I think belsimtek might have just eyeballed a bunch of stuff when making this model back in the day so all the measurements are off. Hopefully we can get more accurate irl measurements in the future.

Madpie Posted December 8, 2024 Posted December 8, 2024 (edited) Great work. I guess all I have to do is add 5mm on either side of the seat which probably wouldn't bee too much of an issue when lining it up in VR anyway! Or should I leave it the same as the dcs dimensions, so that everything else lines up? I'm quite stoked it's actually so close to reality. Edited December 8, 2024 by Madpie 1
Madpie Posted December 10, 2024 Posted December 10, 2024 Also, does anyone know the answer to this? If you needed to eject, do you have to pull both levers or just one? 1

If you needed to eject, do you have to pull both levers or just one? For the few seats I've seen procedures on the case was for both handles to be actuated, often implied to be part of the routine for correct body position for the ejection process. Lessons from the last months: 1. In case of atypical rotary switches consider altering the panel labels instead! 2. Never bother with component sourcing on platforms which do not have the specific filter implemented. I'm afraid to even sum up the number of hours it took me to finally buy rotary switches that are indexed in 45 degree increments. In the process I bought several high-grade thin-shafted Grayhill and COLE rotary switches by mistake. Their operation is heavenly satisfying but they are impossible to mount with aviation label panels. 3. If working at a working dad pace always mark your sourced switches with the intended position in the cockpit.

Bucic Posted April 12 Author Posted April 12 (edited) Flat 3D printed labels trial. Printed labels down. This is the smaller of the two sizes that are used throughout the cockpit and is 3.5 mm high. Not bad for a 0.4 mm nozzle. Obviously the final print will be done on a smooth printer plate, as opposed to the standard textured one. Now, if only I remembered what I have decided to do to unify the real panel with the crooked panels traced from the in-game cockpit Edited April 12 by Bucic F-5E simpit cockpit dimensions and flight controls Kill the Bloom - shader glow mod Poor audio Doppler effect in DCS [bug] Trees - huge performance hit especially up close
