showtime817th Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Hello All, I know everyone is working on A10’s right now, but I wanted to add a KA-50 to the extended family. I have little more progress done then what’s in these pic so I will post some later on. I been looking around this forum for a while and there’s a lot of awesome pits. I used Triggerhappy drawings to get started, thanks Triggerhappy. Showtime817 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Deadman Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 That is a great start!!! 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.
showtime817th Posted July 14, 2012 Author Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) Thanks guys, Here's some more pic..KA50 with a ACES II who would’ve thought. Hope to have all the switches for the master arm install next week. Showtime817. Edited July 14, 2012 by showtime817th [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
PeterP Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Nice start! I don't know how "real" you want to get in the end - but check this links for possible solutions how to build the collective/Stick and rudders: KA-50 collective: another picture-tale Two MS FFB2 with Cougar Grip FFB rudder pedals And don't forget to incorporate a butt-kicker into the seat - so it all gets even more alive! :)

showtime817th Posted July 14, 2012 Author Posted July 14, 2012 Hi PeterP, I did have my collective mounted on my cougar awhile back and got the Ideal of putting the collective on my Saitek form your pics. Showtime817 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
showtime817th Posted July 14, 2012 Author Posted July 14, 2012 Thanks everyone. JG14_Smil, l seen your pit pics and you got something really good going there. I don't think I'm going with the side panels just the front instrument’s panel and lcd for my gauges. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
JG14_Smil Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Thank you for your kind words. Work has started again on my pit and I look forward to flying with all of you other KA-50 cockpit builders. We would be some switch-flickin' mofo's! :) The biggest snag I have right now is trying to get my front panel gauges, Shvkal and ABRIS to cover the full size of the whole panel. To do so, I need the width of a 37 " monitor with the height of a 27". I am thinking a 23" and 15" monitor (landscape/portrait), side by side, may cover the whole area for running my Helios setup. I thought this might give me the best chance at good FPS as I now run a 37" HDTV (my main view) and the 27" for Helios. FPS was not an issue on my last system this way. Hopefully, the third rotated monitor won't kill the FPS. Have you decided how to get the monitors behind your setup yet? Edited July 15, 2012 by JG14_Smil
JG14_Smil Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 BTW... I dread programming that Weapon Control panel (I think it is the only one left that I need to finish for my front/center panel). You have any info you could share about that? Yours looks great!

showtime817th Posted July 17, 2012 Author Posted July 17, 2012 Hello Lumper!!! Look what a friend of a friend brought me this weekend…I’m very excited about my shaft extinction…LOL. Anyway it works really well. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
PeterP Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Check if you can incorporate some dampers like in this joystick mod of walker450: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1495324&postcount=19 so the stick isn't spring-loaded and can hold the position. This is the easiest method to "simulate" a Force-Trim Stick. Have also a look at this threads to get a idea how you could sett up your monitors and what problems you may have to deal with: Seeking best connection method for optimal multi-monitor-performance Desperately seeking fps for BS2
showtime817th Posted July 17, 2012 Author Posted July 17, 2012 Thanks for the info PeterP….This is good info that I will need down the road. I personally know Walker, We would have lan meet once a year back in my home state and he’s a great guy. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

showtime817th Posted July 23, 2012 Author Posted July 23, 2012 I worked on my center pedestal over the weekend and I’m happy with the direction I’m going. I added the data link panel to the center pedestal…I saw a photo of a KA-50 that had a blue-ish cockpit with the data link on the center pedestal…thought that was pretty cool. I still have a few switchs that I need to finish out the rest of the center pedestal. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
