Deadman Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 Pay attention to the grip location and the amount of movement compared to what the Aircraft does. amazingly the YouTube link works :thumbup: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/a-10c-warthog-supplies 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.

LynxDK Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Nice Video DM, it looks like our Warthog Joysticks from Thrustmaster has way to much movement compared to whats needed. Specially when you use Extensions. Regards. LynxDK [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadman Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 That may depend on how the curves and dead zone are set on each person's stick. I had my cougar set up fairly close to what the video shows. I disagree with simmers that say set the stick up with what fees comfortable to you.I think one should set it up with what reflect the actual response of the Aircraft. Then learn to effectively employ good technique. https://www.shapeways.com/shops/a-10c-warthog-supplies 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 December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 I picked up some blank cover plates some of the Dzus were bad so I removed them the plates are now sanded primed with an acid etching primer and repainted Ultra Flat Black Krylon camouflage ( my flat black of choice) https://www.shapeways.com/shops/a-10c-warthog-supplies 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 December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 Working on an RWR I have a couple of real ones but ran in to some simulator models with face for possibly a Greece Electronic Warfare System reference http://www.xflight.de/ The units are CRTs so I figured they more than likely are still functional and can be rotated to make this work. So I am in the process of getting the cables worked out. I remade the bezel for the IP-1310/ ALR and had Shapeways print it up my first model with them and I am very happy with it I could have used a larger font I was not sure if they when from the outside or inside of the font. Inside is how it turned out. I am not sure how I will paint the units just fill the engraved font and arrows or spray with white fill the areas with clay and respray with flat black. Here is a pick with a before and after the new bezel I am really impressed with Shapeways finish and price. The second pic is next to a real bezel. I still need to make a decal of the lens graphic and have several made to finish off the change but I am sure it will work out. You will notice the lay out has been rotated 90 degrees counter clock wise to get the INT knob in the correct orientation. The mounting screws are located where the real arrows go but using black socket screws I don't think it will be noticeable. https://www.shapeways.com/shops/a-10c-warthog-supplies 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.

hannibal Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 working with office chairs, i have found them way too high for pedals. im in the process of raising my pedals high so that my legs are more straight without having to have pressure on my hamstrings to reach my foot onto the pedals. QUESTION, HOW HIGH IS THE HEIGHT OF THE BASE OF THE PEDALS TO THE TOP OF THE SEAT CUSHION OF WHICH YOU SIT ON THE A10? i think i saw a blueprint of the a cessna having the height of 10" between, where as my office chair is a whopping 18" from the top of the seat cushion to the ground... find me on steam! username: Hannibal_A101A http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197969447179 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadman Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 The top of the seat is 15 inches to the floor the way I have my ACES II set up the bottom of the pedals are 2 inches from the floor. this is comfortable for me at 6'3" and 210 lb. https://www.shapeways.com/shops/a-10c-warthog-supplies 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.
