Intrepid1 Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Deadman; I just found this link for a virtual tour of the A10's cockpit. Unfortunately it is not for the A10c, but could be very nice to use as a guide for some of the instruments that carried over from the first model http://www.nmusafvirtualtour.com/media/072/A-10A%20Cockpit.html Randy 1
Deadman Posted January 8, 2014 Author Posted January 8, 2014 Thanks for posting that is a nice find https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
Direwolf5 Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Ah Ha! :D I was right, the 1TL62-7 is the fire discharge switch and the seat adjustment switch. I knew I had seen them in a picture before. :book: Direwolf5
Deadman Posted January 8, 2014 Author Posted January 8, 2014 Direwolf5 The 1TL62-7 can not be for both the seat adj and the Fire ext discharge It is listed as a (on) off (on) switch the Fire ext discarge switch is on off on the only thing they have in common is the Tab lever. besides I have all ready posted the NSN of the Fire discharge switch http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1952983&postcount=703 https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
Deadman Posted January 8, 2014 Author Posted January 8, 2014 hum I'll give you a 1/4 point there are both switches and they look about the same LOL:doh: https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
michael1982 Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Hi Deadman, i would like to thank you for your effort sharing all your knowledge with us. the metal pit plans you are creating look really promissing!!! cant wait when they are finished! greetings Michael
donbinator Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 DM your decals arrived and are mounted. I'll post a photo on my thread when I get home today. It looks really nice and adds a lot of cool/geek to my cockpit :). The first photo I used for placement didn't have the vertical stripes so I mounted the emergency canopy sticker too high (couldn't put two vertical bars above it) but I *really* don't think it matters, it looks really nice. My 11 yr old son said "COOOOOOL!!!". My wife said "neat." :)
Deadman Posted January 14, 2014 Author Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Very cool thanks for ledting me know. Just a note for guys that wanted cock pit handel combine with their decal orders I am just getting things set up to cast Edited January 14, 2014 by Deadman https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.

agrasyuk Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Cool, thanks for the update DM. I'm preparing to tear down carpet, walls and ceiling in sim room so no hurry on my side. handles and declas will need to wait for new drywall and floor anyways. Anton. My pit build thread .

Deadman Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 I really want to get these handles molded and start casting them this is taking way to long https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.

moken Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Sorry all, i back, my mean I think that 1TL62-7 is not original for fire exting disch and seat up down
Deadman Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) I never said it was as far as I can tell. Your posting of that switch is the first I have see of it. Also as i have previously post . There is no way the switch you list is for both fire exting disch and seat up down. I am not really sure what your point is as I have asked before.

Boltz Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Incredible work. What CAD program are you using to do this? A-10C Cockpit Build Thread My YouTube Channel
Deadman Posted January 18, 2014 Author Posted January 18, 2014 SW why? https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
Boltz Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Just wondered because the renders look very good compared with other CAD I have seen. A-10C Cockpit Build Thread My YouTube Channel
Deadman Posted January 19, 2014 Author Posted January 19, 2014 other CAD in general or is some one else working on an A-10 C? https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
Boltz Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Just other CAD in general. As far as I know you are the only person working on an A-10C and it is looking very nice. A-10C Cockpit Build Thread My YouTube Channel
Mr_Burns Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Hey there are about to be 343 odd A10C retired for the incoming F35 - do you recon there will be more available to the sim market - I remember when we could pick up a BAE lightening for a cost of which space and transport were the only limiter...
Deadman Posted January 19, 2014 Author Posted January 19, 2014 No I don't think there will be any thing released from the bone yard. The USAF has not been selling Aircraft cockpit parts for quite a few years. Parts now for the A-10 are impossible to find and there are several things I am looking for. I think this may lead to a demand for actual replica parts and plans for those builders that want a replica pit of the A-10 on a DYI scale. But what do I know the A-10 community is very interesting guys are spending thousands on CNC routers and lasers with very little information on the complete build at this time https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
