The frame are 200mm*160mm, 35mm thick! Screens 160*125mm VGA connector. Hope u got what u wanted. Strix

MFCD, UFC Monitors and UFC mounted on acrylic. Bad pics as always! :music_whistling:

Rely nice pitwork!! Looks very good!

Cool stuff! If a pipe goes somewhere, connect the pit to it and all is well.

First look of MFCD and UFC in same construction! Made it of acrylic 4 mm. (Notice the full paper basket!!) Gone drill hole for buttons and mount the UFC board behind the acrylic and let the buttons stick out in front. Screens will be mounted behind, and when I get the Cougar MFD I will either mount them in front of acrylic or cut out a hole for them so they get close to screens. For now I will not cut any holes in front of screens, I will see how it looks before I do that. To be continued!

Oboy! Thx fellas!

No, but I know u can make it happen. Go here and read 2 reply! http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=70716&page=4 In this tread u will find a answer i think. Good luck

Hi! Next question. I will by the Cougar MFD pack as soon as I can afford it :mad: Gone take a while... Until then I will build a the upper part of the front with left and right MFCD and mount my 8" screen behind, but I dont know the size of the Cougar inside frame (the hole) so I can cut it out in the front, I don't want to do it to big, so I have to make a new front :doh: I need it measured in mm. Thx a lot.

Got it solved by Slayer in the other tread!! It was all up to the lua file! _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('3 Screen + 2 MFCD'); Description = '3 Monitors + 2 MFCD' Viewports = { Left = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 1280; height = 1024; viewDx = -1; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.25; }, Center = { x = 1280; y = 0; width = 1920; height = 1080; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.5; }, Right = { x = 3200; y = 0; width = 1280; height = 1024; viewDx = 1; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1.25; } } LEFT_MFCD = { x = 1280; y = 1080; width = 600; height = 600; } RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 2600; y = 1080; width = 600; height = 600; } UIMainView = Viewports.Center Now I got the left MFCD in the left 8" screen :clap: Only need to move it a bit so it center in screen. So the only thing I was needing was a good lua file. Its my own fault that I cant do it right from beginning, I have really difficult to learn me those things, I am a big noob when it comes to read and understand things like that. It is so simple if you understand how you do it, but for me its like a travel to the moon.... THX for all help!!

Slayer!! SOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Omg, I love you!! :beer: Now I got the left MFCD in the left 8" screen :clap: Only need to move it a bit so it center in screen.

And I am out of air.... Will try. Thx

I got it now after re-install A-10C! But only on my 3 main screens! For the first time I saw the left and right MFCD on the left and right screen!! With this lua file: _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('MFCD'); Description = 'Left MFCD on the left monitor,Right MFCD on the right and camera on the center' Viewports = { Center = { x = screen.width / 3; y = 0; width = screen.width / 3; height = screen.height; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = screen.aspect / 3; } } LEFT_MFCD = { x = 0; y = 0; width = screen.width / 3; height = screen.height; } RIGHT_MFCD = { x = screen.width *(2 / 3); y = 0; width = screen.width / 3; height = screen.height; } UIMainView = Viewports.Center At least its a progress :)

Thx! Will try it to. Only difference is that I use 3 main screens! I have the whole view from left to right monitor. And the 8" is below the center main screen. I have 2, 19" left and right and a 27" as center. A total of 4480x1680 resolution. I would post a pic, but I cant :mad: Look here, I started a new tread about it......:helpsmilie: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1373893#post1373893

My 3 screens worked fine, I did not use any MFCD on them, only view. I have modified the .lua files my self. Thx! I will look in to it. Damn thing is that I cant switch on my right 8", need a VGA-DVI connector first :music_whistling: So for now only 4 screens is up and running... I do not own a Cougar MFD yet!

Hi there! I have tried to find a answer in a lot of treads, but no luck. Haven't find any with 5 screens. And I have read the guide for multimonitor set up. So I go this way. I do use 3 monitors for screen view, 2, 19", one to the left of my 27", and one to my right of the 27". Now I bought 2, 8" vga connected lcd screens for displaying the left and right MFCD. Sad to say, I dont know how to do it.... I tried to alter the .lua files to match my request, but all I get is right MFCD in my upper left 19" monitor!! I tried to use the original files with MFCD to the left+Camera +right to the right on my 3 screens 19", 27",19" but oh no... I have tried for 8 hours now and I get tired of it..... :mad: I did use Easy Monitor Configurator from IceMaker, no luck My settings in A-10C is 4480x1680, no full screen. I did use SoftTh before, but i tried to go without it now. So where do I go wrong? I post a pic of my monitor setup. May the wings get you all the way.

