nobrot Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 The parallel lines need to have that area pocketed out in cnc terms or in traditional woodwork they would be rabbeted/rebated. OK thanks, any idea what depth? Real world pilot, budding virtual world hog driver... My Build Thread http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1855253#post1855253

nobrot Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Anyone heard from y2kiah recently, still looking for the final cad files for pront panel and pedestal! Real world pilot, budding virtual world hog driver... My Build Thread http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1855253#post1855253
lxsapper Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 You can probably use the files from Gadroc, may need some adjustments, but should give you a starting point.
nobrot Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 OK thanks, will look into it... Real world pilot, budding virtual world hog driver... My Build Thread http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1855253#post1855253
JCook Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Question about left console The lines in the CAD drawings are where components are cut. There is an extra line in the left-side console in two of the pieces. If you cut both those lines you'd just end up with the smaller piece. Can anyone explain these "extra" lines?
Sabre-TLA Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) It's not a cut line but a rabbet (at least that's the way it worked for me). It holds the board that your throttle attaches to. I'll post a pick when I get a chance. Here is a rabbet joint for those less woodworking inclined: Here is how it looks on my pit. It's rock solid and works great!

y2kiah Posted June 25, 2014 Author Posted June 25, 2014 Hi guys, sorry I've been an absentee for a while, but I still stalk every now and then. I'm intending to post my front console files and get some of the minor issues with the current files fixed up. It motivates me to get them done knowing that somebody is waiting. I'll check back in soon to post the front module.
Devon Custard Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Anything you post is going to be greatly appreciated. With all the pit builder here im still amazed there isnt a complete set of drawings for panels. The frame and seat seems to be done to death but panel drawings are sparse. Major kudos to those who do post them.
JCook Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 y2kiah I CNC'd the right console from your plans about 18 months ago - then I put the A10 on hold to build an F16. I do plan to get back to the A10 this Fall - I'll wait for your CAD updates. Thanks for getting back to these great designs.

Major kudos to those who do post them. DC, I don't think its to surprising. While some might use the panels as is i don't see too many using standard DZUS rail. So modifications of some sort are required mostly. my set of CAD drawings for example will be useless for almost anyone, for my needs y2kiah's set was only usable as general reffeence . same with framework, I will need to roll my own to fit my limitations as far as seat plans I'm not aware of any other set then Flim's and those are not public domain (not that I have problems paying money for things like that) Y2kiah, welcome back :thumbup: Anton.

Maybe we will be able to collaborate on some projects this fall, hopefully I'm fully situated and done with mandatory house project prerequisites by then. :) Anton. My pit build thread .

JCook Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Anton Yup - we still need to get together. By the way there is a very good set of ACES II plans that have been out for a while - John

Width and height would save most people a lot of pain.
Deadman Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 y2kiah has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space. tried to send you a PM can you drop me a line before the week end? thanks https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
y2kiah Posted July 12, 2014 Author Posted July 12, 2014 I cleared out some messages so my PM box should be able to accept some now. IIRC my rails.7z file, released along with the plywood plans, includes the dimensions of each panel on the left and right as a simple wireframe outline. I'm 99.9% sure that all of the panel dimensions are accurate, because I did a lot of crosschecking with real A-10 photos and not necessarily the sim itself. I also have several real panels for reference including a AN/ARC-186, which is the most commonly "oversized" panel that I see others design, because ED did not get the height dimension right, so screenshots will throw you off. Anyway, thought I would mention that since it might help someone.
JCook Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Y2kiah - do you have an overhead canopy frame for your design? also is your rails.7z available in a WinZip file format? 1
TraxusIV Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 Can't wait to see the center console plans. Almost ready to start my build. :) Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful work with us, y2kiah. :) If you disapprove of this post, please feel free to give me negative rep.

Bazooka Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Just coming back into the fold after a long hiatus and been doing a lot of looking across the forum at all the great work thats been done by folks. Seems like y2kaih's pit is the pit of choice for a number of you.....found the post where the files could be downloaded but seems like the links are working. Can anyone tell me if those files are still available?
Gadroc Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 I think I have them stashed somewhere. If not I can recreate from my cad files. Might take me a few days.
y2kiah Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 Yeah sorry about that I switched web hosting providers and lost all of my screenshots in the process, thinking I have them stashed somewhere else though. I still have the dxf files from the released plans of course and will upload them to my new server. I'll try to get the rest of the screenshots back if possible to get my thread back in shape.
