Can you post a screen shot of your weapons page?

It would great to see some ground crew pull up with a vehicle and move around whilst rearming and refueling.

Please post a video. It would be great to see and hear it in action.

Maybe as DCS supports Primax it doesn't need it. Who know's and cares? What ever works for one may not work for someone else

He seems to be very impressed with the 8KX now he has it dialed in. As a vive user the quality of the image 8KX must be far clearer and not feeling I'm looking through a pair of diving goggles would be a game changer, for me at least. So I've placed an order and should be with me next week

Thanks. Just subscribed to your youtube channel

Thank you. Looks good, will have to see if I can get my head around it.

Wow that was quick and a massive THANK YOU

That would be a perfect start. I have looked but unable to find where they are stored. Thanks for your replies guys

Links to the switches I used. https://www.digikey.co.uk/en/products/detail/JS5208/EG4561-ND/1739634 https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/c-k/THB001P/11687191 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Yosawo-200-Pieces-Tactile-Momentary-Assortment/dp/B08CT6TKRJ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2M4ZNW1NUURCP&keywords=Yosawo+200-Pieces+6+x+6mm+4-Pin+Tactile+Push+Button+Switch+Micro+Momentary+Tact+Switch+Assortment+Kit+KG6&qid=1650970460&sprefix=yosawo+200-pieces+6+x+6mm+4-pin+tactile+push+button+switch+micro+momentary+tact+switch+assortment+kit+kg6+%2Caps%2C39&sr=8-1 Those grips look sweet. I don't envy you wiring that lot up. I wore myself out just doing the one collective, however I am toying with the idea of making the TEDAC next if I can find some parts to print.

There are a couple of DCS default training missions that I would like to edit thus making it possible to be used by a friend and myself online. Is this possible?

I opened up the holes in the collective and made these small switch mounts. This way I could solder them up before fitting. Also as they have a lip and are fitted from the outside there is no chance of them being being dislodged and falling inside. The exception was the joystick switch. I made a cage up for this and welded it with some surplus 3D filament and soldering iron, followed by a healthy dob of hot glue.

Thanks and yes that is your design. Didn't use the POV's from Thingiverse. I used 108-THB001P-ND and EG4561-ND. The Hats/knobs I knocked up on CAD and printed. I made some sliders to support the boat type hats to stop them rotating. The SCAN switch I made wider and off set the mounting so the handle itself prevents rotation. The labels were made using a Dymo printer printed with white letting and black background. Then coated with clear varnish for an extra bit of protection. Same trick as we use on DECAL's etc on the A/C. A small CNC for producing PCBs would very useful. I have no idea how you have managed to run it from a smart phone. I would just use a laptop.

Great job. As the shaft on the switches rotate, I was wondering how you stop the 'boat type' knobs from rotating?

Picture update as requested. Needs a cleanup but will do that after wiring it up to the collective base.

I wasn't being critical and I should have elaborated. The Dremel was used to tease out some extra space for the wiring. I started using stripped down Ethernet wire then purchased some thinner 30 gauge wire, which has helped. With so many switches in such a complex shape things are going to be tight. Also used the hot glue for the very purpose you state. Great tip about the glue removal, thanks . As an aeronautical engineer (Rtd) that spent many hours trying to teach myself CAD and experimenting with a variety of software, I can appreciate the time and effort you have placed into this project. To then share your hard work is truly kind.

Amazing work. Keep it coming . Here is the collective as from today. I will attempt the lower half tomorrow. Must admit I would be lost without a Dremel and a hot glue gun.

Finished printing the parts and been rushing about trying to get my list of given chores completed today, so I can start prepping and building tomorrow. The collective base I made is ready and waiting Thanks for the heads up on the trigger section and your support in getting my project going.

That's great work and certainly the spirit. This area needs to be thickened / reinforced as the wall is too thin. Updated the model to have internal posts for the screws and a chap has just printed one out.

Sorry I use Solidworks Connected and that does not give me that option. Hopefully someone can step in and help out. Plenty of downloads but no feedback or shared mods yet

Looking good . Will be certainly following your progress.

If this is your first pit I personally don't think you can go far wrong starting with something like a Bodnar board, a panel and some switches. https://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=94&products_id=180&zenid=ee188672758fed8a3698be8ec8cc8931

The site appeared to be in maintenance. Back up and working now. https://gofile.io/d/95Fmvg
