Its just Spam Stelios, pay no attention to it, mods will remove it. i have reported it... btw, if you have questions regarding instruments and open cockpit, ask oakes or trigger, if memory serves me correct they have bot created instruments and they are both using opencockpit's cards...

guess we can forgive you for using a checklist... ;) Awesome pit!

Hi trigger, I happen to be one of them modeler that likes to use "PE"... Photo etch kits for models are made from either stainless steel or more commonly brass, I would recommend using brass over copper due to it beeing more resistive against corrosion and a lot stiffer (0.2 copper is real flimsy) Best of luck! // Trekki

leafer. check out Triggerhappys massive thread, he has all the pics drawings and diagrams you need.

lost in translation Although a picture says a thousand words, i still dont get the big picture... (im talking about the french forum thread) It'd be nice if you could post an update on this forum aswell in english, swedish, norwegian or german :helpsmilie: pic's look really nice though

Holy gimbal batman! that is one sturdy looking set you got there! // trekki

If you need a couple then just make them youself... not beeing sarcasting or anything. look up rtv silicone and resin. buy one of the real switches and make a mold and away you go!:joystick:

I can only agree with the rest, its good to have you back! Now promise you wont go MIA again ;)

looks sweet, a neat trick when bending is to first mill out a thin line where you what to bend the metal, naturally you only remove a very small amount of metal when you do this and only on what will be the inside of the sheet metal structure.

looking goooooooooooood

still dreaming of the day that the ED gods smile upon us and bless us with an option to use a second video card just for the abris and shval.... (i have already sacrificed a joystick on the altar)

@Gadroc look harder... :P with the imagination and ingenuity availabe in this forum and simforums in general everything seems possible, impossible just takes awhile longer ;) // trekki

didn't actually know that there was such a thing (yes im an ignorant bastard) but this might be fun to play around with for you... https://www1.elfa.se/elfa~se_sv/b2b/catalogstart.do?tab=catalog

oakes, go with a better servo, get a one of futaba's better servos, they will set you back a bit more but they will work a whole lot better. there are digital servos with extremely high resolution and repeatability and in most cases you get what you pay for (i work extra in a local hobbystore ) and and the dirt cheap ones are not good enough for what you are trying to use them for... BTW, Sailwinch servos have 360 Degree rotation, eliminating the need for gears/point of failure but they are big and expencive, a ok digital servo will set you back from 250-300 to 1500 sek. (the 250-300 kind will do :) ) Awsome work by the way, you even got the sound of the buttons right :)
