Lars Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 WIP! Complete panels in 3D will be available soon. I will upload pictures regularly with the dimensions I am working with. Please help me correct the errors for a more accurate product. All the panels will be uploaded in STEP file format for everyone to use. Kind regards Lars. 1
Lars Posted March 18, 2015 Author Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Some more work done on the front side of the panels. Need some adjustments. Working on extruding the backside and add the mounting plate. STEP. file included for those who are interested.LEFT CONSOLE.rar Edited March 19, 2015 by Lars
Lars Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 Today's work: Fine tuning panels on the left side of the cockpit. Designing some of the rotating switches. Still much work to do as you guys can see. I don't know if people are watching this post, but I will continue to update it and share my work. Hopefully some will find this useful. And again, please correct my work if I'm far away from creating something useful. -LarsLEFTLEFT.rar
AdrianJ Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Lars great work, keep it up. I'll be watching this thread with great interest.
MFG62 Joker Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 nice work! I´m not really into this but like your idea of sharing! Kudos!
hoel6466 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Nice! That is awesome. I was going to do this myself awhile back but couldn't decide on a control scheme so the project went south. With my CNC router getting closer to reality and DCS-BIOS this will certainly come in handy. Can't wait to see the rest of it. Thanks!
Sabre-TLA Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Looks very good! Keep at it! MapleFlagMissions - Read Our Blog for Updates
Lars Posted March 21, 2015 Author Posted March 21, 2015 Thank you guys for the feedback, really appreciate it. My plan is to use Oculus Rift or Valve/HTC VR (whatever comes first) combined with the cockpit. Best of two worlds? Do you guys think that can work? If so it will be the best experience IMO. -Lars
hoel6466 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 It would work if you could use something like Cast AR that can give you the VR view but still let you see your cockpit. Otherwise there will be a disconnect with not being able to see the cockpit.
Lars Posted March 21, 2015 Author Posted March 21, 2015 I got DK2 myself, and placed my Throttle and stick to mach the position in the virtual cockpit. In that case it worked very well, I cant see my hands tough but its a strange feeling when your hand connect to the throttle and stick.
Lars Posted March 21, 2015 Author Posted March 21, 2015 Some progress on the left console. I will also try to replicate buttons and share the 3D files with you guys if interested?
MA_Goblin Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Great work, absolutely interested in this :-D Thanks for sharing.

Lars Posted March 22, 2015 Author Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Need a break from the left side panels, so I started on the right side... Here is some work in progress of the INT EXT LIGHT panel with some knobs. Please look at the STEP. file provided and give me corrections if I'm way of. -LarsEXT IN LIGHT.rar Edited March 22, 2015 by Lars 1
AdrianJ Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 These are absolutely fantastic so much detail, hats off. Top notch work.

Lars Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 The CDU with keys will most likely be done today. All the panels that are shown in this thread (so far) are not 100% finished or true to the original panels. But I am doing my best to recreate them as good as possible with the information I got. Again, all feedback and help from you guys are very appreciated! - Lars
Bucic Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) A praiseworthy initiative. Do you work in 3D studio?

Lars Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 Thank you very much. Autodesk Inventor is the program I am using. My goal is not to be the only one benefiting from these drawings/models. I will also make DWG. files for those who want to create or modify the panels to their own needs. 1

Lars Posted March 23, 2015 Author Posted March 23, 2015 Started on the CDU! Adjustments need to be done and some details are missing, also think I need to make the buttons smaller... What do you guys think ?CDU.rar

vicx Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 This is beautiful work. I really love things that are solid modeled. Someone could take these STEP files, shrink them down to scale sizes and 3D print perfect tiny wittle controls for a scale model. Accurate to the switch. Come to think of it, how small could you make a fully working pit :)
