Gremlin77 Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 i use two 19 zoll tft, the left one landscape, the right one portrait. to bring the mfds to life, in the past i tried to export them directly by dcs. but using such a big resolution for the game, the framerate goes down extremely. so i export them now to the three front displays on the left side and copy them with the screenreplicator of helios to the two front panel screens. you loose about 300 points of the external view, but framerate is not affected at all. this is the same way i bring the cdu display on the cdu monitor. works fine for me. visit my build thread Gremlin's A-10 :thumbup: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=86916 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin77 Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 after a long time....projectors work hi all, sorry for my long absent time. But I have brought abit on the road. So now I use three projectors for the outside view. Attached some pics below. Bought these at ebay for abaut 150 Euros each, and what should I say... I love it. Now got a real feeling of flying a jet. The Graphic cards bring the view up to 55 fps. Using TrackIR I get a bit sick cause all you see is the moving projector screen.....thats the way it has to be!! For Projection screens I use a very carefully painted new build dry wall for the front and two powdercoated aluminium plates (9016) for the sides in about 30 degrees of the front. Hope you like what u see. If you have the chance and the place to use projectors instead of monitors, dont think about it - DO IT!! 1 visit my build thread Gremlin's A-10 :thumbup: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=86916 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin77 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 yes, as mentioned running with about 55 fps. the projectors use just a resolution of 1280 x 800 each, so the amout of pixels is not so high. for the cpu its no problem dealing with two graphic cards. run a I7 at 2.8. visit my build thread Gremlin's A-10 :thumbup: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=86916 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin77 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 sorry for the long absence Hi, sorry for the long absence of the forum. But in fact I have spent a lot of time in my call it "baby" So the bus system I developed ( I mentioned this at another place in the forum) to interface hardware with A-10 is finished up and works very fine for me. Changed to interface by network (udp), what brings a lot of advantages Finished up nearly all of the remaining panels, so take a look at the left console. And the best news last: Found the cockpit of an Tornado fighter in England and shot it on ebay. So, hopefully in 3 or 4 weeks I'll have my own real 8 meter long fighter nose.....still can't believe it! Have all a good time and happy new year! visit my build thread Gremlin's A-10 :thumbup: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=86916 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin77 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Hi agrasyuk see you have a laser as well. Best tool, isn't it? How do you do your engravings? Do you prepaint it an then laser it? I did this in the past, too. But now I use thin plates of two colored plastics, special for laser engraving. They are white with a thin plastic layer in black on top. So you can laser the black layer easily away and have very sharp white letters. They offer them in different color combinations. visit my build thread Gremlin's A-10 :thumbup: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=86916 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agrasyuk Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Replied to your PM first :) Yes, I really really enjoy that tool. The reason I don't use specialized material is cost. With my little machine I will be wasting a lot of it. Lasermark is certainly more contrasty when not lit but difference is hard to justify when leds are glowing :) plus I cut the panel before base painting it so edges are painted . I seem to do very well on exact positioning the panel for later engraving Anton. My pit build thread . Simple and cheap UFC project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
