Well from what I can tell, the buttons to the left of the throttle are no use in DCS and as said by someone else I already have the panels behind it in my simpit. Also, it makes it very aircraft specific. Lets say you made a stand alone throttle you 'could' make interchangeable throttle tops for different aircraft, once you have an F/A-18 base then its an F/A-18 forever. A bit like the Stick, if Thrustmaster ever got around to making the F-18 Stick (or any other) the gimbal is just a gimbal and non aircraft specific you can attach the new Stick but their throttle is always an A-10 Throttle. I just think you could make a stand alone throttle then perhaps and additional panel so you can buy it with or without you may get more sales?

Does your website have an English language setting? Looks to be some nice stuff on there.

That is very tidy, nice work!

Love it!! Nice work.

I just moved in November and its nice to have some space, there is a room I haven't really been in yet! Problem is with a new house comes lots of additional jobs from the wife and these jobs don't come cheap either.

This looks awesome, I really want the Throttle without a panel though, is it modular?

Get the design right as in design to manufacture and get the Chinese to manufacture it. God bless our Chinese brethren foe low cost off shore manufacture and cheap electronics.

There was a program for the F-15C called something like MPCD or something like ultra mfd. (http://qopru.com/mfcdfc3/) And Capt Zeen used it: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=138409 It may help but I havnt used this since Lomac days.

Awesome!

Ordered!

+5000 for GR4 although still in service in Saudi. Cannot believe such a beast was only sold to Saudi outside of the partners, would have thought countries would have been queuing up for some twin engined, multi-role swing wing goodness. Best plane every!! But I helped build them so biased much....

Nice, are those milled on a CNC?

Thanks Blue, just ordered some, will give me something to try when they rock up!

Added the inputs i am going to use, the internal lighting panel will probably be a beer holder. Pictures are a bit shit, must be the man flu I am suffering.... Need to do the Oxygen flow and fire test and I think thats it for now. The rest will be just photos until I need to implement them.

Any chance a kind member would visit ebay.com.au and point me at a MAX487 - they seem to be $15 for a single chip when the bloody nano is only $8.

Try posting in Input and Output, I’m not sure if they venture in here but there are a few sim tools users.

Nice work, what holds the collective in place, friction?

No VR for a while for me. I just want to understand what builders are thinking when they wire up panels with Bios, put switches on everything regardless of its implementation or select only the ones the simulator uses.

And today I started the Right side panels in a production line! I transferred the Natops to Corel and tidied them up before turning them back into PDF and printed. These are not 100% accurate, they are NATOPS at about 400%. Cut them out and drew around them onto acrylic. Cut them all out with a scroll saw: Prep for drilling: I did the same with the backplates and used the front plates as guides so they all line up: And finally all three together: I was going to carry on but I dont want to wire everything up if it isnt all used. However, it can be easily added later if it becomes functional. If you take out I wont be backlighting my pit so I dont need internal lights, are these the only controls needed: As far as I can tell only these are working

I moved house and now have a room! So I have started to do a bit more work on my 'Pit'. I am working on the front panel, I have a touch screen that will sit in the middle of a monitor and contain the UFC, the HUD panel and armaments and the Moving Map Display.

That is awesome!

Nice one, two 3D print threads to make me want a 3D printer! Has anyone worked out how many Nano slaves you need for each side or do you just plan on using one per panel regardless of filling the Nano up?

Developing over 1 year, little information....don’t leave us hanging man!

Is anyone supporting UltraMFDC anymore, I found it much easier than fiddling with the lua myself, especially with 3 screens! I know nothing about programming but is it open source or is someone able to take up the mantle to make it F/A-18C compatible?

How easy is the slew mod as a complete mong at things?
