ED Team BIGNEWY Posted March 29, 2013 ED Team Posted March 29, 2013 I was worried when I first looked at your setup with the screen being so far away from the seating position and the view on the HUD, part of the reason I went for a short throw projector myself, but looking at the video it looks great. Its getting better and better all the time, makes me jealous ! :thumbup::D Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Mnemonic Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Gremlin, your setup is insanely cool! :D Will be delighted to check it up in RL when it will be ready if you will not mind.
Gremlin77 Posted March 29, 2013 Author Posted March 29, 2013 wow, thanks guys. I'm blown away of you coments! Gives me really a lot motivation to go on! visit my build thread Gremlin's A-10 :thumbup: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=86916
Gremlin77 Posted March 30, 2013 Author Posted March 30, 2013 Today rearanged the setup a bit. Installed a second PC using it to make all the interfacing and display issues. So main computer is just there to work on external view. Using my little ScreenPicServer program I export all the MFD screens over the network to second PC which displays it on the lilliput monitors. Also HELIOS is running on this second machine getting its data also over network. Next step is to get my interface system running again on this additional PC. Still a lot of work to do, but also able to get some flight time again sitting on a beer box in the cockpit.......Hopefully no one can see me sitting there.... visit my build thread Gremlin's A-10 :thumbup: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=86916
CyBerkut Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 It just gets better and better! Are you making that ScreenPicServer program available to other people? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] There's no place like 127.0.0.1
Gremlin77 Posted March 30, 2013 Author Posted March 30, 2013 yes for sure. WHARTSELL is working on my prog to make it more user friendly. He's the better programmer I think with more experience. He promised to finish next week. visit my build thread Gremlin's A-10 :thumbup: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=86916
Gremlin77 Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 mad a quick walkaround of current setup. Two PC running. One for outside view and base controls like throttle, cougars and stick. The other PC for Interfacing switches,ADI , HSI and MFDs. Just making stability tests, so this setup runs the hole day before I continue to connect further things like 7segment, LCDs and so on. This morning I ran into serious problems using all graphic options at "HIGH". Found out that 6 GB memory isn't enough doing this.... so advanced to 12 GB and now everything runs smooth again. The other problem I had, is that my little PicServcer Program won't send actual screenshots when textures in A-10 options is set to "HIGH". Don't know why.... Perhaps anyone has an idea. So have fun watching the "little walkaround" visit my build thread Gremlin's A-10 :thumbup: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=86916

Panthro Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Awesome!! Whats it like flying in it? is visibility an issue? how close is it to the A10c pit from the pilots POV? we need details man :P [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic86362_2.gif[/sIGPIC]
Gremlin77 Posted April 1, 2013 Author Posted April 1, 2013 hey I was never sitting in a real A-10, so how should I tell ya the differences :-) visibility is okay, I'm quite tall with 1,92m, so my head is a bit to high in the cockpit. Have to see how it works when the seat is installed. Could get worse. The other thing is, that front window has a gold layer for heating. This consumes a bit of projection light, but is acceptable. visit my build thread Gremlin's A-10 :thumbup: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=86916
