Dual screen setup / DCS / Helios


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello,

 

I am building an A10C simpit here in the Netherlands, what a fantastic forum you have here for that! I followed RomeoKilo, and a lot of other people sharing knowledge. Great!!!

 

I have however a problem, i can't solve. As listed below i have 2 screens, a 27'' monitor in the front console displaying the MFD's and all the gauges, and a Beamer for the outside view. The Beamer however also display's the cockpit. How do i remove the cockpit view (except perhaps the HUD) from the "outside" view? I don't need the cockpit view as i have everything in the 1:1 sim

 

 

Thanks!

 

Arjan

 

 

Setup:

DCS A10C

- 2 monitors, 1x 4K beamer and 1x a screen behind the front console, later

expanding to 3 beamers and curved screen

- Helios

- DCS-BOIS / Arduino's 2650

- "Real" left / right and front consoles

Pictures of the first panel. Spend a lot of time working out the correct laser settings. The material is 3 mm acrylic, top sheet milk white and the sheet below opaque.

 

Cutting acrylic: speed 10 mm / sec at 80..100 Power @ 60 Watt tube

Engraving: speed 200 mm / sec at 50..50% Power @ 60 Watt tube

 

Sanded the panels with Grid 240 sandpaper.

 

Cleaning with an anti-static agent -> this is really important!

 

Spray paint, 4 layers. Very light sanding grid 1000 in between.

Hi Arjan,

 

 

do not engrave so deep in the acrylic. It's more original if you just come through the paint layers and then so much that the acrylic is roughened. Try it out. I use 250mm/sec and 5-6 Watt for the best look.

Helling,

 

Thanks! That’s great advice! I will try that tomorrow. I have never seen a panel in real life .

Yes, some pictures....
Very Nice, thx for the pictures. This will be also my next step. Currently I play with the Arduino and try to get run 7 Segment and 16x2 Display.

Are you using a Max7219? Is it working? Smart to start with the electronics, the most difficult part in my point of view...
