Mt5_Roie Posted June 17, 2013 Author Posted June 17, 2013 Great work. The Huey looks a delight to fly with your setup. She is. I think the collective gives it that extra realism that just adds so much to flying her. Finally happy with the A-10C setup on her as well. I'll post the setup sometime this week.

Mt5_Roie Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 So made some drastic changes. Will try to make video this weekend. Short story is I'm putting away my A-10C pit and using it's parts in my new pit. So I put in the X65F for the A-10C in the new pit and left the X52 Pro for Huey and P51. Haven't decided which stick to use for FC3 yet...but it'll be interesting. Also put in second monitor for Helios. Coder - Oculus Rift Guy - Court Jester
Mt5_Roie Posted July 2, 2013 Author Posted July 2, 2013 Just wanted to do an update video: Still need to paint some more parts. Also need to get another hard drive in the computer so I can start recording videos as well. Coder - Oculus Rift Guy - Court Jester
WildBillKelsoe Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 awesome... just AWESOME!!!! thanks for sharing AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
Mt5_Roie Posted July 15, 2013 Author Posted July 15, 2013 Picked up a UHF radio off ebay and started working on trying to convert it for sim use. Here's the front of it: Inside parts: Inside parts: Inside parts: I started working on removing wires and components I don't need: I removed all un-needed wires and left the ones for the switches and rotary swtiches I need: I ordered a leonard board that will work with it so it should be here in a week or so. I'm also getting some more units from ebay as well. Hoping to have a full set at some point to replace my left panel with actual radios. Coder - Oculus Rift Guy - Court Jester
Mt5_Roie Posted July 19, 2013 Author Posted July 19, 2013 The fun continues...been a massing more radios and checking them out to see the difficulty of getting them to work with sims. Still waiting for my Leonard board so got time to poke around them. My goal is to preserve the original contents as much as possible. But only remove what is needed to make it sim ready. My radios so far: This is the inside of the INT radio for the Huey. I want to get the main switch to work: After poking around I removed some the top parts to get to the main switch and am able to wire up all six configurations. Overall I think I can wire this module for sim in a couple hours once the board arrives. This is the ADF unit I got...It looks cool but the inside is packed tight: It's going to be hard to get to the areas I need without removing a lot of the things here. So this one is going to be a tough one I'll save for last. This is the NAV/Comm radio: Looking at the mechanics I think I can get to the wires I need to sim it. Even though it's tightly packed...all the wires are oriented in ways I can reach them. Looking forward to seeing if I can get them to work. Pretty much all these I worked on today I got for 25 bucks each plus 12 dollars shipping. I love ebay! Coder - Oculus Rift Guy - Court Jester
