Arjan Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 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
JG14_Smil Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Alt F1 is the no-cockpit view. You'll have to edit your MFD positions too to keep them from showing up on the main screen.

Arjan Posted September 21, 2019 Author Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) Yes, some pictures.... Edited September 21, 2019 by Arjan
Arjan Posted September 21, 2019 Author Posted September 21, 2019 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.
Heling Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 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.
Arjan Posted September 21, 2019 Author Posted September 21, 2019 Helling, Thanks! That’s great advice! I will try that tomorrow. I have never seen a panel in real life . Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk
Muts Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 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. Gesendet von meinem SM-A750FN mit Tapatalk

Smart to start with the electronics, the most difficult part in my point of view...
