice that you could provide that :) I thank you many times for that, i was afraid that i was never able to acquire info like this. But this is the main reason for this forum isnt it, to help eachother out :) Thank you :) The PDF with the outer Dimensions will be updated soon. I couldnt agree with you more :)

Thats amazing, looking forward to see it lit up :) and hoping you might wanna show howto also :)

Yes it does :) And money.

The CMSC Is a pain in the Ass, due to the Screens.... I trying difrent OLED's Atm, but its not a perfect fit for any of them. Might have to use the real ones, and i have no idea how to get them connected to an Arduino.

Clay Can i ask what Display you have used, and is it connected to DCS Bios?

That is a very nice Panel :) Nicely done, both Lars and ClayM :) i see you have found out how to engrave the panels, it looks superb :)

Thank you agrasyuk :) Thats a great Picture, but i think i forgot to mention, that its the Mounting Holes on the Backplate that im missing, those 2 holes in each side used to screw the panel onto the MIP. I can see that they are also missing in the panel in the picture. I have this picture showing what i mean :)

I want to thank all of you who have been writing me with links and info for the AcesII :) its awesome that so many wants to help :) I cant show you much but this simple 3D drawing of the AcesII. Its very early in the design so its missing alot, but i am working on the handles etc. that need to fit into the sides. If anyone is wondering why im not showing any real pictures of my progress, its simply that i have had some problems with the old CNC machine, and i had to buy a new one, which im still waiting on the last parts to arrive so i can get it going. So at the moment most of the time is put into drawing and designing. Further i have a little problem with the CMSC Panel, it seems that the Ground Team of the A-10C wrote down the wrong dimensions for the screw positions on the panels backplate. I have the right outer dimensions, and those are listet in the file below, but the screw holes are missing. Are there anyone outthere with an Original Backplate for the CMSC that would be willing to provide those Dimensions? If not im afraid i have to make a estimated positions, and that would be a shame now that we have all the other Measurements :) Here is the CMSC Panel without holes: http://lynx.dk/blueprints/A-10C%20CMSC%20Panel%20Outer%20Dimensions%20-%20Not%20Complete.pdf

Nice looking :) Looking forward to see the finished cockpit.... those old warbird are so cool... I have been thinking on doing a Dora some time :)

You are correct DM, there can be small deviations, since they didnt dismount the panel to measure them. As i checked them today, i realised that i have forgotten the Backplate Dimension on the Nav Mode Select Panel, so that has now been addet to the drawing. Sorry about that folks. :) Lars, that is so Cool :) i have access to a F-16, so there i can get the dimensions for the F-16 Version of the seatpan, but the A-10 Seatpan is diffrent. I dont know if the Parachute Container is the same as the F-16 Model.... which i think it is, but ill hit you a PM :) I have been thinking about how to make the Seatpan and the Backrest for the AcesII, that makes it easy to make, ship and put together, and im thinking of 3D print pieces with the difrent curves, that then can be mounted on the seat, piece by piece next to eachother. This of course has to be tested first :)

Thank you Lobinjaevel. My hope with this is that, with more and more dimensions being available for free, and the possibility to buy Simpit Stuff at reasonable prices, more will come to share our interest in building A-10C's. I have no interest in charging money for Drawings and dimensions, or for the time it took me to develop the cockpits. Only going to charge for the products i make and sell. Here is another Drawing with outer dimensions for you, again measured from a Real A-10C The Nav Mode Select Panel: http://lynx.dk/blueprints/A-10C%20Nav%20Mode%20Select%20Panel%20Outer%20Dimensions.pdf More Documents have been added here: http://lynx.dk/blueprints.html And for you who are still wondering, i am going to release free Drawings of the Right and Left Console, The MIP and the AcesII. This way you can cut it yourself, or get someone with a CNC to cut it for you. I will also see if i can offer the possibility that i precut it, and ship it for you to assemble. Only thing stopping me atm, is that i dont know what the price will be for such a heavy and big shipment. But, if its duable, you will know :) Working Ejections Handles, Seat Arm Lever, And Manual Parashute Handle, 3D printed with switches is also in the works, and will of course fit my AcesII but will also be made for you to attach to whatever seat you have. Further more i have recieved Dimensions on allmost every Knob and Handle in the A-10C, from the Kind Ground Crew of the A-10C in Kuwait, so i can say that all those are also on the list of future products.
