Introducing the DFDT Cockpit Project

Recommended Posts

Yeah K-36DM :)

 

There is a "lumb" missing in the middle on those chute canisters though.

 

Note also that the headrest "block" has a much more rounded profile at front(where the pillow is attached) than at the rear end.

 

Sorry for the nitpicking, but I just spent the last two weeks battling with this seat(in 3D), so my head is filled with these details :D

 

Hi Alfa thanks,

 

i know about the "lumbs" maybe i will add this to it.

The headrest is rounder at the front, see pic

Note that it won't be a 100% copy of the real thing, that would be too much work, for the seat is

very complicated with all it's pipes and wiring and thousands of details.

 

Can you show me some 3D drawings you made?, would be very interesting to see!

 

Cheers!

Yeah given the quality of your work(very impressive!) I kind of figured you knew - just checking :D .

Yup I can see that - it looks great Wasserfall :) .

Yes indeed. Thats also something I am struggling a little with - i.e. what to do and what to leave out, while still arriving at a fairly good representation of the seat as such.

 

Can you show me some 3D drawings you made?, would be very interesting to see!

 

They are not drawings mate - I am building a 3D model of a MiG-29K cockpit, so the seat is part of that :) . If you are interested I can send you a couple of renderings. I am going by photos alone since I have no drawings at all....so a lot of trial and error involved :) .

 

 

Cheers,

JJ

Thanks Alfa,

 

It would be very nice to have some renders!

 

If you need some detail photo's of a particular part let me know, maybe i have some for you.

 

Cheers

Ok I will do some for you - I am also working on a couple of other similar projects you might be interested in, so I will include some renderings of those too :)

Thanks thats very kind of you :)

nice cockpit guys! good luck with the seat. The work is easily underestimated, but it's a great hobby. :joystick:

 

 

btw: Haha I just recognized an item I also considered for my pit. I will go to the 'Action' shop to buy an "aircraft aluminum calender" there for some seat parts :)

Hi Wasserfall,

 

Thanks for answering my question in my thread...Your HUD Box looks a lot better than mine. I cut mine helmetmountedsight out of a 2X4 board lol. Do you have drawnings or measurement for the helmetmountedsight receivers? I would like to add more detail to mine. You did outstanding job on yours.

Today some pictures off the current state of the panel.

 

I tried to have a go on the helmetmountedsight receivers (the boxes with the

mirrors), they are scratch build of pvc sheet with miiror glass inside.

More detail,

Last picture is a try out for the illumination of the panel( don;t tell anyone they are christmass lights:)) nothing definitive yet!

Hi all,

 

A little upgrade on my seat,

 

15573425869_1c3a769c3d_b.jpg

 

Next picture shows the headrest, which was very complicated, and it took me

some time and headaches to come to this result.

Materials i used were: PVC tubes, Wood, Dibond (aluminum sandwich panel).

Still work in progress though.

 

Lots of work left to do:)

 

Cheers

ED i'm ready for it, are you too?

 

As the title says, i'm ready for FC3/DCS Su27 :)

 

My cockpit is at a final stage, only the Hotas throttle has to be implemented yet.

 

Hope you like it.

That is a great job on the Main instrument panel !! I can't wait to see if you finish the side consoles:thumbup:

 

Yes i would like that too, but the wait for DCS Su27 (if ever) is killing me slowly as i age:)

Incredible goog looking Pit, Wasserfall. Seat looks great.

 

Is it gauges in far rightside of the headrest ? What is their function ?

 

It's a kind of analoge clock for deploying the functions of the seat, the dial shows increments in seconds.

Great job Wasserfall :thumbup:

 

I still wonder why you did not populate the left and right sides?

You can do many things be alive using the SIOC and MasterCards, like a "real" SPO, full radar management, full autopilot management, and so much more :smartass:

 

Have you seen that also you can export the MFD on an other screen since the vesion 1.2.3 of FC3?

Thank you for pointing that out to me!

 

But i don't know if i should wait for DCS Su27SM, that would be a major rebuild:)

 

Maraudeur what is the status of your pit? any pictures??

 

Regards,

Unfortunately the stick is on hold for now.

HPO has stopped working on it, we very much regret that.

If we ever continue work on the stick we will let you know.
