bnepethomas Posted January 25, 2022 Author Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) its getting a little closer - the Open Hornet project makes this so much easier - pretty much 12 months since it started to get serious Edited January 25, 2022 by bnepethomas 2
agrasyuk Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 Great looking MIP Anton. My pit build thread . Simple and cheap UFC project
Deadman Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 Looks great thanks for posting cheers https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
bnepethomas Posted February 23, 2022 Author Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) Finally lit up the backlighting (both Max7219s and Pixel Leds) along with UFC and general indicators. A major thanks to the Open Hornet team for sharing the plans. Edited February 23, 2022 by bnepethomas 3
Deadman Posted February 25, 2022 Posted February 25, 2022 wow!! Looks Bad ass https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
bnepethomas Posted March 7, 2022 Author Posted March 7, 2022 Getting closer - finally mounted the stick 4
War_Pig Posted March 7, 2022 Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) How did you/will you deal with the stick travel range? On the RL/DCS Hornet it seems the pitch axis is asymmetrical; will you limit the forward travel somehow to prevent it from crashing into the AMPCD? Edited March 7, 2022 by War_Pig

Funnily enough I've discovered I need to bring the stick closer towards the seat as I can't place the rear support rail across the pit. That may help a little - but I think there will end up be a 'please be careful' list when a newbie jumps into the pit

Krikee Posted March 30, 2022 Posted March 30, 2022 Looks amazing and great attention to detail. Am I correct in the assumption that the MIP is all/mostly Open Hornet and the side consoles are from the Dogfight Boss plans? I checked and did not see any left or right console plans in the OH repository. Cheers!

Its very much 100% Open Hornet - I did actually start with the Dogfight boss pit - but then moved pretty much entirely to OH. The pit started as a bit of a quick and dirty, but then I disappeared down the rabbit hole

I presume you had/have access to pre betta manufacturing plans for the OH side consoles? I actually want to start my pit with the left console initially for space reasons. I just cant seem to locate them on the OH repository on github. I also joined the discord server for OH yesterday and from what I read, the side consoles are still very much a work in process, so maybe I just need to be patient. (not my strong suite) thanks again!
