Deadman Posted April 29, 2011 Author Posted April 29, 2011 That is just part of it i will take a few pictures tonight:thumbup: where do I find it :music_whistling: 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 April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 Here is most of what i have for the Left and Right side console control panels. You guys know the names. So i don't have to list every thing out.I all so have some A-10-A parts if any one is interested just pm me. These controls are not for sale though. But i have others that are. 1 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.

PanelBuilder Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 I was thinking of just having it built in to the pcd that will have the switches on it. The bezels in my design are about .5 inch thick so there should be plenty of room. I am just not a pcb designer lol The lit switches I would like to use are 8.2 mm high. So if I can have 10 mm or a little more between the bottom of the buttons and the bottom of the bezel life is sweet. If I can have 15 mm we can put the switches on one side of the PCB and the other components on the other. I'm thinking of two approaches: 1. 28 pin PIC -- this gives us 23 inputs which is just right if we don't connect the 3 unimplemented rockers, and wire the rotary as a 2-bit pot. 2. smaller PIC and put a shift register on each side. I like this because less traces need to converge on the side with the PIC. Either way, I'm going to make the BRT and CON rockers detachable from the interface so they can be connected directly to the display hardware, if desired. Interface is going to be lua, not buttons or keys. Colin
Duckling Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 ooooch, that kinda collection should be forbidden to be shown here ?! (kidding) 2 COMM quads and a TISL on top, not to mention all the others.. congrats. Must have taken a sweet amount hours just to locate these. A bit envy to say the least...hehe.

Until all key stokes or i get more familiar with the Lua i will no make a decision on this Colin w 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.

Succellus Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 It sicken me to see this, i m green of envy :) Lucky guy. I suppose you had to seek a lot to find those, the one i droll the most is the warning panel.

Deadman Posted August 31, 2011 Author Posted August 31, 2011 Just checked the thread nothing posted for so long I need to get the house finished and get to work 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 September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) Ok guys i have been going through panels and checking them I can make accurate measurements to make parts from. The question is any one interested in any thing? I just need to know it doesn't make scene to spend the time if there is no interest thanks let me know by posting here.

I just need to know it doesn't make scene to spend the time if there is no interest thanks let me know by posting here. I'm interested in anything you might care to post. Straight-on (i.e. limited perspective distortion) high res pictures of each would be very helpful and much appreciated. The overall backing plate dimensions also. Heighth in particular, as I believe the width of each is 5.75". The pictures you have already posted have been helpful. Thanks! Mike Powell www.mikesflightdeck.com www.mikesflightdeckbooks.com
Deadman Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 The post is to judge if the is enough interest in accurate panels and parts for an A-10C cockpit. Not for the release of informational this time.Do the investment in time and cash to get it l together. 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.
KLaFaille Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 In the interest of sharing, I've shared this before, but here it is again. http://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=53423&d=1310016493 Drawn by me from my real throttle assembly. I think there is a Dim or two missing but other than that it's complete and accurate down to the .001" give or take. Red
icemaker Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Of course very interested in accurate panels, thanks mate :thumbup:

Deadman Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 Hum still not that much interest 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.
Direwolf5 Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Definitely would like accurate measurements. Calculating the panel sizes off of pictures has me pulling my hair out.
Ragtop Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 It'd definitely be a help for me, although my panels will not be to the mm, your dimensions will give me a great idea of how to scale to fit my own pit. 476th vFG Alumni
