Alex104 Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) Dear all, happy New Year and Merry Christmas! Today, I would like to share my result and ideas regarding self-made home cockpit of Su-27 (connected to DCS World 1.5 of course!). I know not to be a pioneer in the approach, but would like to mark up these particularities and advantages related particular to my version: 1) cost/quality ratio is rather high - mainly due to low cost of materials used (wooden panels, cardboad printings. So I've paid about 40 USD (in Russia) for all these stuff (excluding hardware of course). 2) workload - more than moderate. Construction was made within 3 days just by myself with some help of my family members (like hold a panel while screwing nuts for example). 3) assembly appeared very compact and even portable, due to folding method of panels mounting (hinges). So, by following videos you can evaluate what I have as a result - alsmot "real" home Su-27 cabin, which allows me to master flying at 1:1 visual scale with "native" Su-27 environment! Don't hesitate to ask questions if any. [ame] [/ame] Edited January 3, 2016 by Alex(104) 1 Летное училище кибер-авиации =ЛетУчКа=

TOYKILLA Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Nice Job. Only the side Panels looks a little to big in my Opinion. Where did you find the pictures for the cardboad Printings?

ineth Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 http://www.aircraftparts.skynet-aviation.com/ac_sale.html I bet there are airforce junkyards in Russia. I would suggest a flashlight and a screwdriver visit but this is the Greek in me. The German in me says Get some Votka bribe some folks and make it happen. Keep us posted Greek/German origin. Flying sims since 1984. Using computers since 1977. Favored FS's:F/A18 Interceptor, F19 Stealth Fighter, Gunnship, F16 Combat Pilot, Flight of the Intruder, A320, Falcon 4.0, MSFS 2004-X, DCS
Alex104 Posted January 4, 2016 Author Posted January 4, 2016 Thanks to everybody for your kind evaluation! Where did you find the pictures for the cardboad Printings? In one of old cabin mods. Basically, they were not in ready condition, so I had to adjust them first. Летное училище кибер-авиации =ЛетУчКа=
SVK_Daniel Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Excelent work Alex. What did you use or how did you create Perednuju pribornuju panel:ZK ekran 27.Is this software like helios or what is it? THX
streakeagle Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Nice pit! You did a great job. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Helipilot92 Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 I am with hopes of making a bare bones cockpit shell to accurately place the hotas, I have been hunting the web to try and find pilot placement configurations and really have no luck. I want to make a 100% VR sim, thus eliminating the need for an ascetically pleasing cockpit. The main purpose I want out of it is enough strength to bear the weight of me leaning on the sides to look behind me and a slightly modeled cockpit and just above that is where the VR sensor will be mounted. Holy hell is this going to be expensive.
Alex104 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Posted February 11, 2016 Excelent work Alex. What did you use or how did you create Perednuju pribornuju panel:ZK ekran 27.Is this software like helios or what is it? THX THanks! Front panel is created with 27' monitor installed behind the hard panel. Panel has kind of windows (holes) in it to let gauges be visible through them. Yes, it is like a HELIOS software, but actually it is its analog, programmed (coded) by myself. Like helios, it draws and moves arrows and lamp indicators according to the sensor data which are received by export lua method. Летное училище кибер-авиации =ЛетУчКа=

Zpigman Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 Thanks to everybody for your kind evaluation! In one of old cabin mods. Basically, they were not in ready condition, so I had to adjust them first. Is it possible to share the images you used? I am trying to get together a simple pit like this, but am not having any luck with figuring out the scale of everything.
