skunk160 Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) As one of the 8in Lilliput screens I use behind my MFDs has gone "t*ts up", I'm thinking of getting a 22 inch screen to go in the center of the Dash. Would this push the MFDs far enough to the edges to appear more correct to an A10 dash (as the current MFD cutouts place them over the edges of a 17inch monitor) or should I be looking at a 24inch screen to get correct(er) spacing? *EDIT just seen the dash diagram with sizes in mm, so 24.8425 inches to fit the center screen in and push the MFDs as far apart as possible, 24in (diag 24in) screen would seem to fit perfectly Edited September 2, 2014 by skunk160 skunk160 | Win10 PRO 64bit | i7-4770K 3.50 GHz | 32GB DDR3/1866MHz | GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1080 x2 | Oculus Rift S | Virpil MongoosT-50CM2 | Virpil F-14B grip | Virpil 200m Curved Extension | PointCTRL | Delta Sim TM Slew | Sim Bandit AHCP | MFG Crosswind Pedals | //FOX2 Switch Boxes | RECARO SPG Seat | AuraSound AST-2B-4 Pro Bass Transducer x2 //FOXTWO Multi-Role Combat Pit Build http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=134745

Thank you for your comment, to make fake rivet heads i use (don't know translation for "clou de tapissier" in french) roofing nail (Bing translator) or brad (Google translator) :smilewink:
geneb Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 The heads are too "domed" for a roofing nail. Do you have one that's not been used you can post a photo of? tnx! g. Proud owner of 80-0007. http://www.f15sim.com - The only one of her kind.
Deadman Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Gene it is probably an upholstery nail http://www.onlinefabricstore.net/c-s-osborne-decorative-french-natural-nails-2lb-box-.htm?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Google+-+PLA+-+Shopping&utm_term=pla&utm_content=S4t2eAVrdc|pcrid|57080401573|pkw|pla|pmt|e| 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.

Sierra99 Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Hey guys a couple of quick questions... I've been going back and forth weather to build a true A-10 pit or the Jedi pit. As of now, the Jedi pit is winning out. I find myself flying the F15 more often, the F-14 is coming soon, I'm still holding out hope for a DCS F-16 (...SEAD in an A-10 gets hairy as an ape sometimes...) and once ED completes Nevada and EDGE who knows what they have up their sleeves...so I'm gonna go with a nice clean generic seat with common "functions" like gear handles, master switches etc. However, I'm going to make a few changes. First, I am planning to build Flim's ACES II seat and use it with this pit. I know the backrest for this pit is a seperate part...what about the lower portion of the seat? Can it be removed without seriously compromising the structural integrity or is it a matter of omitting a few parts to make my evil plan work? ( Also, I found a place close by that does CNC Work for 80.00 an hour. For those that have had the parts CNC'd, approximately how long did it take?

Sierra99 Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Hi Gary (Sierra99) $80 an hour sounds expensive especially if a cash rate. I've paid $50 an hour for a local boat builders foreman. It's a local business. Compared to some of the horror stories I've seen in here it seemed reasonable enough if the machine is fast. (More an hour...less hours actually used.) also, no "set up fees" if I bring in .dwf files the setup is free. And fee estimates for how long it will take.

AurelTristen Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Oh wow, that upholstery nail is cockpit greeble gold! I've got to remember that. Has anyone by chance created a PDF of just the seat (or is there one like it out there)? I really like how easy it looks to build, comparatively of course. Also, thanks to Psyrixx, I've just discovered wood transfer paper. That's a game changer for those of us without CNC access!

ShawnShepard Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 These DXF files dimensions are way out of wack, with it being over 8" and 1/8 Feet like... thats super huge. Is there one with the correct measurements?
ShawnShepard Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 No here I will post the DXF Dimenions, They are very very out of wack, I wonder if someone has the correct dimenions please PM
agrasyuk Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Dxf files don't carry information of what unit of measure was used. Why did you assume it was in inches? Anton. My pit build thread . Simple and cheap UFC project
Blaze Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 I would assume it's in millimeters. i7 7700K | 32GB RAM | GTX 1080Ti | Rift CV1 | TM Warthog | Win 10 "There will always be people with a false sense of entitlement. You can want it, you can ask for it, but you don't automatically deserve it. "
BubbaMc Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Are you sure that's not mm instead of inches?
ShawnShepard Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 Ill try to place it back into DraftSight, and seems even if i Change to MM, its 28,956 I am assuming you guys maybe rescaled them 0.0393701:1 ? to get correct size. or what program you guys using. Sorry for asking so much,
