is this still goin on?

Is this still goin on sir ?

great i like the way u have made them look and i think it will definitely work. wat it will come down to is pricing. i think im gonna give it a shot. lets do it.

But how did u wire the physical switch to actually work in conjunction with wat is sewn on the sim. Meaning how did u get the fleps switch to actually flip in the simulation game while u phyaically switch it on in ur cockpit. Did dat make sense. Lol. Ok i know u have to wire the physical switch to an IO board. Then from there u plug the board in to the cpu via usb cord. But how did ur board sync with. the actual switch in ur cockpit to work with the simulator.

Hey guys. Im quite familiar with arduino. And i have a dedicated system just for arduino. Im trying to build the f 18 cockpit and im getting all the hardware together drom various places. I havent gotten to any of the coding cuz i was planning on buying a pnp board. But im interested in ur ideas. Let me know where ur at ans maybe i can add something to ur project. At the very least i would like to check on ur updating. Ttyl

If i may. can i ask that by purchasing the boards that u are using, and then connecting it to the computer. ur saying that the computer will automatically allow dcs world to pick it up ? to make it clear. ur saying when i build the panel and switches, i have to wire switch to the board ur talking about, then connect board to the pc, then have dcs world turned on and thats it ? how does the mapping get done as far as the procedure to doing it ? Yes im super new to doing it. lol. i just started the building of an f18 and im starting from left panel to right. im wondering does the cpu do the mapping or do i do the mapping when i plug in the circuit board or IO board to the pc ?

im trying to build the f18, is this rite for this plane

can i ask how did u wire the switches to an arduino ? what was the coding to the arduino and how did the connect to the simulator ? im guessing from the actual swith, u wired it to a port or slot on the arduino, then from the arduino u have plugged it in usb to the computer. then from there i get lost, how did the simulator pick it up ?

btw, thats is a freakin kick ass video nd how u set this up. thats an awesome video. great job

can i ask u to share ur instruction on how u did this with the nano and its wiring . but thats if u dont mind, i dont wanna step on ur toes . ty in advance,

i forgot to ask, can they be used to make the f18 hornet or is this only for the a10c .

I am unable to see th pricing. how much for the complete plug and play with backlite ? also if the pricing is good, how much will 3 or 4 cost, with shipping to the united states 60098 ?

I GET DIRECTX END USER RUNTIME WEB INSTARLLER ERROR WHEN I TRY TO DOWNLOAD HELIOS FILE, HOW CAN I CORRECT THIS ? TY IN ADVVANCE

So does that mean that there's an F-18 profile out there that is already setup to use with Helios or does that mean all the configurations need to be made

OK . I UNDERSTAND. I APOLOGIZE TO THIS THREAD. THANX AGAIN GUUYS, TTYL

SORRY FOR TYPOS, THE ERROR IS DIRECT X END RUNTIME USER WEB INSTALLER...

CAN ANONE TELL ME HOW TO DOWNLOD HELIOS/ I KEEP GETTIGN ERROR FOR DIRECT X END RUN TIME YSER WEB INSTALLER. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IM DOING WRONG OR AM I ,ISSING SOME SOFTWARE ? TY IN ADVANCE

u know i really appreciate ur helping me with this. im gonna start as u stated, with button box and take the time to educate myself with all that u had said. the good thing that i have going is that im advanced with arduino, making codes and switches. i build ground control stations as a hobby for flying my fixed wing planes from motion rc. i have a bunch. however im new to flight simming and i can tell u that the 2 are very different beasts. ur rite, baby steps. cuz in the end i may be advanced with pcb's, arduino's, building switches and codes for rc planes and quadcopters, but with flight simming, i know nothing. i will take ur advice and start with the button box. now let me ask u this last thing. do i buy the physical box or panel to insert the switches / buttons, ? or do i build one myself? would it be wise for me to do it in section? such as,start with the left side of the f18 panels and slowly progress to the right side until im complete with it all, or is there another way or point that i should begin with? btw, when u say button box. where exactly is that at. i think u mean where the left side of the panels below the throttle of f18? i call it the comms panel. or am i way off. sorry for bugging so much, i know ur doing it to help. i thank u again. can u help stupid (me). i think to many yrs in the army got to me and made me slower. or is that called an excuse for old age lol. being 42 sucks. ty again Svsmokey.

I SEE ON THAT SITE THAT I CAN BUY BBI-32 Button Box Interface - With Connectors OR BU0836X 12-Bit Joystick Board. TO MAKE THE F18 PANELING, WHICH ONE DO I USE . FOR SWITCHES LIKE FLAPS, COMMS, LANDING GEAR , LITES ETC.. ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS? TY IN ADVANCE. ICEMAN2647

I WILL GIVE IT THE OLD US ARMY TRY. TY sVSMOKEY.

In other words im screwed smokey?

HOW DO U WIRE THE SWITCH ON THE PANEL, TO WORK EXACTLY IN SYNC WITH THE SWITCH ON THE DCS SIMULATOR MODULE GAME? I CANT UNDERSTAND THAT. IM BUILDING THE F18 AND I AM AFRAID TO SPEND MONEY ON PANELS AND SWITCHES CAUSE I DONT SEE HOW I CAN WIRE THE SWITCH TO A SIMULATOR GAME. CAN SOMEONE TELL STUPID (ME) HOW ITS DONE LMAO. TY TO ANYONE WHO EPLAINS IT THE CORRECT WAY.

WHERE CAN I GET THE PARTS LIKE U HAVE IN THE DESK IN ABOVE PIC?

WHERE CAN I BUY THEM THINGS I NEED FOR THE F18 SIMPIT? I SEEM TO EITHER SUK AT FNDING THEM OR THERE NT OUT THERE? CAN U PLS HELP ME FIND F18 ITEMS, SUCH AS STICK THROTTLE, PANELS, SWITHES. I HAVE THE MFD AND THATS ALL. ALSO WHERE CAN I FIND THE PROPER SCREENS FOR IT. IM NEED 3 30 TO 50 INCH, OR OR THOSE JUST ANY REGULAR MONITORS? TY

im tryin to build the f18 also, where do i get these parts?
