sleepara Posted July 8, 2012 Author Posted July 8, 2012 Your a geneyus (I am not a genius). Seriously that reflective glass idea was good. I think you just evolved pit building friend. Your going to be a trend setter. I was banging my head for a while trying to focus the image ! took me couple o tries to realize that the mirror is an enemy. even 1 mm thick mirror that i found generated blurry image. The HUD is the part of my pit i like the most. I promise to film it in a while i bet you all gonna love it. I will post the calibration process later. ( G effects turned off definitely add to the calibration if you want it rock steady...more about that later i am late for work :megalol: )

TomDK Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Very nice work !!! Question: Do you have no problems with crashes due all the joysticks, etc ? On my system are TFS, Phidgets64 LED and a Joystickcard from "Brydling". Since this all is installed A-10 crashes on the smallest missions ... Cheers Tom My old, sold, pit: http://bilder.einzelart.de/thumbnails.php?album=74&page=3
sleepara Posted July 9, 2012 Author Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) I used to have amd fx4100 cpu with gtx 580 8 gigs of ram and i never experienced crashes. i have 4 screens and 11 usb inputs. I updated the system anyways to i7 3770k and gtx680. i guess it will run stable as it did with the old cpu. you have a good system your self it shouldn't crash. I think you have something setup wrong...have you overclicked the system or played with memory timings? Edited July 9, 2012 by sleepara
TomDK Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Okay ! Thanks a lot. maybe my overclocking is killing the simulation ... My old, sold, pit: http://bilder.einzelart.de/thumbnails.php?album=74&page=3
Panthro Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) great stuff!! maybe replace the lower mirror with a reflective plate so you dont get one of the refractions? I know there is some great stuff made from aluminum no idea on cost ....google here I come :) Edited July 9, 2012 by Panthro alloy [sIGPIC]http://forums.eagle.ru/signaturepics/sigpic86362_2.gif[/sIGPIC]
Spitfire2170 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Wow. How did you learn how to do all that wiring? I really want to own a pit, but have no electrical smarts. I have moolah, but not the smarts. Oh, how much did it cost you so far?

sleepara Posted July 15, 2012 Author Posted July 15, 2012 Actually I did not get it online. I went to the local glazier and asked for reflective windows...he happened to work with some so he had leftovers but you can order what ever size you want. reflective windows mate.

icemaker Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Very nice! Impressed by the HUD! I have a question: Your CMSP is a viewport or not?
RogueRunner Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Very impressive. One thing I will change though is the joystick :P With the price of ammunition these days do not expect a warning shot.
