molevitch Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 The door is approaching completion. I have to adjust the frame though, annoyingly… Bolts and levers, bell cranks and cables, door piston and spring catch all modelled. 6E815012-DFFC-4C04-B59E-24125EDDA26B.MOV SCAN Intel Core i9 10850K "Comet Lake", 32GB DDR4, 10GB NVIDIA RTX 3080, HP Reverb G2.

molevitch Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) Wow! It’s been a while since I posted here! The year has flown by, and real life has been keeping me busy. But I have still found time to work on my pit with some new developments, and some upgrades to the older parts. Currently working on upgrading the cyclic magnetic brake and trimming system using 3D printed parts to mount linear actuators and electro-magnets, new better quality slide rails, more suitable bearings etc. Modelling the whole thing in Fusion 360, and currently trying to 3D print a flexible boot for the cyclic base. It’s a 24 hour print, so fingers crossed. The gimbal is a mix of aluminium extrusion cut to shape and 3d printed components, and I am following the structure of the authentic Mi-24 cyclic and connectors. A major tidy up of wiring harness and connectors for this is anticipated, with 3D printed mounts for relays, wiring runs etc. An R60 Controller box has been added. Glare shields have been rebuilt using aluminium sheet and massive flat head rivets, Mil pedals have been finally integrated and have functioning micro-switches, and a damper to hold position and control turn rate. Oh, and rotor brake has been implemented too. An authentic JADRO is a work in progress to get it to talk to DCS-BIOS.... The dashboard has been rebuilt and a new Map-Box also to correct some scale errors which were messing up a lot of other aspects.

werwolf12 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Amazing work mate. Is there any chance that you could share 3d model or at least dimensions for lights that are over most instruments ( CB-2 ) ? I cannot find them anywhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
