I’m going to start trying to do some videos on what I’ve done so far. I’m thinking about taking each panel and doing a video series. One panel at a time. Something on a 1st Grade level.

You just need a proper ejection seat and you'd be fine.  And white vinyl for your throttle grips.

...and AFCS panel, but in VR its a bit off size.

You've made it out of proportions and your switches are a bit smaller too. You need all 1:1 size and placement for perfect VR feel.

It's still great if you ask me

Finally got these wired into PDCP...

I'm assuming those are interlock switches? Ive looked into the interlock switches, but they all seemed small. Do you mind referencing which one you used?

Will you share your cap design?

Hi,
Currently I am trying to make my left side console panels, but I cant't find some panel sizes. I see the width is 5.75" to all panels, but the heights are missing. I have done an inlet ramps/throttle control panel and AFCS panel, but in VR its a bit off size. I have no info for ICS panel, tone/volume control panel, com/nav command control panel heights. I will be really glad if somebody can help me with that info. 

 

Hi, If it helps I've taken dimensions from the panels in the game based on the fact that the width is 145mm. They may be a couple of millimetres off from the real thing, but without access to actual panels it's probably as close as I can get myself.

Also if it helps the standard panel width is 5.25”

Have you considered putting them on Cgtrader.com for money at least?

I have reworked the textures and geometry to exactly replicate the F14 heatblur cockpit for VR.

I'll be releasing the full plans and instructions in 1-2 weeks so everyone can build their own F14 cockpit.

Tools required: inkjet or laser printer, exacto knife, large ruler (1m or 3 feet), 5mm (3/16 inch) foamboard, hotglue

Material cost: ~ $50-$60

Build time: 4-8 hours

 

 

Here are my PDF files for printing the panels on paper. Size: A4 (Europe)

Thank you

So this happened.

You can see what all it replaced here

@LASooner

Man, that is so great. Any chance you would share your plans / files for this? 

This is definitely a wet dream come true. For this I would immediately stop my work on the TEDAC.

I want to take care of some of the issues I ran into and had to manually fix, but the plan is to upload them all to Shapeways and make them downloadable, currently the HUD filter handle is already there as it worked exactly as expected. I'm not putting any markup on these so if you have them print them you're paying the price they charge. The quality was really good though. For that price it better be.

All of them will show up here, and if you click on the Handle that's already there you can see at the bottom of the page you can download it.

I tried a new technic: 2 layer of 3mm plywood, and 1 layer engravable foil, cutted and engraved with diode laser. (Because diode laser can't cut white acrylic).

Parts:

Push Pull Switch For HUD Filter

Long shaft Potentiometers for VDI pots

Standard pots for HSD Brightness

Momentary Push Buttons for VDI Filter and Bit Test button

LED bulbs

Plexiglass Red

Plexiglass Clear

Plexiglass Black Opaque

No Detent Rotary with push Button for Course and Heading knobs on HSD


Used a brother P-Touch Label maker for the caution lights laid on top of the plexi, using this tape.

Silver Knob Caps for pots and rotarys

Sandable Primer|

Krylon Fusion Aluminum Paint  For Base Coat

Metallic Grey  second coat

Metallic Red for Trim Knob

That is so great and generously. Thank you very much

First holy crap that looks amazing.

Second - holy crap thats eye wateringly expensive to print at shapeways.

 

I was going to try other vendors but I cant find the download button from your screenshot.

Had the same problem, you need to register with shapeway and lock into your account then

Absolutely superb, Sooner.  Many thanks.  If you ever put a tip jar somewhere for this work, please link it here.

And for those wondering if they can do this in a basic printer volume: remove the back panel (by deleting the wire support bodies) and you can fit both panels in the basic volume of an Ender 3.

 

[Lt_Jaeger]

I did a quick check, 3 days of printing for one box (including supports bottom down.) 

 

Still couldn't figure out how to mount them on my setup, but will work the problem soon. 

 

I'm trying currently to convert the obj Files in something I could edit in fusion 260. For the HSD it works quiet well, the VDI is more stubborn.
