  1. Are you using the latest simshaker for aviators version? Not sure if SSA has been updated to include BS3 yet..
  2. The launch tubes stay tilted downwards (even) after pressing the targeting reset button. I.e., they don't retract upwards.
  3. My guess would be for the most part you should be fine. I remember reading in a newsletter that (amongst other stuff off course) the INU system is undergoing development, so some aspects/details will probably change there.. But that is a (small) part of the entire system, the rest I don't think will change a lot..
  4. Holy cow!! So sad to hear this He indeed was a good man, with much generocity in multiple ways. May he be in good company with his dogs and music. Rock on, wherever he is now.
  5. So, few points: - The Vikhr circles are indeed offset and alternate left/right depending on which rack will launch. This is due to the fact that the vikhr is a beam riding and is looking BACKWARDS to the laser, not forwards like an LGB. That's why you see it twirl around so much when in flight. That it's looking backwards, it needs to intersect the beam for it to start tracking. Because the launch racks are parallel to the centerline of the airframe, launching the missile "into" the beam helps in it catching/guiding earlier. - The auto-turn-to-target it not an auto aim measure.. It'll get the helo pointed roughly in the right direction, but it's up to the pilot to fine tune to launch. That means that you'll have to re-aim after each shot, because the reticle will swap left/right each time. Hope this helps
  6. The throttles are basically like a suspension fork.. Inner and outer "tube" which slide into each other. You could glue some thin shims in the sliding interface.. But, fwiw: I just ingnore/take it for granted
  7. yea it's standing the challenge of time Still love it! Thanks for the typenumber - I'll keep a lookout on the great fleebay Cheers!
  8. Ah eBay yes off course. Haven't looked on there for a while... And indeed, that is the config I'm looking for. Do you have a search term I can look for? Typenumber perhaps? I'm looking to get several eventually, so you keep yours Thanks for the offer though! (OT: the AHCP-XL is still very much in use )
  9. Sexual chocolate... Q: Where did you source the locking toggle switches? I want to get some locking ones with a different config which are not available from the NKK ranges..
  10. You could implement three physical switches maybe and bind them all to the ejection command?
  11. It's been a while........

      @setup: thanks dude 🙂 Long history with this pit and really like it...

      The seat chassis does need a rework, and I'm currently redesigning the hole thing, just because 😛

      This particular seat is a bit annoying, in the fact that the four mounting pounts underneath are all at different height levels... But, those are all problems which are workaroundable 🙂

       

      LOL Days won... Apparently, when I hove my mouse over it, it says: "The number of times 159th_Viper had the most number of content likes for a day"..

      So 37 times you were the most liked character on here hehe 😛

      Lol I see hahahaha. What will the forum genie think of next?

  12. Thanks dude! Yea I'm quite happy with the new design so far. Started this redesign a few years ago when I was living in Singapore for work and had to find something to do in the evenings Mostly triggered by the fact that the current center section is not very sturdy, and if the rudder pedals need to be removed (for whatever reason) I'm screwed because then the entire section will have to be disassembled... So the new design for the center section will consist of three reasonably easily disassembleable sections. In terms of size and ergonomics, my current pit is already nearly perfect for me. It's aimed to be universal (i.e., tubeliners, combat aircraft, helo's, ...) and comfortable. The only thing not universal are the Warthog panels. The AHCP-XL is still serving me very well!! Still very grateful for that one dude! Love it. (and yes, the backlighting still works ) This new pit has (only) a few tweaks in terms of sizing. The most "important" one is the height of the footwell. The current cockpit it's a little too low, so I can rub my shins on the edge sometimes. Anyhooo... Back to designing
  13. Great! Thanks dude! Yea off course, If I do end up changing some of the switches, some space there is always nice for cables and stuff.
