-Ice Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Bump! Figured out the angles on the bits I needed, starting work on the front panel itself. However, I find this a bit... bare with regards to measurements and angles. Also looking for measurements of the panels (AHCP, engine instruments, etc.) on the front panel, how big are they? Spacing? - Ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragtop Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 The AHCP is 6.5x4 inches, and the engine instruments are the same height. I've been measuring the screen, and taking the measurements I do know to make ratios for more general dimensions. You'll have to search a bit, I know some of the dimensions are on here. 476th vFG Alumni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ice Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 No worries there, I was just surprised that there weren't any dimensions/measurements for these, considering how anal-retentively accurate the other PDFs were. :D I'm not necessarily making the front panel instruments yet, but was hoping for the info so that I can structure my LCD supports properly. Oh well, I guess I can revise them later as I build the front panel... or maybe even build a different panel entirely and just swap it 'round once that's done. - Ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dimebug Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 to curve the wood, there's several ways to do it. Put the wood in warm water for few time, fix it to the flat surface then start to fix it to the curved zone. Fix it every 2 cm (or 1 inch) until you reach the end of the curve. Once done let it dry or use something producing very warm air to dry it. It should stay in place. Aluminium may be much easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danipelos Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 little picture of the stick extension : It's not the best looking one or strong as steel but it cost 15 € of parts... and everybody can build it it's made with this PVC tube, the main tube is blended after been heated, you're watching the first try, cold be done with a better final aspect. The parts used to link the Joystick parts are modified garden water tube connectors : Uploaded with ImageShack.us Hello. Im trying to replicate your Warthog extension but I cannot find a water tube connector with the same diameter as the Warthog's joystick. I have been told that water tube connectors use standard diameters and the Warthog's diameter is between the 1" and the 1" 1/4 standard tube connector diameters. Any thoughts? I would also like to thank you for your free stencils. You have done a great work for the flightsimming comunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dimebug Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 In fact it"s a water tube made to joint 2 water tube. it's not a connector. It need to be modified to work as a connector. this one is manifactured by the Brand Gardena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strix first thing i did when got the card is plug it in to see how its been i dent by windows. win didn't found it. i did the same with my living room pc (win7 32bit) it was found with no problem. so I figured that's the problem. i will try update me drivers /main board too.

Strix Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 If you don't update win 7 and mainboard for a long time, it is probably the main problem. I think you have to look for HID drivers or USB drivers. I use Microsoft USB/HID driver 6.1.7601.17514 Is it and old mainboard? Good luck Strix Win 10 64.

KLaFaille Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Dimebug, I've been meaning to mention this for a while but kept forgetting. Whether you care or not is a different story but the side consoles, in reality, aren't sloped like you have them. They would be parallel to the floor, vs the slight upward slope you have designed into them. Also as a general FYI, the throttle panel / quadrant is angled up 7 degrees from the rear section of the console (LASTE Panel, radios, etc) in actuality.

dimebug Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 thanks for the input :) i will check if i update the files. As the main parts of the console are constructed // to the floor, it may not be too complicated. The 7 degres from the rear section is really a welcome input.
