showtime817th Posted July 14, 2012 Share 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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterP Posted July 14, 2012 Share 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! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showtime817th Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share 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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG14_Smil Posted July 15, 2012 Share 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?

JG14_Smil Posted July 15, 2012 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterP Posted July 17, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showtime817th Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share 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] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