Nice pit CubPilot! A question. I see that you use 2 small monitors for MFCD. I am gone do the same, but! I cant figure it out how to get the MFCD to show in the monitors... I tried to read the guide to multi monitor set up, but I cant make it work in my .lua file. I use 3 monitors as screens and 2, 8" vga for my MFCD. If you can give me a look at your .lua for the MFCD I would be glad. Or any other help would be nice.

Hi! First of all. I am lost!!! I want to use my new 8" lcd vga screens for MFCD, both right and left. Today I have 1, 27" (displayport) center and 2, 19" (DVI) as left and right screen. Did use SoftTH to get a wider view. All well.... But now I don't figure it out how to config my 8" to display MFCD R/L I stop using SoftTH because I understand that I need to config .lu files for it.... I have the 3 monitors besides each other and the 8" below the 27" in my screen setup in windows. I did use a .lua in my Black Shark, but I did mange to delete the game when my disk died. Now I want to use this in A-10C and I cant understand, how many times I read the help on multi-monitor set-up guide ... sorry.... If any one can help me I will be happy. :helpsmilie: My total screen size when having all screens on: renderResolution=4480x1624

MFCD I bought 2 LCD monitors 8", 4:3 format, VGA, to fit behind Thrustmasters Cougar Pack. I found them on E-Bay 99$ each inc. fright!! So now I will build a piece of the front inc. the MFCD and UFC. I must make it removable, I gone put it in place when flying. So far I have almost completed the radio panels with switches. And a new interface from brydling. I started to use acrylic on top of MDF when building panles, but I think I will use only acrylic in both layers, 4-5mm in bottom and 3 mm in top to hide nuts. That damn MDF is dusting like hell when sawing or drilling in it... As always the pic is bad due to a use of phone camera.... Gone post photos when progress is made.

Take a look at Leo Bodnars inteface to! Expensive but more complete.

You can use whatever wire/cable you like. There is no spec on what kinda wire you gone use. Take one that is easy to bend (soft), it makes it better to install. I use very thin cable. If you want to use different color its up to you :) Dont forget that you use one ground from interface to all switches on same interface! Dont draw one ground to each switch from interface! The sim do not have any problems with the number of USB boards, it is Windows that sets the limit I think. And you can use enough to the whole sim. As I said before, If you gone build many panels, you need more then 4 GP-Wiz!! I use this http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=80201 I use one in left side and one in right side, this means that I only need two USB connectors to my computer! The drawback today is, that they dont support encoders yet, but they will soon. For now I can only use switches on it. And it is a bit more complicated to use. You need to solder DIODS between the interface and every switch if you gone use more then 128 switches from it. So it is a bit more tricky to install. I gone use one GP-Wiz to my UFC so I dont need to draw a cable to my interface. I plug it in on my desktop where I have USB hubs! Hope you got any info that you need. Strix

Before you buy any interface, think of how many switches you gone use!! you easily go beyond the limit the GP-Wiz40 have! They only support 4 units of GP-Wiz40 = 128 switches! I started out with them, but now I use another with 256 switches in 1 interface! Think if you gone use any encoders and whose interface you need to make them work. And a interface to use LED in warnings-panels to.... Hope I make any sens...

BTW. If you mount a 2-4 mm plexi/acrylic with cutout for nuts on top of the board you get a very nice surface to mount the laminated paper on and you don't see the nuts. Not your nuts! The switches nuts....:music_whistling: Tape the wires!!! Soldering is the only way if you want it to hold. :joystick:

Hi! U punch it with a hammer! and then it makes nice round hole. I don't know what its name is in English.... something like hole-puncher. I use a more expensive one http://www.jula.se/haltagningsset-189021 And it is good with center pointer.

You are not the only one...... I look at my pit and cry.....

Good work! Maybe a tip to punch hole in laminated paper! http://www.jula.se/mediaarchive/6096041/main/331375-jpg.jpg I use it, and it works nice! I do not know where u find it in your country, but it cost about 7 € in Sweden. Good luck with building.
