RAZBAM_ELMO Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Would be interested in how you end up doing the pcn. If and when you start let me know I'd like to stay in the loop and work along with you. Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane.

matbog Posted January 26, 2017 Author Posted January 26, 2017 I don't know if you are aware of that but a french guy, Exo7, developped the Mirage 2000 library for DCS Bios: http://www.checksix-forums.com/viewtopic.php?t=192389 He has done an impressive work! Apparently it is not finish yet because of the beta status of the Mirage but you can try it.

RAZBAM_ELMO Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Oh I meant how you plant to build the panel. For my mix pit I'll be making an a10cdu and adjacent to it was going to put the PCN.

ausflyboy Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 WOW I'm looking at doing a Mirage III pit so will be watching closely :)
matbog Posted January 31, 2017 Author Posted January 31, 2017 Great!!! It is not the same dashboard at all on the III but it will be a pleasure to see such a pit! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My Mirage 2000C Pit construction 3D model of a Mirage 2000C Cockpit 3D model of a Martin Baker Mk10
ward8124 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Love this pit already and really refined! Can I ask what screen you're using for the MFD so I can implement the same or similar for my own pit? EVGA GTX1080TISC2 Black Hybrid Cooler, Asus Strix X399, Water cooled ThreadRipper 1920X, Dominator 32GB 3200Mhz,NVME Samsung 250/500GB SSDs, Corsair Air 740 case, Acer Predator 34' Gsync curved display + 3x Alienware 23inch 120hz monitors.

matbog Posted January 31, 2017 Author Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Thanks ward8124, Glad you like it. The screen I am using is not just a screen but a hybrid between a PC and a tablet: Pipo X9. My pit is a modular pit on which I can attach different module: a steering wheel and a pedal box for racing simualtion, a yoke, a lever box and a rudder for General avaition simulation, my unfinished A-10C dashboard and soon my Mirage 2000 dashboard and lateral consoles. You can see the whole construction here: http://www.checksix-forums.com/viewtopic.php?f=286&t=170180 For my A-10C dashboard I attached some VGA and USB screens on it but I had to modify the display configuration on my PC when I plugged or unplugged it, which is not very handy. So for the Mirage 2000 I have the Pipo X9 which will manage its own screens for the VTB (Radar screen) but also another screen fo the SERVAL (RWR ). The SERVAL screen will be connected via the HDMI connector. The DCS export (VTB and SERVAL) are send to the PIPO X9 via the IRIS software which is really awesome (A big thank to Gremlin77 and whartsell !!!!). The PIPO X9 will also manage DCS Bios for the others instruments. This architecture allows the dasboard to be connected only by an Ethernet cable (or wifi) to the main PC and to make the plug/unplug operation very easy.

ward8124 Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 OMG that extrusion set up is exquisite! I'm looking to do the same for my seat too so it's level and accurate not mention steady! I've a touch screen PI3 so may look to use DCS exports or BIOS if I'm man enough! Nice job bud very nice indeed!

matbog Posted January 31, 2017 Author Posted January 31, 2017 Thanks again! Yes, aluminum extrusion is really nice to build with: very easy to assemble and extremly solid. I buy mine on Motedis internet site. It is the cheapest I found. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My Mirage 2000C Pit construction 3D model of a Mirage 2000C Cockpit 3D model of a Martin Baker Mk10

Duckling Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Looks great matbog, Love your focus on details You plan to project the HUD image through the scope ? /Gus - - - -
matbog Posted March 21, 2017 Author Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Thank Duckling! I designed the HUD in order to ba able to integrate a screen and a mirror inside but I am really not sure to do it. The first reason is that my cockpit is a modular cockpit, I can play DCS but also other flight simulator or racing simulator. So the dashboard can be mounted and unmounted. A real HUD must be tuned realy pricesely to be precise when you aim at a target for exemple. So if I realise a "real" HUD I will spend lot of time to place my dashboard really precisely each time I want to play DCS and it will not be very handy.
