Guppy Posted July 25, 2018 Author Posted July 25, 2018 Monitor madness!!! Far left ones are not mounted yet. Just making sure they all work in addition to the touch screen (far left closest to the camera). My Simpit Progress and Update Learn how to build a SimPit like mine: Follow my Blog here!
matbog Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 I really like the design and the compacity of your pit. Nice job! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My Mirage 2000C Pit construction 3D model of a Mirage 2000C Cockpit 3D model of a Martin Baker Mk10
dFlow Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 glassy / classy cockpit :D What are those touchscreens exactly ?
Guppy Posted July 27, 2018 Author Posted July 27, 2018 Thanks guys! there's only one touch screen display and it will be used as a UFC link here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/HDMI-LCD-Controller-Board-8-800x600-EJ080NA-05A-AT080TN52-Touch-LCD-Screen/201038627356?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Everything else are 8" or 10" monitors. https://www.ebay.com/itm/HDMI-LCD-Controller-Board-With-10-1-VVX10T025J00-2560X1600-IPS-LCD-Screen/202277884113?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 My Simpit Progress and Update Learn how to build a SimPit like mine: Follow my Blog here!
Guppy Posted July 28, 2018 Author Posted July 28, 2018 She's completed! I havent had time to configure all the monitors yet. I'm still waiting for Ikarus to be updated with the Hornet. Additionally, I'm leaving on vacation and had not had a chance reconfigure my monitor setup. Waiting for the VT50 Throttle to show up before I set the warthog in without the throttles. Right now I just placed it on top of the left console. Enjoy! Sides will come eventually and a glare shield for the main console.

Guppy Posted August 5, 2018 Author Posted August 5, 2018 Here's an update with me running the Hornet. Everything is looking good so far. I'm still trying to figure out how to move the chat box and Radio menu to a different monitor - but I've had zero luck in that department. My pit also comes with a cat. Sides will eventually be sheet aluminum, but wanted to get the LEDs in there first. My Simpit Progress and Update Learn how to build a SimPit like mine: Follow my Blog here!
LynxDK Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Does the cat assist with take offs? Haha... my guess its a Catapult seat :P Regards. LynxDK [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Instagram
Guppy Posted August 6, 2018 Author Posted August 6, 2018 Haha - lots of trim is required for takeoff when he is there. My Simpit Progress and Update Learn how to build a SimPit like mine: Follow my Blog here!

dFlow Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 for me the nicest and most useful simpit i've seen so far ;) very well thought-through it seems!
Guppy Posted August 23, 2018 Author Posted August 23, 2018 Thank you both for the nice words! I'm been working on a glare-shield.

agrasyuk Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Looks like a very comfy workstation for simming. Good job! Anton. My pit build thread . Simple and cheap UFC project

Guppy Posted August 24, 2018 Author Posted August 24, 2018 Fusion 360 - great choice! I used it for all of my design. I've already started planning on building an ejection seat! Going to mimic the ACES II. Won't be 1:1, but it will be close. Decals have been purchased for the sides I just put up. Gonna do some weathering on it today, potentially.

Guppy Posted August 24, 2018 Author Posted August 24, 2018 Did some weathering on the side panels. Now I'm just waiting for my vinyl decals to arrive. I also painted where the canopy would close down black. All and all it's looking pretty good minus the lack of an ejection seat. I'll need to talk to my wife about appropriating some funds!

Guppy Posted August 28, 2018 Author Posted August 28, 2018 You can map them to anywhere you want. Just change where they are and set the XY coordinated.

TechRoss Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Time to build an ejection seat now... Anybody got a seat in Fusion that they are willing to share? I would love to build a seat but not to do a full cockpit.
