Easy, I've still got the sketchup 17 to svg plug in on my main PC. I'll see if I can make a zip with all the bits this weekend coming for you.

@Ltdan853 will they take SVG at the CNC joint? @Hagen I'll post em Sunday my man. Away from the PC for work.

@BULLITT83 Dude!!! That's looking incredible! I'm so glad that my plans have worked for someone else. Suggestion for you, use AR like the warthog project so you don't need to take the canopy off and you can look around. I just got my Pico 4 Ultra delivered today. I'll post some shots soon with it working. https://youtu.be/8r8AUljZXo0?feature=shared What paint scheme are you going to paint on it? Your VDI and HSD buckets look great btw.

That switch is about 1000% nicer than mine. I'll take 2! Got the screens exporting this afternoon.

Hey @Hagen, If you mean the 3d models for all the parts then yeah they will. @Ltdan853 has been my testing offsider to make sure they work on other people's setups. The amount of work on the pits this year has been incredible. Everyone's pit is look amazing.

Heya Gents, Quick update from me. My HSD is fully functional using an Arduino Leonardo. The ACM Panel housing and acrylic came up really well with my custom Korry Switches from 737DIY Sim. (They are excellent parts). I'm just tinkering with the VDI before I release the lot. I'm not happy with the left and right indicator housing and wire routing holes on my current design. Cheers, Mumbles

@Hagen Ahh copy. I can the offsets under the switches in the model now that you pointed it out. For anyone that wants a pre-fabricated solenoid switch, Im just about to purchase some 2 and 3 Pos Magnetically Held Switches from Flitepal. I'll let you know what I think when I get them. https://flitepal.cm/

@Hagen, Love your work mate, welcome to the nut house of Turkey pit builders. 2x questions for you. 1. Can you post the 5 row switch you used? I think @LASoonerused the generic stuff on ebay but it was too short. 2. If you are up to it, could you please post a copy of the 3d model here, it would be greatly appreciated when you are happy with them. Keep up the good work.

Yeah man, have a look at this. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/258171-f-14b-with-sparrowhawk-hud/page/5/#findComment-5574488

Hahha, not idea what you are on about....

@Ltdan853, What's your end game here mate? (Full pit, desktop sim etc). If it's a full pit your best bet is to take @Jar72 .svg files converted from my sketchup model (built from Heatblur's/Cobra's 3D scans and have them CNCed. That will give you the guts of the cockpit frame that Jar, @BULLITT83 and myself are all all using. I've got a bunch of stuff (stl's) to upload shortly for the ACM panel, VDI, HSD, left and right instrument buckets and mounting brackets etc to fill out the put with 3d printed parts that have been installed in mine over the last few days. The link that @Elo posted will do a good percentage of your panels as well. Cheers, Mumbles.

@Jar72 thanks for putting that svg up man! Your pit is coming very along nicely. I've made a bit more progress with my 3d models for the front panel. The VDI, HSD and ACM panel have all come up rather well. I'll push the draft .stl files up in the next week or so once I've got the rest of the kinks out. Cheers, Mumbles

I can convert it to SVG if that helps at all. Pretty sure you could just print it out in tiles that way.

@BULLITT83 that is looking phenomenal mate! I'm pretty sure it was in the last .skp I uploaded. I'll have a quick check for you now. (https://forum.dcs.world/topic/141193-f-14-cockpit-and-instrument-dimensions/?do=findComment&comment=5296407) - pretty sure it's in here. I cut out two of them with some offcuts layed in as stand-offs to make it four pieces thick, then glued it together. I then just wraped it in 2 or 3mm mdf I cut into a strip, then glued it on as per the last photo you posted of mine. Cheers, Mumbles

Heya Gents, Quick and dirty pics of the HSD. Still WIP. I'm quite happy with the little HDG/BRT type indicators. They backlit quite well. I've still got to cut a 3mm clear screen protector (current one is 1mm) and put the pots in. Good pick for the screen @Elo. What pots did you end up using? Cheers, Mumbles
