talisman Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) This will be one of my first posts on this forum but i need to let you know something. I am also in the building process and like you i am also using Leos boards. You are using 32 combinations of buttons - but did you know that you can also use the HAT functions in the game as well? I have been able to do this very well. If you use the games own configuration screen, it will allow you to set functions using all of the HAT directions as if they where just more switches. POV_HAT_LE becomes a functionable switch. :D Try it. Suddenly you will have 36 instead of 32. :) I know how important those last 4 switches are.

BaD CrC Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) Talisman. You are the greatest. Thank you so much. My four missing buttons on the left console are not working. Just one restriction though, when they are connected on the track hat, only one out of four can be 'ON' at the same time. So ideally, we should use the track hat only with momentary switches. But that was a great tip anyway. Thanks. Edited May 14, 2009 by BaD CrC https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaD CrC Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 Thanks guys. These comments is a great help. I finished the right upper panel (the one with tons of switches) and I am building the stand for it, but I need more medium to finish it. I'll probably post some new pics Monday or Tuesday. Then I will start to wire it. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaD CrC Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 (edited) Hi everyone. OK, here are a few pics of the right upper panel. It is not wired for the moment (I will start this week probably). I also need to add a few things like the ejection seat switches guard. A step closer. Note the blue bottle beneath. It's a tad too high so it's hard to see from the seat position.

BaD CrC Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 Hey, I just got those cheap (less than 5 euros) USB lights that I painted black and coated. It will do I think for the cockpit lighting. Ah, by the way, I edited my first post so you guys can have a general view of my pit status. The SHKVAL display is working and recognized as a secondary monitor. I just need to figure out how to make it work in BS. I attached my cougar as you can see and finaly, I think, even without Urze's extension, the height of the cyclic is more or less OK. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwinn Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Wow...just wow. It is an amazing pit. I showed my wife this and she said "oh crap you want to build that?" lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swetrekki Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 what? where have you been hiding all this from us, or are you the fastest builder in the world? Looks amazing and i like the idea with the usb lighting, simple and it works, GOOD JOB! I wouldn't dare tell my wife, that's why I'm building in modules ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stelios2000 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 can you please tell us where you bought these indicators(these 9 indicators are located on top left upper the round instrument place) ??? i am looking for them some time now...... your pit is great... hope mine lookes like yours....... thanks stelios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeroscout Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Awesome job man! May I ask how you did the labels? Thanks Aero DCS Wishlist: 1) FIX THE DAMN RIVERS!!! 2) Spherical or cylindrical panorama view projection. 3) Enhanced input options (action upon button release, etc). 4) Aircraft flight parameter dump upon exit (stick posn, attitude, rates, accel, control volume, control-surface positions, SAS bias, etc). 5) ADS-33 maneuver courses as static objects. 6) Exposed API or exports of trim position and stick force for custom controllers. 7) Select auto multiple audio devices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaD CrC Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 Lol swetrekki, I did the same with my wife, building modules by modules so she just started to realize how big work it is. @stelios2000, if you mean the small black rectangles indicators, I bought them at opencockpits then painted+coated them. You'll need A LOT of them. @Aeroscout: I just used Inkscape for the software and my black and white laser printer on 160g paper. Once printed, you need a coat of varnish like the one used for paintings so your toner stays on the paper. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAT_101st Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Great work and so fast too. As for the stick I found that it is needed to have the top of the stick even with the botom of the Schval. Other wize you will have to be leaning forward to reach it.

BaD CrC Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 Well, I don't have the seat yet, so it was just a feeling, but if you say so, I am worry now. Moreover, I am 6ft2 so I don't want to break my back flying it. True that if you are looking at the cockpit in the game and on real pictures, the cyclic is hiding partially the weapon control panel. Maybe I should look for an extension then.... https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwinn Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 How will you get the digital picture frames to accept a video input from your video card? I have been looking at this as well and I am not sure its possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on Triggerhappy's drawing, 9" seemed to me the best fit.

I didn't take much holidays last year and as a result, my company forced me to take all the leftover vacation days I still had. I ended up with 6 weeks off in a row.
