Sorry for the mess, but I did it for myself and didn't care about naming. Do what you want;) and if someone is interested, 
I designed in Freecad, I also have source files, I can share them.

OK War_pig  .This week can be hard, we have National Holidays in Poland,
 but next week I will try to stabilize my files, 
If, of course, Jself agrees , for example for DDI or for AMPCD and I will show how 
I did it (some little tutorial) and upload files to my Google drive, :) and share, however, 
I apologize in advance for the mess in the naming of the files are mostly in Polish, but the content will tell you what it fits.

Understand me well! This is not a complete set of files, These are just my modifications,. 
The right files were provided by Jself and look for links on the 1st page of this topic. 
The only thing that is mine from the very beginning is DDI. The left one is the same as the right one. 
If I find the time, I will drop an AMPCD, which Jself did not make but bought :)

I got the last couple bugs worked out and the panel mounted. Its 100% functional and I'm very please with the way it turned out. Its definitely not a 1:1 Hornet replica, but it's close enough to get all the controls within reach in VR..exactly what I intended. I"m working up a parts list and documentation. I'll post links to those just as soon as I get them completed. Again, shout out to Brun for inspiring me and providing the UFC design for this project.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

you wouldn't happen to have the files for the decals for the dials and gauge's?

no..  I just used screen shots form the game and some stuff I found searching google and used MS publisher to size them correctly.  The clear is just some clear plastic sheeting I got at Hobby Lobby and cut with scissors

Mission accomplished !
Here is my execution :) It works 100%. Let me just say this, I did not expect that playing in this cockpit would bring me so much fun!
Not to mention 6 months of enjoyment while building this plane. That thrill of impatience when I finally sat at the controls of the finished cockpit for the first time.
I wish you all the persistence in building your own.

Finally, a BIG THANK YOU to Jself for inspiration, stl files :) and giving you a general direction. 
Today I am ready to build the next cockpit and I think it will be the BF109 K4, which I love since the first time I started flying it with the il2 Sturmovik :), 
especially since I was building this one with a view to modular replacement in a short time with other panels. 
In fact, it takes me about 10 minutes to demonstrate these panels to pure construction. It can be fun if I build more cockpits :)

@Eldritch, I'm just now noticing the mods you made to the side consoles as well, several of the changes you made on yours look amazing.  

You wouldn't possibly be willing to share some of those, would you?  Specifically, I would love to use your landing gear panel and emergency jettison switch, rather than having to source the great big Square D pushbutton.  If not, I understand but thought I would ask.  Thanks!

ETA:

@Jself, do you have the files you used to print the switch caps for the small switches, like the landing light, flaps, and launch bar on the left vertical panel?

My printing is pretty much down, now I just have to find a cabinet shop willing to cut up some MDF for me for the consoles themselves, and start wiring it up.

Thank you!  I would specifically love to use your Jettison selector, so that I have a red button with the word "JETT" on it, and don't have to source another $15 Square D Pushbutton from eBay.  Your landing gear panel faceplate also looks awesome.  Love your mods, thank you for sharing them!

[Mverick1971]

follow you on youtube

can you please give me a parts list on witch button or encoder or toggle to put where i have te WW throttle 

and can you place them like on the photo Buttons Full layout 

also attached a blank one

tnx in advance

Great work @Jself. Can i ask from what Material the grey Mounting Plates are? I mean the plates where the UFC Panels are mounted on. Is that Wood?

 

Best Regards

Hey there,

first I want to say awesome work! I just started the build of my F18 simpit. Goal is to get everything mounted on my DOFreality motion platform.   Any chance you are willing to share some CAD raw files since i have a CNC and would like to cut some of the panel there. STL files are not the best source for CNC CAM. I also would like to do some slight modification to better fit for CNC processing. 

once again awesome work!

cheers,

Kufi

Where are the files

 

[jared-h]

does anyone have the cad files for this so i can see how to assemble

[bobslob]

Might be a silly question, but has anyone made a list of required switches/toggles/etc? almost done printing, but i cant find the list.

I made some handwritten notes during assembly, but mostly I studied the cockpit layout drawing referenced above and determined what switch was appropriate for each location.  I went a different direction in that I found a number of switches that really needed to be 3-pos instead of two in order to simulate the Hornet properly.

If you have some familiarity with the cockpit and functions of each switch, it’s not too difficult to determine what’s needed.  I sat down and spent a few hours planning and then tallied up how many of each that I needed to order.

I’ll answer this: the MFD’s Mount to a stand-off profile with 4 screws, which then mounts to the panel.  Pretty simple easy and strong.

[jared-h]

I was able to get a monitor working inside. After some redesign

Thank you very much, i did not know that the Screws in the MFD where just rubber placeholders.

Could you tell us, which screens you ordered and the modified Stl?
I was thinking about getting these screens:
https://www.ebay.ch/itm/383816726346?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=5222-175126-2357-0&ssspo=--kMz5qMSj6&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=Bm7ip74zSTe&var=652176698869&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
And just cut the X shape in the MFD Mount Printed Part.
Still thinking about how to modify the AMPCD file to fit the screen, did you modify that aswell?

Kind Regards
Evilfisher

[jared-h]

I used CLAA070MA0ACW 

i will submit stls soon after i test both the right and left side (probably before this friday) i wouldn’t recommend just cutting out the x in the middle i tried that and it need some further design 

in my design I basically removed the x and all the internal screw mounts and made wire channels for the night/day brightness switch i also made mounts for the screen so you can easily line it up the mods are simple but functional.

 

[jared-h]

here are the first edition of stsl i will prabably further edit them they are crude but they work(havent tested the right side
