Fair enough, i don’t think you are wrong, i was more on about learning to program every weapon on the F-16 (for example) or landing an F-18 in proper carrier patterns on top of weapons and navigation, now dont get me wrong, I wouldn’t change it or fly a dumbed down version, I might pick up those jets again if the dynamic campaign works well but I can’t fly often enough to join a server and be proficient so it’s SP only for me.

I am the same, I am getting a bit overrun with all the complexities of the jets, take my hat off to the pilots but to be honest they dont spend 8 hours a day writing contracts then try and learn to fly in their spare time. I actually wanted a module like this in DCS because I dont like MSFS, it never seems right. The DCS World always feels authentic and whilst I dont doubt this will be a complex beast looking at the cockpits, MFDs and those Data Input panels the A-10 has (sorry forgot the name MCDU??) I like the idea of learning to fly a Herc, my mate was a Loady on the C-130 and he always used to say "low and slow is the only way to go" spending 6 hours plus transiting from the UK to Cyprus or wherever I didnt agree with him!

Perfect, nice work!

Hasnt this been asked and told repeatedly its a Steam issue, they dont do pre-order?

Your garage looks high enough, the door is the problem! Sounds like a good idea to have the roof removed, wouldn’t want all the avionics outside when finished. is the plan to enclose it then? Did the sim originally have a roof and walls, windows??

Wow what a difference, looks good! why are the frames different around where the door would be (one tube one bar, egress assistance?

Just a note on that file, I printed the first one to test it and it might be flex or my poor design but the screen easily slides in the top but not at the bottom so I will need to cut some off it. Also, its nice and sturdy, but used a 3/4 full vat of resin just for the left MFD, part 1 of 4, might be able to hollow it but I think the weight will hold it as a free supported desktop. I also added some steps to glue them together but still need to put holes in for the usb and power cables from the MFD and Screen. Small update here but note its NOT got holes for usb and I have NOT increased the gap for the screen to slide in. Cheap screen I have is a BNZTRUK USB 3 from ebay. RHGS for printing.stl Right MFD.stl LHGS for printing.stl Left MFD.stl

Wow, not seen anything like this since that member put a Tornado in his unused indoor pool, but then stopped posting. Will be an epic build, thank you for posting, will keep watching!

Hey I am working on this, I am very green to Fusion and 3d. My idea is to create this that a basic USB3 ebay monitor slides into, monitor I have is about 27cm by 19.5cm but thats irrelevent right now. Its printed in 4 parts but I am yet to join then for gluing but thought I would share my weekends work anyway, if anyone is interested and wants to improve or make changes, please share them. I thought I might be able to reduce the center 'gap' and make the screen capable of doing the right hand instruments but doubt that will work with the angle of the screen, also room for a small RWR and the screen for the F-16 UFC, maybe the right hand panel could fit a Frankenstein UFC in a workable position? But just something to add, Autodesk Fusion free. Thank you. Left Hand Glare Sheild v29.f3d

You might get better chance of response on the home cockpit thread. I don’t know the answer but wouldn’t it be almost as quick just to load the different bios each time in full, wiping the last one? Arent they dirt cheap? I bought a lot of them when I was making my F-18 and don’t recall them costing much? Will post you a few if you are in Australia, I know not everyone has the same budget.

I am new to fusion and any design program but have chosen fusion. Does anyone have a file which can import the Thrustmaster MFD dimensions, I know Sketch Up there used to be a library of pre-designed parts you could just import, wondering if this is possible in Fusion and if there is a repository somewhere of pre-designed parts? I can measure it myself and will have to rely on that if this function doesnt exist, could probably also cut it out of some of the already available 3D prints with the TM MFD incorporated but thought I would throw it out there on a quiet thread! TIA for any information.

I found this, it seems the UH-1 has a different part number to the 222 but its very similar, I think they confused it on Reddit so whilst its less likely to get an affordable 222 replica as there are probably fewer flight simmers (possibly only MSFS model it) DCS will have brought a lot more simmers for Huey but its probably more popular anyway due to its Vietnam heroism:

No I couldn’t, but that’s the top end, you might be able to find cheaper ones, maybe search a few pictures and see if the Huey is close enough, with the Huey DCS module there might be a DIY Huey page on this forum and the owner might help. There are others which is just the stick that plugs into a generic base, not sure I have ever seen one for Huey if that’s the closest stick. BTW, my son works at a Charity Home for Cerebral Palsy, I think they must have very serious condition as he has to bath, dress and feed his residents, they take them out to the beach and for ice cream and coffee depending on the weather but they certainly can’t play flight sims, if I come across anything than needs 3D printing and you have a certain joystick base I can try and help, I haven’t used my printer for anything yet as i am awaiting the space to make a fume extractor, didn’t realise how toxic resin printers are!

Hey mate, it seems to resemble the Huey stick from that angle, there is a Huey one here: https://www.maxflightstick.com/products/huey-2022

Did you make that large MFD controller yourself? I read win wing sell one but doesn’t seem to come up on their Australia sales.
