kreisch Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Hey Blue, fantastic work, I'm following this thread for several weeks trying to understand all you did.:smartass: Since I try to start the 3d printing also, I'm interested in the way how you "connect" your boxes with each other and especially to the warthog - Maybe you already posted some pictures and I did not see them yet. Is it some kind of "T"-Shape rail? BR, kreisch Ugly-Squadron GamestarPinboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dradecki Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 @Blue73 What is a good size capacity size for a 3d printer to be able to handle a cockpit build do you believe? I'm looking into a 3d printer but I'm afraid of buying something that isn't capable enough. Would something with a 220x220x300mm be sufficient? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Hi, My printer is 200x200x200, everything can be printed in components then glued or screwed together. cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue73 Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 This week I've add text to the AC control panel and some pics of other modules I hadn't uploaded yet. It's a but dusty, needs a good clean. I'll show pics of the LED internals and in operation later. cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foggymind Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Your work is a true inspiration, just one question. You are using 6 pins on the d-sub connections, I can only account for 4 (5v,GND,Data A,Data B) what are the other 2 used for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue73 Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 Thanks foggymind :thumbup: Yes that is correct some are unused, My original bus was, +12, +5, A, B, Gnd, Reset. +12 is used for the cockpit fans. But for the front cockpit I increased the bus to 10 lanes with extra GND and +5V lines interleaved between A and B. I also dropped the reset line, I've never had to use it. The original only allowed me to run 5-6 modules per bus. The new one has allowed me 12 and-counting without issue. cheers John Your work is a true inspiration, just one question.

lesthegrngo Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Am I right in thinking that the HUD would be at best only partly functional? I thought about something similar for my build, but the complications of parallax, and the fact that the HUD sighting would have to be matched perfectly with the on-screen made me realise that it was way beyond my meagre skills to attempt. The best I would have hoped for is maybe projecting some basic speed and altitude data Nice build, just in case someone hasn't said so before :smilewink: Cheers Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue73 Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 Hi Les, Yes it wouldn't be practical, the best would be to butt the main monitor right to where my backbone structure currently is then mount the modules using much thinner material. That would reduce parallax issues. Also couldn't install a small LCD for HUD display as you'd need to "lens" it to infinity somehow. Aesthetically if looks more complete with HUD and soon hood even though I play in VR. :thumbup: cheers John Am I right in thinking that the HUD would be at best only partly functional?
