MacFevre Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 I'm trying to make my MIP look a little sharper and was wondering if anyone had any drawings or 1:1 PDFs for the instrument bezels? I would really appreciate it. I tried searching for any, and didn't find any on the board. They seem to have some for sale over on VP, but I'm unsure if they are the same. I'm guessing everyone's making them out of... Plexi? Wood? I figure black painted wood would probably do it. Thanks, 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."

Hansolo Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 Hi MacFevre, Found attached a long time back. Maybe you can import it if you don't find anything else. Must admit I am not fully aware if it is actually for a A-10C :music_whistling: Cheers Hans5x5-amlcd.pdf 132nd Virtual Wing homepage & 132nd Virtual Wing YouTube channel My DCS-BIOS sketches & Cockpit Album
Deadman Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 Mac what are you looking for ? MFCDs or the analog instruments? I have both done 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.
MacFevre Posted December 2, 2013 Author Posted December 2, 2013 Mac what are you looking for ? MFCDs or the analog instruments? I have both done Mainly the instruments. Currently, until I get brave enough to attempt the pit 2.0, I'm using simple over-the-counter MFCDs from TM. Brings up another point, am I simply crazy, or have others gotten to a point when building their pit when they say, "You know, I really ought to do this all over again." I mean, for the most part I'm pretty happy with the progress, especially it being a first attempt. But there is a little part of me that is having a better time building the thing than flying it... I know, pretty sacrilegious, but that's that. I know I still have to go to the books when figuring out how to drop ordinance, but I'm in the process of figuring out how to make PCBs simply to make underneath the CDU look nice! (Because I'm done with the UFC, and it's admittedly the worst soldering job I think I've ever done!) Even learning how to work with Arduinos. You young ones might not think its a big deal, but being on the back 9, it is. ;) Then pits come along like DM's and Tacno's, and I just want to start over. (After spending a couple grand retooling...) :D All for what? Telling ya, crazy! 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."

Ah misunderstood you. Sorry about that :music_whistling: ps. you are not crazy. Seeing DM, Tacno and other very high level pits.... I want to start all over again :lol: Cheers Hans 132nd Virtual Wing homepage & 132nd Virtual Wing YouTube channel My DCS-BIOS sketches & Cockpit Album
