Not sure what to do about the emergency wing sweep cover since it has a clear part.. I’m open to any recommendations.. aside from that this is the prototype. Time to figure out the DCS Bios thing.
I’m speechless.

I’m completely new to 3d printing. This is my first go at it. I bought a K1 Max about 3 weeks ago, and I kinda just mess with the slicer until I see something that makes sense. I do a test print and keep an eye on it. If it isn’t printing the way I like, I’ll kill the print and try something else. That’s really for the bigger prints though. Small stuff like this I just let run. I’m running the stock 0.4mm nozzle at 20% infill. I’m sorry if that isn’t much help.
Here’s a quick build video of the Emergency Wing Sweep Handle. I hope this helps. I’d run the video at 2x the speed, I couldn’t figure out how to do that in the editor and I don’t care enough to figure it out.Looks like you know exactly what you're doing. Can't wait to get my hands on the stl files whenever you get happy with how everything goes together.

Prototype works. That’s exciting.
So cool!
Just curious, because im a very intermediate 3d printer with my ender 3, it looks like all the pieces should be pretty easy to print laying flat on their side, except for the top black slotted cover. Any thoughts on how to print that piece? Maybe break it up into 3 or 4 pieces and glue or screw them back together?

Selling the Super Taurus for $750 shipped CONUS.

I love this thing but I’m trying to pull weight of my DOF reality motion rig to balance it out and this throttle is really heavy. It’s a tank. I’m going to miss the authentic throw and range of motion but I need to downsize to a smaller throttle. I ordered a Winwing Orion 2 and will put the Super Taurus up for sale when I get the Orion in a couple weeks. Only shipping this to continental US.
Will update this thread with price when I get the Orion.

Yep. Plan is to make all of the files available when I get to about a 90% solution. I'm guessing that will be sometime in early November. That will include a bill of materials for screws, buttons, switches, etc., etc. However, the files may or may not include the code for the Arduino. I haven't spent much time looking at how to make DCS BIOS work.
I probably should have mentioned that this is all being done via photos I've found on the internet. The photos are resized in Fusion 360 (the canvas tool is incredibly helpful with that), but I'm expecting some measurements and sizes to be off by as much as a 4 or 5mm or 3/4's of an inch.
Anxiously watching the progress on this...and so is my printer. Looks amazing.

Well they just said it will be coming soon in a future update...so, that could be in 2 or 3 updates....or next summer.

After flying this sim for 10 years, I've learned a very important lesson as far as potential feature development: manage your expectations. If ED and/or other developers mention planned features/modules/assets/maps, much of that stuff could still easily be 3 to 5 years away.

Hmm, seems that it doesn't do this when you go into instant action on the Channel map, but it does do it when you use the mission editor?
-
I understand if you go to full throttle at touch down, you will a very positive climb rate off the end in the landing config. What I don't understand is why I can leave the throttle at 85 to 90 percent as I roll down the deck and then get a very positive floaty climb rate off the end. Also, at full throttle you should be able to get the jet to leave the deck before the end, but the ground effect won't let you. Its just weird.
-
Is anything ever going to be done about this?
-
Yeah, its so stupid, that bolter procedures are reduce throttle and stick forward.

Just came back to this after a while away. On bolters and touch and go's, the hornet still balloons off the end of the angled deck? I just left the stick alone and left the throttle at like 88 percent, and it just flies up and away. You almost have to go stick forward to keep it from climbing too quickly. If i'm flying on speed AOA at approx 135 knots, and then bolter but dont go to full power, the jet should just fly into the water. This is still a problem after 3 years?
-
Can someone in ED staff respond if this is even a possibility for the future?
-
Are we still on track to get pilot bodies in the cockpit soon? It feels so empty in VR.

Im a little confused guys, does the check box for Close the modification in the simapp setting not fix it?

Hi, would love to get a template of the carrier deck so I could play around and add more tire marks and wear/tear on the deck. Also, change the general shade of the deck and remove some of the sun bleaching. Any chance we will get one?

I'm just using paint.net. I can open up the dds files and, even though not the best way, I just made changes over the top of the file and resaved. It saved fine, but doesn't show up in game, so I'm obviously missing something.
I do wish there was a template with the layers so i could take a look.
I guess I should put a template request in the wish list section.

yeah, that's where i found the two above that i mentioned.

Hey guys, I found it's simple to go into the nimitz texture files and change the shade of the deck_base.dds color, but I can't figure out how to open a file to add more tire marks and other weathering effects to specific parts of the deck. I thought the deck_LOD_3_base.dds might be the one but that doesn't work. Any ideas?

Hey guys, any idea how to add a desert flight suit to the pilot for my skin? This is not for the in-cockpit pilot, but as part of the external skin when looking from the outside. I assume add a dds file to the skin (because otherwise it uses the default green suit) and then add a line to the description in some way?
-
Any ideas when we might get an accurate Navy Pilot with appropriate flight gear in the cockpit?...and preferably with a desert flight suit?
