My A10C cockpit is started...

[reactorone]

I think I will not use my cockpit, I will bequeath to the Air Museum at Le Bourget in France. :smartass:

 

Seriously, I will now work on the external lighting, the lamps that illuminate the cockpit sides.

 

Thank you for your comment.

Tonight, installation of lighting inside the upper flanks.

Everything is again connected to a dimmer, really great!

 

In the photos have the impression that the lighting is "powerful",

but in reality it is very soft.

 

So much for tonight ...

I might have to steal your light idea since my panels won't be backlit

[rocketeer]

Wow, looks fantastic! Are you using led strips? Are you you connecting it to the dimmer? Any resistors required?

3- No resistors, they are already on the strips of LED.

 

 

You can cut the strip of led all three LEDs, and connect later. this is what I do for my lighting.

Nine led, in groups of three and are spaced approximately 250mm.

 

 

I've put a pdf for the explanation of the connection, if it can help.

Yes it is O Ride look in the real A-10A manual page 1-151

ARMAMENT GROUND SAFETY OVERRIDE SWITCH

The armament ground safety override switch (22,

figure FO-2), is a guarded two-position switch, placarded

ARM GND SAFETY with positions SAFE

and ORIDE. The ORIDE position overrides the

ground safety circuit for maintenance purposes.

The ground safety circuit, activated by the DOWN

position of the landing gear handle, prevents normal

release or arming of ordnance and gun firing

circuits.

Thanks a lot Deadman :)

Hi,

 

I started to install the knobs on the potentiometers, encoders, etc...

The buttons are from F16, I had to make some modifications and compromises, but it pleases me well.

 

Sorry for the picture quality.

Looks good:thumbup:

Hi, R1

 

What material did you use for the cover? (The black on top and sides)

 

 

Hi Swaty,

 

I used PVC (Forex) 3mm, I have given shape with a heat gun.

This material is not plexi is a PVC opaque.

 

I found this link which explains the English terms:

Thank you R1!:thumbup:

[mr_mojo97]

Man that looks well cool. Wish I had the time/ patience to do something like that. Mine looks positively crap compared to that. Actually I'll post some pics of mine soon. It' s nice and basic with just panels with switches in kind of the right positions although I'm having problems with switches the CubPilot is helping me with

Hi,

 

Small update with the mounting panel "environment" and the panel "AAP".

Then installed in the cockpit...

[Swaty]

Just amazing!!

Hi,

 

Small step on my simpit panels with "Arm Ground Safety" and "Anti-G valve following test."

 

It moves slowly at the moment, but I expect two open cockpit display cards

to run my 7-segment displays.

[MemphisBelle]

This is really jawdropping...:shocking:

 

wish I would have the time and the possibilities to do such a thing as well, whereas I would ask my self...what happens when the next Jet will be released? Will you built a new simpit then and probably one day having a collection of pits in your livingroom?

[linden]

Nice work as always:thumbup:

 

The needles is it homemade or did you find them on a store?

[Hansolo]

Very impressive panel building I must say. Totally agreeing with MemphisBelle.... Jawdropping.

 

Did you mould the knobs youself or have they been purchased?

 

Thanks... Hans
