Hammerhead Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Hi all, Just a pic of some panels that I have cut and engraved. Edge painting needs doing yet. Holy macaroni! Looks awesome. I have never built a cockpit but it is like a dream to me. What about the switches that go into these panels? Any tutorials you can recommend on how to build? Just to have an idea but what cost price are we talking about if you want a full A-10C cockpit?

Any tutorials you can recommend on how to build? Just to have an idea but what cost price are we talking about if you want a full A-10C cockpit? Thanks, standard 12mm toggle switches cover most circumstances, there are exceptions though. As for building your cockpit, their are far better experienced and knowledgeable people on here than me.

Glider_UK Posted July 7, 2013 Author Posted July 7, 2013 USB devices Not quite there yet but heres a quick pic of what they will look like. The aim is to create self contained devices that just plugs into USB. The screws need changing and the fixings to the box are not done yet, but were getting there. http://www.modeldesigns.co.uk Mobo Asus Maximus XI RAM:64GB DDR4 CPU:Intel I9 9900 Nvidia 2080TI WIN10 64Bit HP Reverb
marker Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Glider Replied to your PM. Can I ask you where you get your switched from, as they look a lot nicer than the ones I have bought so far! Thanks “Any pilot should be flying the spitfire, at least once.” – John S. Blyth

mr_mojo97 Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Hey Glider, reckon you may be making a correct lever or similar for the fuel receiver door? Looking very nice though. Wondering also if you've had any luck backlighting a panel yet and how it's looking.

Glider_UK Posted July 8, 2013 Author Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) Hey Glider, reckon you may be making a correct lever or similar for the fuel receiver door? Looking very nice though. Wondering also if you've had any luck backlighting a panel yet and how it's looking. Ta I am making the top correct but not a lever, If people want a self contained device it will be on 2 slider switches, if they want the lever they will only want the panels anyway. Back lighting is the easy bit. this issue is due to countersinking the spacer, sometimes the wording is so close to the edge of an hole countersinking doesn't work as it makes a weak spot. I have tested for light bleeding and I cant see any coming through at all. 2 layers of primer and 2 of enamel finish coat stop all the light. Image below to explain.

Deadman Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) Very interesting design what type of switches and buttons are you going to use? Your deffinatly not going to have a problem with light bleeding with your paint job . Normally it occurs around button and switches just an FYI Edited July 9, 2013 by Deadman 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.
