Nice work thats progressing along nicely

I am currently doing a preorder for the new combined IFEI jettison Panel https://tekcreations.space/product/f18-hornet-ifei-jettison-display-controller-preorder/ Estimated ship date is Early March (Due to Feb Holiday Closure) By doing a preorder it allows me to get the cost of parts reduced by committing to a larger order. This unit combines the IFEI Panel, Jettison Panel and Video controller into a single unit. The overall size of the backkplate is 233.3mm wide x 166.6mm High The final product may have a slightly different visual appearance depending on the the final iteration, updates will be posted if it changes.

Almost there on the A10 Landing Panel, just some coding to be finalised when I get a bit of time.

Just wondering what the level of interest is going to be on an F18 Hornet AMPCD offering. I may even do something I don't normally do and offer a preorder system, which may help to drop the price to the lower end if I get a commitment on a decent qty. What I imagine will be FAQ below Price? I am aiming for 200-220 aud Will it have a screen? I am looking at a screen , it will be extra 300aud Why so much for the screen? Because this will be a 1:1 Screen, NO OVERHANG, these puppies aren't cheap, and honestly I am making bugger all on them at this price. Can I fit my own Screen? Sure have a crack, can't hurt to try. Cougars are cheaper for a pair. - Of course they are, perhaps you should look into buying some if price is your concern. China DDI's available Are cheaper - Of course they are , I am not in china mass producing Availability? Frames I am looking at a few weeks. Screens will be longer Can Your Screens be added later? Yes that will be possible. Take my money: Sure send it over Why are the top and bottom buttons wrong orientation: Because I assembled at midnight will be corrected

Yep that is the goal to try and sort out issues like this, I personally still run HUB version without any hangs/crashes, but getting more and more reports of people getting issues now. Doing all the backend work, getting ready to migrate over in the next few weeks hopefully for some beta testers

Footage in DCS Units Shown in CPG position.. Seems to be an issue with the MFD export for pilot at the moment, hey its early access, I'm sure it will be fixed I am not selling the monitors, it is cheaper to source yourself, but even if you are doing your own, i think this monitors are a nice solution, come enclosure with HDMI, closest size ive seen and even has Vesa75 mounting holes on the back. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32825507586.html See more details here https://tekcreations.space/product/apache-ah-64-mpd-multi-purpose-display-controller/

The A10 CDU has a firmware update available. This is also usable on the earlier DIY PCB only units https://tekcreations.space/a10-cdu-upgrade/

It sure isn't DCS Apache, but doing a trial in Arma3 AH-64 Mod.

It is a captive middle acrylic layer where the button holes are slightly larger than the top that keeps the keys down so they don't come up.

Final Apache MPD design done I think. There will be a backplate but just working out the design for future screen mounting. I think I have gotten the price to sit at 315aud ea. Unfortunately unless I am thrustmaster selling them by the thousands its hard to get much lower. Taking registered interest here https://tekcreations.space/product/apache-ah-64-mpd-multi-purpose-display-controller/

The F18 hornet UFC Controller has had a revamp and is now available on backorder, the unit now comes with a custom LCD scratchpad and also custom Comm Channel displays to replicate the in game displays. Currently starting the thought process on an upgrade path, but it is a new PCB to support the Comm displays, but I will look at whats reusable and offer a cheaper upgrade option, and maybe just a scratchpad upgrade.

This is 3d printed enclosure buttons are lasercut.

10" 4:3 screen , 800x600 resolution.

Next up I am currently iterating through creating MPD's for the Apache AH-64 Currently up to V0.1 which is starting to take shape. Electronics are functional (just missing the module lol) More tweaking to adjust the Frame fitting, as part of this the buttons will be raised another mm or 2. PCB has backlighting on it, but I don't think final version will be backlit due to material limitations.

Just finished up the F18 Hornet IFEI Display USB Controller. https://tekcreations.space/product/f18-hornet-ifei-display-controller/ "Look Ma no HDMI" this is a completely custom LCD Completely driven by USB via DCSBIOS. Has both White and Green Backlighting for mode changes.

F14 Tomcat Engine / Autopilot controller is now finished up.

Thanks, Yep keeps me out of trouble

Just finished up the A10-C Caution Panel USB Controller https://tekcreations.space/product/a10-warthog-caution-panel-usb-controller/ Video of the unit in action This unit is a plug and play USB controller that MUST be setup to use DCSBIOS to work with A10 DCS Module. The A10 Warthog Caution Panel is 146.05 mm Wide x 60mm High and 161.925 mm Wide suitable to mount in a cockpit build.

F14 Tomcat ACM Panel, video of it in action

F18 master Arm Standalone Panel is done. https://tekcreations.space/product/f-a-18c-master-arm-panel-usb/

The Ch1 and 2 are 14 segment but only single digit and the 10's denoted by the decimal, and the scratchpad is 7 segment. This is all simply because of sizing. The 0.36" was just too large and would have had to push out the overall size too much. There is no manufacturer I can see of 0.28 14 or 16 segment displays they just can't seem to make them that small. One thing I did look at was the 5 x 7 Green DLG series displays but they are rare and bloody expensive, but they would have suited the scratchpad perfectly.

Just finished up an A-10 Intercom Panel Controller. https://tekcreations.space/product/a10-warthog-intercom-panel-controller/

This panel incorporates the Master Arm Panel, the Jettison Control Panel, the IFEI Control Panel and the Hook and Wing Fold Controls intended as a companion to the Landing Panel. I can change the coding and the text of some of the controls, ie Fire Ext to Master Caution, Wing fold to ECM if requested. I am currently thinking of a 3d printed F18 Hornet Hook Handle to mount on Hook switch, if I do I will provide the STL for free download https://tekcreations.space/product/f18-hornet-jettison-ifei-controller/

Finished up the A10 Radio Stack, This is the VR version no working displays. This is the Arc-210 Model, FIgure it can't be too far away now!. In the interim as it presents as a regular joystick you can still map the ARC controls to operate the AM Radio Controls https://tekcreations.space/product/a10-warthog-radio-stack-panel/
