hegykc Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 How's this going guys? Hi. I have taken up a business opportunity, in order to fund buying equipment neccesary to produce this on a more professional level. And to keep the prices down, as I wont have to outsource any work, and everything can be done in-house. I am currently 6 months into this deal, and it might take another 6, but it will be worth it in the end... www.replikagear.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twin383 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Looks like it! Moving on to use EPIC Gauge module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hegykc Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Nope, not dead, not by far. Just improving the production process and that takes time. I've recently bought a 7,500$ 3d printer, and a 10,000$ cnc plasma cutter. Laser cutter, cnc mill and lathe and metal casting equipment coming soon. There is also people working on open source electronic boards and software. So a lot of time, effort and money is already invested in this, and there'll be a lot more. I can assure you, after dumping 30k into equipment, and a couple of years of development, failure is not an option. This was started almost two years ago. Designed in plastic, to be made by a 3rd party workshop, with cheap ebay servos, had 3rd party electronics and no software to run it. Now, it'll be made in metal, in my own workshop, have servos designed for gauges, have our own open source electronics and software. And all that for the cost of that one EPIC gauge module. It's serious a project of a few years. Because it's not just this gauge cluster, it's everything else that goes into a functional simpit. There will be some updates soon, some in a couple of weeks, and others months later, but it will get done. www.replikagear.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One1way Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Really a shame that these really nice and very expensive project goes out the door. Would be fun to know what something like this would costif CH or Saitek would manufacture them. They surely can not be as cheap, considering what all their other things cost. More people starting such project should start a donation fund, so they can afford and desire to continue, and can see if there is a demand and and if people wont to pay for it :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacFevre Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I hope that it will continue as planned. I've been waiting for these since the first post. My fear is that you put so much time and resources into it, you'll have to put the price into the stratosphere. Personally, I would rather have something that looks nice and works well more than something that is professionally done and made like it could replace the real thing, and at the cost as the real thing. Regardless, I am anxiously awaiting any further development and will more than likely be shoving money in your direction. They really do look fantastic. I agree with Wilcox, maybe even a Kickstarter or some other crowd source funding could generate the extra funds needed to put it into high gear. ;) Buttons aren't toys! :smilewink: My new Version 2 Pit: MacFevre A-10C SimPit V2 My first pit thread: A-10C Simulator Pit "The TARDIS."

SafetyTurtle Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I've been excited bout this ever since I first considerd starting a pit...but I must admit that I'm worried about the price as well. Would love to have a complete assortment of A-10 gauges...hopefully the prices will be "reasonable". That said, can't wait to see some progress on this.
