Flim Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) Hello all, I have been very busy working on an Aces II seat kit. The Kit is all cnc'd . I will have 2 different kits available next week- the F-16 and A-10. I have a new website store that is secure, and I will be able to receive paypal payments. I will soon post the web address and other info next week. I had the first Demo seat cnc'd yesterday and currently testing the build. The kit will be a quick build and I will have a builders instruction guide in my forum pages. After the seat is all complete I plan on designing A-10 cockpit and parts along with a room friendly f-16 tub. I look forward to serving and producing affordable home simulator parts. Next week I will post my website which will contain pics and more info about the kit. My business is located in Little Rock , AR USA Thanks, Cannon ScSimualtions products Edited April 28, 2009 by Flim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hannibal Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 are you planning to selll controllers? i.e split throttle , A-10 Hotas, etc... find me on steam! username: Hannibal_A101A http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969447179 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flim Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 I wish that would be possible, but my goal is producing cnc'd products. That is seats, and cockpit structures. Also , I will have seat cushions and different smaller parts for the pit. I will leave the controller making to the pros. I plan on producing a full tub for the a-10, plus the side consoles and main instrument consoles. The seat is first and foremost and I hope you will like it.

TooTubular Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Best of luck to you. If my financial predicament changes, this kind of deal would interest me a great bit. What kind of longevity do you expect this to have? Obviously you would hope for indefinite, but were the sales lower than expected, could you still keep shop open? (ie: Low maintenance costs and no need for volume to continue to have access to the CNC) Just curious as to how long I would have to save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flim Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 Well, I hope it will last a very long time. I'm using MDF for the seats and to my knowledge and experience the seats will last forever. If you do ding them, they are easy to putty and fix. I'm thinking about using birch wood for the cockpit tubs, but I'm still working on different solutions. I use three separate companies for my cnc work, so if one goes out of business then I have backups. I have a website mostly finished and then I'll publish other info about the A-10 and F-16 seats. Thanks, Cannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HitchHikingFlatlander Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Great stuff your offering pit builders an A10 pit would be awesome to say the least! http://dcs-mercenaries.com/ USA Squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flim Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Yes, I will be making A-10 seats, cockpits, and parts. My website goes public on May 1st. My goal is to make this hobby easy and complete as possible with cost in mind for normal people. More info and pics very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flim Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 I'm looking at making different products for my company and I'm wondering if any of you would be interested in the Blackshark cockpit structure and seat. Dims will be close as possible and I would make the cockpit where placement in a corner of a room would be no problem. I'm thinking about producing engraved backlight panels as well. The cockpit would have all panel slots pre-cut and would be ready for panel install. All parts will be made by a professional cnc machine. I'm just running through ideas and wondering if there would be any intrest in such a product. I'm not sure on prices , but around 250 for the seat and 400 for the pit would be an estimate. Panels would be seperate. You will be able to wire the cockpit and switches with the PHCC- you can read about it on Viperpits. Phcc can wire anything and make the pit work. If there is any intrest, I will get to work in cadding and build a proto-type for you all to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrsteensen Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) Well, the A-10C Cockpit that was seen at Thrustmaster's E3 event is available here: http://www.scsimulations.com/store/products/A%252d10C-Flight-Entertainment-Device.html We offer replica ACES II seat cushions that combine the best features of 1st gen ACES II cushions (OD Green) and the Black lambskin ones. http://www.scsimulations.com/store/products/ACES-II-Replica-Seat-Cushions.html We are working on some very new stuff. (A fully modular flight gaming station.) A few months ago, Sheldon made a functional HUD - for 300 dollars. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vH_9KCv4GI I'm currently working on a panel or standalone based adaptor to plug a military flight helmet into your PC to make the headset in the helmet, and microphone in the oxygen mask fully functional.

jrsteensen Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I forgot to mention we are capable of doing full acrylic and aluminum aircraft panels for simulators, between the CNC router and the laser engraver. We do currently offer the F-16 set, and working on the A-10C set.

636_Castle Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Oh what I'd give to be able to get myself a centerstick setup hehe. Those are some sick looking seats. You should put some harnesses on there! Just for fun! Lol [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] How To Fix Your X-52's Rudder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flim Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 I'm currently working on a stand alone Aces II seat with stick mounts. This will be our entry level product that you can set in front of a desk, monitor, Large LCD, or projector. IT will be similar to the ACES at E3, except will be mostly aluminum held together with flush and round head rivets. All seats will be pre-built and painted gray. I should have the newer version in a couple of weeks. Lastly, we will hopefully have a pre-order for the TM Warthog and ACES TM stick combo's.
