Good job ragtop!!! Like you any more now :beer:

Great Ragtop! I could use 1.....:helpsmilie:

I don't know if this is useful, but here is a site with a lot of electronics. http://uk.mouser.com/ And how the hell do you use helios to assign switches to it. I am so lost with it. The manual is not helping me...

dimebug! Excellent work!! Wish I could do it to....:( Is all your knobs and rotary working??? I made my gear lever of an thick aluminium profile that I bend with great force... Then I stuck it true the wood and made a solution in the back using a bolt to hold the leaver, I used some rubber spacer to make it hard to move! I control the hardness if I loosen or tighten the nuts. I use a on/on switch that goes in a hole in the aluminium leaver with a o-ring to make it smooth. I had to mount the switch very close to the bolt or the movement was to big for it. Look at pics! sry for bad quality of pics! Sry Ragtop! I am still lost in space when it comes to read and learn. Need pics and drawings :D

Yeah! Great work! Nice safety harness's to so u don't fall of the seat!

Your wiring is much nicer then mine! Mine looks like a child have done it :helpsmilie: And me a noob when it comes to pots! How do you do it? What do I need? I use a GP-Wiz40 usb board! And I can use a joystick on it. You know any tread that make all clear for a noob?

DrStrix Is my name in WoT

BTW. Here u can see why I cant build more then 1 side of pit. Maybe I can build right side if I make it shorter and smaller... BTW. U see computer under my seat!?!?!? :surrender:

Ok. but I use the laminated paper to cover the nuts!! I make the holes smaller so I don't see the nuts. The pic is crap, but u may see it any way :megalol:

Why do u not change place with the MFD´s? Noticed that u did countersink the nuts, so u get the right high on the switches if u change! Only thing is that u need to cut out bigger holes in lower part so switches fit. Like I did. :D

Finally I fund your tread...:music_whistling: So u did use MFD to panels to? A bit thick maybe? Else it looks good! Keep the panels coming :prop:

Heheh... I did not rush with mine! Only worked on it every second day at most :cry: I use GP-Wiz 40! And I have 3 of them now!!! But I DONT use any potentiometers, because I don't know how to....:helpsmilie: I would like to use pots, but I need help to do it.

MFD is no god when it is to thin! As the stubs! It will crack, so u need to drill for screws. (big enough!!) Else it will separate. i did screw BESIDES he stubs, down in to framework with long screws!! sry for my late reply! Look at pic! One thing is for sure, u don't need to open up as big hole as I did if u use MFD!! Then u can fasten the screw in the "stubs" if u make them bigger! If u use alu/steel rails, then u have to use a thin panel! If u use plywood, u can use thicker panels! And hide the nut! I did use 2*7mm ply, when the lower one is for fasten in frame and the upper one is for switches. And then I fasten the upper in lower with small flat-headed screws... I have almost finished my left panels! Everything behind throttle/sas panels, is only paper pics! And i did put the elec pwr panel on left, besides landing panel, because I cant build the right side yet! And I want the switches now... Probably gone do Air panel to over elec panel...... for now...... I am out of switches and money :mad: I even bought some turning-nobs and fasten them in where they would be :music_whistling: Looks better then some uggly drawing of it.

Nice work linden! Keep it up!

Thx avlolga. Sorry, cant provide any site for that. I live in Sweden:)

I did use wood! I used 2*7mm plywood. Then i cut out holes for switches in the lower part and made some 2mm holes on upper part for nuts!! So I don't see them when putting on a laminated paper on top. Will post my latest pics... I almost finished my left side consol. I even made a Landinggear switch :D And due to it being a landing gear I stuck a radio-controlled airplane-wheel on it :pilotfly: My biggest problem is that I use my computer to a racing to, so I cant make it as low as it is on drawing! I increased the height by 150mm due to my seat is on top off my computer!! So I cant go lower :doh: So I will NOT build the front of pit, its in the way for racing... Maybe I will half the right side, or I gone have problems to get out of my seat... Need to move it... My desk is about 900mm over floor so I got some limitations to everything. Of course all holes on top is countersunk with marginals to fasten nuts whit a tool! Deep is about 2mm and hole width is 20mm for 12mm switches and 12mm for 6mm switches! A switch is about 7-8mm in high, so you need to make sure the tread is enough up on top so you can screw the frigging nut on it. Underneath i make the holes as big as the switches base is. About 30mm on big switches and 16 on small. First I did saw out a frame, but that was no good, better is to drill hole for every switch, then you got a sturdier frame!

My homework!

I say u guys r so totally in to it that I get stunned :pilotfly: I wish I would do anything like that.... So far I attached my X52Pro on my chair on each side of it. But I just ordered a GP-Wiz40-Eco USB Controls Interface to start my build of panel. :book: Great work guys!

Same crap here and the file u gave don´t work either. Strange! Mine did work fine until yesterday! Then, suddenly it lost it! And now I cant get it back. Edit: For some reason my USB hub could not cope with it anymore. Put my stick in computer USB and then it works :) I did disconnect my hub every time I don´t use stick and pedals, so it don´t interfere with other games. For now it´s solved!

U don't need profiler. And I did have 1 Cyborg and it works well! Stupid question, but do u click in right column?? Can u see the stick in control's?? Or is it only keyboard and mouse?? Got no other help for u, sorry.

Nope "Can set mouse to different controls, but not use it as mouselook! Whatever i do. Can't use scroll buttons on mouse. Only get a static cockpit window. Only way to look around in cockpit is POV (not pow=prisoner of war!! hehehe...)

Thanx for swift reply! Yep. Cant get any to work with mouse. I cant control view with mouse, only POW or keyboard. And if i type alt-c on keyboard, i first get a cursor, second time, no cursor and no movement, third time, a cursor and nothing else. Of course can i move the courser when its there. But i don't use joystick to use alt-c! Only keyboard. And I cant set any assignment in controller setup! If I select a key combination in Mouse and try to click a button in Add Assignment Panel, on my mouse, nothing happens! I only can use Keyboard or joystick except for clicking on buttons and knobs. As for now, I must use POW to look around, and use the mouse to click on switches and knobs, and thats to slow. I need to look around with mouse and to click on everything in cockpit.

I cant assign my Logitech G9 mouse in controller setup. I want to use click able mouse look (alt-c) and it will not work. If i press alt-c on keyboard in cockpit, i can't look around with my G9! I use Logitech SetPoint software and that don't help. I use Windows 7, 32bit My joystick is a Saitek Cyborg V.1. Not much, but a good center position on it. No deadzone! Does KA-50 not support G9??
