weeb Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I built a lot of the infrastructure using Dimebugs plans which are awesome, once or twice I've come up against problems that don't work out mathematically, sorry, i'm anal about accuracy. Firstly I am not going to put Dimebug down as I would never have started without him. I have a question tho, maybe DM can chime in without quoting his sig, just tell me what is the width of the console incline and decline. IMHO I think they are too narrow. Don't say buy my plans, I started building this months ago and your plans weren't even in the offing then and are still in the ether. If I have to buy the plans then I will, but I was looking at how far out I am and do I need to start from scratch or can I do a damage limitation here.

JCook Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 weeb I think you meant 145mm for that width dimension in your drawing, not 1450mm. Big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeb Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 Thanks Cookie, spot on, typo there. Cheers bud. Ratcatcher, I have this horrible feeling that I am going to have to redo the side consoles. That CMSP panel did make my bollock drop as I realised the only way to fit it into the space between the risers was using "Schwarzschild's field" or Event Horizon whereby if I spin it faster than the speed of light it becomes smaller. Gotta try that lol. :thumbup: Windows 7 64 Home Premium, i5 3570K (3.4 @ 4.4GHz), Asus P8Z77-V LX, 16GB dual channel 1600 ram, EVGA Nvidia GTX980ti, 240 GB OCZ SSD, 3 TB Raptor, Thrustmaster Warthog Hotas and Throttle, Saitek Pro Combat Rudder pedals.

Boltz Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 The real CMSP and warning panel are mounted on spacers which are then connected to the console dzus rails. Getting everything to fit in the CMSP is a problem when using an LCD, maybe try finding a smaller one.

JCook Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 weeb Which dimension are you trying to determine - the width of the EW panel or the height? The standard width of a Dzus back plate is 5.75" wide. I believe the acrylic "text" plate that sits on top of it is slightly smaller 1/32" on all sides. If you have accurate console dimensions for the Dzus rail and accurate panel dimensions things should align properly. If one or both of the console / panel dimensions are not accurate you'll have a alignment problem which is what you've experienced. Hope this helps.

Ragtop Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 He just wants to know how wide each section of the console is. Flat section (CMSP, Caution panel, CDU, AAP etc) and the angled section (Elec Pwr, Environmental, Lighting etc) I'm guessing the width from the outside edges of the mounting rails are the required dimensions. 476th vFG Alumni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeb Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 Thanks cookie, Anton,Callum and Ragtop, between the 4 of you, you have answered my question. I will have to expand my rails or shrink my lcd. Bottom line is I thought the 20 x2, would fit and would solve the 4 space extra space issue but I guess i will have to go 16 x 2. It's a problem, but not insurmountable. To Deadman get your head out your arse, 4 understood, you didn't allegedly.

I think with windows 10 they will go down that route (free for a year shit) but we can only wait and see. I remember Adobe going offline for 2 days because of a DDOS attack and people were up in arms because they could not access their work. Hence I use Autocad 2014 (it updates to 2015 anyway) and CS6 all on DVD here, both programmes do exactly what I need so there is no point in upgrading.

weeb Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Cefs thats an excellent link. Don't be offended in the slightest when I say what I am going to say. For me at 56 years of age, I'm sure Babbage stayed next door to me :) My dad wrote Cobol and Fortrans for BP and ICI so I got into computers when a modem was the size of a small domestic table. Dad used Turbocad, now thats why I stayed away from Cad programmes, God, it was horrendous. I had never used autocad until Anton said "Give it a go" I was more used to knocking something up on paint. I am a great believer in not reinventing the wheel. It works for me, draw it in DWG, save it as DXF, stick it down the network to my laser, job done. It's a tried and tested, I remember many moons ago when I had to assign ram memory locations just to get a programme to work but thats another story.:thumbup: Windows 7 64 Home Premium, i5 3570K (3.4 @ 4.4GHz), Asus P8Z77-V LX, 16GB dual channel 1600 ram, EVGA Nvidia GTX980ti, 240 GB OCZ SSD, 3 TB Raptor, Thrustmaster Warthog Hotas and Throttle, Saitek Pro Combat Rudder pedals.
