As one of your poll options says, I don't really see a need for it :)

 

I think this would sort under "Tech discussion", but we could make a sticky thread in this section specifically dedicated pit building projects.

Just a question, and purely theoretical, but, how would say...

 

"Sharing blueprints for a modified akers-barnes cockpit" or "this is how I made my ejection seat" a "Tech discussion"

 

I am just looking for a cockpit specific repository for information....

Not sure I understand your question :)

While I dont disagree that sometimes it can be "technical", I was more looking for a heading under the main forums list for "Cockpit Builders" or something of that nature....not something buried under another forum...

I think he's saying put it in "tech discussion." Like people do now when the buy new rigs & bits. A home pit certainly can be categorized as a technical component.

 

Yes I agree :) .

 

The "Tech discussion" area is for all things hardware - including game controllers(HOTAS, TIR etc) and in my book a home built pit would sort under the latter......although in an advanced form :) .

Well the thing is that the sub-sections are there to "channel" subjects with a lot of traffic away from the "General Discussion" section, because they otherwise would tend to dominate this area.

 

I can understand that people with a special interest would like it to have prominent place on the forum, but in my opinion pit building is not "big" enough to warrant a separate forum section.

 

Just my opinion though :) .

Here is a great example of an fantastic pitbuilders forum:

HoverControl

It is all helicopter related, but it serves as a great example....

I don't think just a sticky will do it justice. I believe a new section, like the tech discussion forum, would be nice. There are do many questions people will have about pits that i dont think one thread will be enough IMO.

 

Sorry, just my 2 cents.

DCS Wishlist: 1) FIX THE DAMN RIVERS!!! 2) Spherical or cylindrical panorama view projection. 3) Enhanced input options (action upon button release, etc). 4) Aircraft flight parameter dump upon exit (stick posn, attitude, rates, accel, control volume, control-surface positions, SAS bias, etc). 5) ADS-33 maneuver courses as static objects. 6) Exposed API or exports of trim position and stick force for custom controllers. 7) Select auto multiple audio devices

13 to 4 with 2 in the middle ..... looks like there ARE some cockpit zealots BESIDES myself that might be interested.....Hmmmmm...:)

Wasserfall,

 

I have seen your pit...and the thread detailing it....and let me say that I refuse to read it ANY MORE!!! :D The pure ENVY I have for your project gives me knots in my stomach

 

"....WHY!? WHY?!?! GOD Cant I have an AWESOME panel like HIS!!! ...."

 

LOL, actually...your work serves, along with the great work of many others, to inspire me to continue to work on MY pit....I can only hope that one day....Mine will look that nice...:pilotfly: :music_whistling:

Hi, I am agree with that, if you go on the http://www.checksix-forums.com , you will see that Lockon drives more and more crazy or fool guys like me to our wives' nightmare !!! : a full cockpit in the bedroom !!! So why not opening a new cockpit builder section and like he said, if not enough "life" in this section, then close it and transfer it to the tech subforum... it is my opinion tough... Best regards и до свидания друзей...

A pit building yes sure it would be cool to read and see the stuff but than to have a dead thread probaly no.

I'm going with 3d modeling for now and when ill get rid off the girlfriends and cats to make a pit, it should be easy than.

For now a ive got a design in theiry though a pit with moving parts and every thing which i cant do.

I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.

SPECNAZ!!! You crazy frenchie! Where have you been hiding!! I know that you say that you have been "working on the house..." but WE ALL know that you have really playing in the pit....:P

 

Sorry Off topic!!...LOL

i love the idea of a pit builders section, we have some great stuff to go in there straight away, eg:

 

show your pit pics

 

multi screen setups

 

touchscreen setups

 

virtual panel + touchbuddy setups and eg: custom lua configs ?

 

trackir positioning for projectors

 

lua export data discussions.

 

make it and they will come :D

thanks ED for doing this, great idea.
