falcon00 Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 UFCs and other sim parts as well. Excuse me if everybody knew about this but I just found them randomly. http://www.simparts.de/en/homecockpit/a-10c-warthog-en.html I purchased their UFC and it works awesome. I'll be buying more stuff from them.
cichlidfan Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 I think many here know about them. I do and I am not a pit builder. AFAIK, they are very nice and quite expensive.

AvgWhiteGuy Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 Nice stuff if you need it but WOW..... outrageously expensive...just look at the part "Switchguard for toggle switch on-on-on"....not even a switch, just a cover http://www.simparts.de/en/sicherheitsabdeckung-guard-fuer-kippschalter-on-on-on-en.html $66USD.......what is that made of Unobtainium!!!!! I can buy that here in Shanghai for ¥18...that's about $2.75. These people must be used to selling this to the US DOD! I'm planning to build an AHCP panel with a bracket to mount it to the Thrustmaster MFCD if anyone is interested. It's not the exact placement but at least it avoids another keyboard stroke and fits on my desktop.

AnthonyD5189 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Cool stuff but man it's about 5x more expensive than it should be.
falcon00 Posted March 31, 2016 Author Posted March 31, 2016 I look at it from the standpoint of how long would it take me to build this stuff vs. buying it. Answer: It's WAY less cheaper to just buy it even at these price points. I mean, who is their competitor? Is there anybody else offering this stuff for cheaper?

Answer: It's WAY less cheaper to just buy it even at these price points. I mean, who is their competitor? Is there anybody else offering this stuff for cheaper? Did you look at the prices of their gauges? A single gauge is around $270 USD. You can find them for way less than that. Now I will agree that I will never get around to building my own stuff so if I wanted something I'd have to go with completely pre-built and so far this is the first place I've seen offering that. So I guess IF you have the money go for it. But at $62,000 for full set up....that just seems too much.
paulca Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 In a few years you can probably buy a whole A10 for what it would take to build out a full cockpit.
