I will just second that DCS Bios is a great piece of software for interfacing hardware like LED’s, switches, potentiometers, rotarys, , servos and perhaps also steppers in the future. It uses an Arduino as interface and is pretty simple to set up. Unfortunately only a few modules are supported today. For instruments you also have HawgTouch/Icarus that I can recommend (doing more or less what Helios is doing).

The latest issue of this swedish magazine is also adding to the hype :)

I would assume that is because of the "mandatory" Top Gun soundtrack used in the video. There should be a muted version ;)

Here is a summary of the crashes I did a while ago: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2637207&postcount=726

I have a 360 servo on my desk, and I actually tested it with an Arduino and DCS Bios. So yes indeed, you can find them (pretty easy). However they are useless without any external zero positioning sensor... It just rotates in the direction it's told... Perhaps it should be called a endlessly rotating servo, not 360...

In general fuses should be placed first in a circuit (close to the power supply), else it will not really protect the circuit. What kind of AC voltages do you have in this circuit? What is the purpose of the 5VDC and why are you feeding the regulator with AC? A 7805 generates a lot of heat, so always try to have the input voltage as close to the output voltage as possible.

This is a good panorama view, even though it is not the AJS variant, since it share the most common instruments. http://www.museeairespace.fr/aller-plus-haut/panoramas-360/360-cabines-de-pilotage/panorama-360-saab-sk-37e-viggen/

Perhaps a Nextion HMI panel (or similar) could be a feasible option? Then the HMI panel takes care of the presentation and the only thing the Arduino has to do is shuffle plain serial data.

It is a shame there isn't any subforum for Viggen with dedicated threads for different topics. There is so much information and knowledge here but since it is all put in one big pile it will be very hard to get to it. Some of us has been active in this thread on a daily basis but coming from the outside will be pretty daunting for anyone that is jumping on the train lately... especially with all different side tracks, which are funny in many ways but they might add to the confusion and make it even harder to follow the actual information and so on. But hey, we can start all over again creating new threads with each and every topic discussed here ;) Or perhaps a few persons should put together a "best of" list of topics...?

This one makes me a little puzzled: "Pedalkraftsgivare" is translated to "Pedal force generator". "Givare" in Swedish would better be translated to sensor, not generator. So is it a bad translation, or am I reading the Swedish term in the wrong context?

In one way it would be cool to have it released at February 8th, 2017 as a 50 year celebration. Not that I want to wait if we could have it before that, so excuse me for jinxing the release date ;)

Sweet, soon I will have a third option for flying the Viggen in my basement - My Amiga 500 and a Neo Geo arcade system being the two current options :)

The 1982 edition of the tactical instructions is the most logical in the current context. However a declassified SFI for JA 37 perhaps would be the first step towards getting a JA module in DCS :music_whistling:

Hm... this one flew under my radar until now. However it seems to be put on hold in favor for the Gazelle? So is it back on the agenda again now? :)

Same here. I guess a group of Viggens with BK90's would end the current discussion in the Blue flag event about clearing out the last few airfields ;)

A short summary of the command post Björn history: From the beginning there was a secret airbase built during WWII alongside E20 in south west of Sweden. Actually the E20 road was used as the landing strip (according to my uncle that once flew Lansen in E1 by the way) at some times. In the 50’s there was as decision to use the existing facilities to accommodate the E1 command on this secret war base. However this location was considered to be revealed for the Warsaw pact as a part of the Stig Wennerström spy scandal in the early 60’s. A new location was built in a mountain somewhere and the old was only used for training, until 1995 when E1 was disbanded.

Just as a side note, regarding the command post Björn (bear) mentioned, there is a mini exhibition about it right now at the museum in Skara (Sweden). http://vastergotlandsmuseum.se/utstallningar/ledningsplats-bjorn/

Thanks, haven't got the time to test it yet but I will - eventually. But it doesn't really explain why there was a problem for the A-10, but not the MIG-21...

Sweet! Now give us the MIG-21 Radar and I'll throw my money at you :)

Do you realize that every time you de-classify a document like this and make it available you are delaying the release of the Viggen module? ;)

It's to bad that the brutality never gets through from these videos. You must experience it IRL to fully understand. Once you get Viggen'ed - you will never go back ;)

And if you would need any help to get a Viggen profile in Ikarus later on I will do whatever I can to help :)

Thanks. However I will most likely restart and build a Viggen cockpit eventually.

Two weeks I assume ;)
