As it happens, I may have to move shortly, but the beast is modular, the side consoles will be removable and the front section too, so no wall removal needed... flying to Miami tomorrow to pick up Simmeters, MyDIYCNC router and a bag full of mouser switches!! and I expect radio shack will do well from my trip too...

nobrot Posted November 9, 2013 Author Posted November 9, 2013 OK finally got hold of my simmeters and CNC kit, here is an update. The simmeters arrived well packed and once out of the wrapping the build quality becomes apparent, the black alloy castings are solid and have a real military feel about them, I fired them all up and they work exceptionally well. I did have some casualties, the Altimeter needle had detached in transit, the VVI and ROT indicators did not work; I am talking with simmeters about these issues and they have released software (which I cant download because of a bad link) to fix the VVI and ROT, and they have said they will replace the Altimeter, so I am confident that we will get these problems sorted. The AI, HSI and RHWR all use a slightly different USB cable that I don't yet have so haven't been able to test them yet. The engine instruments look great in action.. The casualties, VVI stuck at 400fpm descent but should be a software fix, and the loose altimeter needle which will be replaced.

nobrot Posted November 9, 2013 Author Posted November 9, 2013 The CNC hardware is built, it was fairly easy, but as I am an electronics luddite, I fully expect the remainder of the build to be challenging at best... soldering irons at the ready!

Hansolo Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Nice Simmeters. Looking forward to seeing them in action :thumbup: Chhers Hans 132nd Virtual Wing homepage & 132nd Virtual Wing YouTube channel My DCS-BIOS sketches & Cockpit Album
Mr_Burns Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Nice - where did you get the CNC - Im considering building one but I might as well be wearing boxing gloves so I can imagine the tolerences I will end up with!
nobrot Posted November 12, 2013 Author Posted November 12, 2013 Thanks for the positive comments guys! @ Mr Burns, the desktop CNC kit I picked up is from http://www.mydiycnc.com/, although I cannot comment on how well it works yet as I have only just started the electronics hook-up, I can say that I am very happy with the quality of the mechanical parts. And so far it has been super-easy to build. Real world pilot, budding virtual world hog driver... My Build Thread http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1855253#post1855253
Boltz Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 It looks great. Can't wait to see the simmeters in action. Especially the ADI, HSI and RWR. Nice work nobrot! A-10C Cockpit Build Thread My YouTube Channel
nobrot Posted September 12, 2019 Author Posted September 12, 2019 LOL for six years my simpit parts have been sat in boxes, god bless VR, next project will be a tactile cockpit for VR use as soon as there is a reliable haptic glove product on the market. For now I am firmly in my F18 in VR, If anyone is building a physical simpit I have guages and switches for sale!! Real world pilot, budding virtual world hog driver...

Mr_Burns Posted September 13, 2019 Posted September 13, 2019 Freaky its been 6 years, I remember when you started posting as nobrot, reminds me of the UK TV show "The Office" but when I clicked this I thought it was an update, not that 6 years had passed.
