agrasyuk Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) it looks like it is actually happening... I've been working on a bit of a side sim project for a few months now. actually on a huge project... perhaps even the Ultimate sim project. At the moment I am on a trip to Texas, getting to see it in person - T-38B trainer. The plan is to make this plane into a dual-seat F-5E simulator. some of you might be following the progress on FJP discord. if all goes right I will be part of the team that gets to work on it. I get to design and build the visuals and the avionics I get to measure things in preparation. plywood is not going to cut it for this project, I'm gathering my senses to work with sheet alum.

Don't sell yourself short though, you are making some great stuff. Here is a fresher picture for you I'm taking a short break from building to learn how this contraption I built flies and finally get some enjoyment from it . Joined a virtual squadron of a-10c drivers and doing some training. I'm the number #3 on that screenshot. Somehow managed to hold it steady long enough for the lead to snap this picture . Almost looks like I can formation Your pit is done so well, I will never reach this kind of perfection. Looks like a very big "side project" you startet. Can you share the discord link.

agrasyuk Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 built a center console and mounted Stream deck. now it should be much easier to work discord during the missions + get's me some quality of life. DZUS panel mount enclosure for the Deck The squadron uses encrypted Comms for the most part so I banged up a KY58 panel. waiting for paint to dry before the next layer, then engrave. While I was on that side I built the "enable thrust reverser" panel. it's 2022 I'm sure the newer planes come equipped with USB chargers 1 Anton. My pit build thread .

Bucic Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Ah, so this is the beauty you've been probing with a tape measure? Nice project.

agrasyuk Posted September 8, 2023 Author Share Posted September 8, 2023 Hi Bucic, my biggest effort right now is trying to put myself back together. this spring-summer was a very strange time in my life. I didn't turn on the flight PC for about 4 months. I think I'm over myself and slowly getting back, even flew a training session with my virtual squadron As for the project I can share this little bit: 3 Anton. My pit build thread .

Bucic Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 @agrasyukAh, yes, the 'myself' is the most important assembly In this day and age a 2-week lack of self awareness on own state of mind or personal matters may slide into a costly situation. All the best to you! I'm kind of lost in your threads since they span 6 years or so and I've just discovered them. I've noticed you used a laser print on paper laminated in office lamination pouches for panel letterings. Have you tried matt ones (matte???) insted of the regular shiny ones? I think they might look better but that's just my hunch. Do you still rely on laminated panels or have you moved to another process? https://akaagar.github.io/briefing-room-for-dcs/ F-5E simpit project https://forum.dcs.world/topic/318106-f-5e-simpit-cockpit-dimensions-and-flight-controls/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
