Thick8 Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 I had a pair and sold them when i switched to Helios. Now I'm building a pit and will be reaquiring a pair. I downloaded the tech drawing from Thrustmaster and it seems that the screen size is 4.25" square. Is this right? I was thinking it was bigger.

docfu Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 I thought the same thing because I always thought they'd be like 8" square from looking at the pictures, but in real life, they are small and just look big in the game because they are close to the pilot...
Deadman Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Yes they are little girly MFDs not the manly size an A-10 deserves and need to its work :) 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.
Thick8 Posted May 6, 2014 Author Posted May 6, 2014 What is the size of real MFD's? These do look puny.

cichlidfan Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) DM will have an actual answer, but IIRC (based on drawings that should have been close), it is only about 24" from the outer edge of one MFD frame to the other. The cockpit is pretty narrow. These people sell some that have a 5x5" display. http://www.pdt-usa.com/color_crts.htm Edited May 6, 2014 by cichlidfan ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!

lxsapper Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 They are the very much spot on real size. Real size F-16 MFDs, the A-10C's MFCDS are bigger, but those are not what the TM replicates. They are useable in a pit but.... :) A-10 MFCDs replicas would be so much better! ;)
