Deadman Posted March 10, 2016 Author Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) The first original black sheep skin seat cover I have was made by Conrad. The one I just picked up and cleaned up is an Oregon Areo and it is more comfortable.

7rooper Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 I'm talking about the cushions only! I checked the prices here and the bottom cushion only is $1600 http://www.coastalseatcushions.com/F16.php That's why I'm saying that's too expensive for me My rig specs: Intel Core i7 4770 @3.4Ghz // Corsair 16GB DDR3 // MoBo Asus Z87K // HDD 1TB 7200RPM // eVGA Nvidia GTX 760GT 2GB DDR5 // LG 3D 47" 1920x1080 // Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS // Saitek Combat Pro Pedals // Thrustmaster MFD Cougar pack // PS3 Eye + FTNOIR
Deadman Posted March 21, 2016 Author Posted March 21, 2016 yes F-16 stuff is all ways expensive that is why I have the one for the A-10 http://www.coastalseatcushions.com/A10.php I will let you in on a secret I got them used from a surplus seller no way I am spending that much to replace the old set I have. 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.

Deadman Posted July 31, 2016 Author Posted July 31, 2016 Well I picked up a couple of sets of bezels I know they are not correct for the A-10C but I figure I can scrap them out and use the buttons any way there was an orange connector that was hard to find and some guys from another form said they would not work!!! Well i tested all the switches and back lighting everything works. Opened up the bezel cut off a lower connector pull the pins by heating with my Iron the old connector popped right off with the last pin and everything cleaned up beautifully here are a few pic. I just need to find my junk box solider a ribbon cable to it and fire it up. So much for listing to the so called experts that say it could not be done or only done by some one with years of experience took about 2 hour so far. 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.
Deadman Posted July 31, 2016 Author Posted July 31, 2016 They are 4 Inch bezels 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.
Mr.Fenestron Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Looks Great DM, I'm glad to see your still at it. I know some folks use larger/smaller than accurate sized display panels due to availability, are you doing the same or using proper sized units? I know a while back you attempted to cut your own, have you looked into that other company we had talked about that cuts panels to customized dimensions?
Deadman Posted July 31, 2016 Author Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) These are out of F-16s so I will just gut them. Then possibly have a friend 3d print a bezel or I may need to pay some one to mill them out of aluminum the quality of the rockers and buttons is just great. As far as displays I have a MIP conversion that will include the space for two LCDs for the MFCD so they will sit closer to the bezel. Having LCDs cut is very expensive and I failed to do it my self and spent quite a bit trying.

Deadman Posted August 14, 2016 Author Posted August 14, 2016 Guys if some one tells you some thing can't be done or only done by some one with expert skills please use your own judgement. I have a soldering station and have watched three how to videos. That said the f -16 bezels have been converted from the hard Milspec plug to a ribbon cable 6.5 inches long took a bout a hour just because i was careful.all that is needed is a bit of silicon to secure/ insulate the ribbon it is a shame people listened to the wrong people those that got these will be very happy!!! 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.

Panthro Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 I'm curious about your motivation for cutting your own LCD. I assumed there would have been a screen the correct size already, was it for a desired resolution? [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic86362_2.gif[/sIGPIC]
