Light setup (yes another one)

[dimebug]

Hybrid F-16 A-10C,

2 little usb screens, 2 Joylock, one FSSB R3 + default Warthog base, homemade ICP and UFC.

 

The base is foldable :)

That is actually pretty darn slick!

Did you make the ICP/UFC? If not where did you get them and cost?

 

What's the breakdown on components, parts, costs, etc?

 

I'm only asking because some of the guys I fly with and I are interested in that setup.

I like it

 

What are the two MFD screens made up of Dimebug?

Would also be interested in how you made the A-10C UFC and its components.

the screens are Lilliput 8" (UM80/C)

 

the UFC and ICP are home made. UFC is much simple than the ICP to build, it use a leo Bodnard USB card, it works as a DirectX button box.

I will probably upgrade it for a Pockey or homemade stuff based on Arduino to also control few LED stuff like indexers ect...

 

Those are made of PMMA (plexiglass), cut and engraved with a laser cutter. Each unit use approximatively 100 parts (electronic not included). It could be simplified but may be more fragile.

 

For the cost, it's a little bit complicated to calculate. For the ICP it's something around 120€ but it takes a lot of time to machine and build (i didn't chose the easy way). The one you can see on the pictures is a rought one. The last i've made is much nicer. I also have the Wheels to add on it.

I will probably build a CDU later this month.

yet, the front panel is a rought one, i will rebuild a new one to integrate more stuff and give him a better look later.

Very nice and versatile setup :thumbup:

 

I would also thank you very much for the plans you have done on the A-10C cockpit. I hadn't realized until resently that you were the architect for them until reading the manual for A-10C Console Centrale.

 

Great work.

 

Cheers
