jvanes Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Latest update is a real O2 bottle on the side of the seat. Not exactly the same specs like the real MS26545 but it looks okay. Need to paint it green and put a sticker on it with the lines: MS26545-A2X-0022 BREATHING OXYGEN NON-SHATTERABLE Next step is to see if i can get some switches working. First i have to explore the for me unknown world of electric to find out how to connect these and wich controlller to use.

Sceptre Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 One question sorry if this is n00b: How do you look out the sides of the plane or to the rear, etc? The monitor(s) only show the front dash/HUD.

Cowboy10uk Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 @ Sceptre, I would guess mate that he uses Track Ir, that allows him to move his head and the view tracks with him. Certainly I know thats what most of us use. amazing piece of Kit. Also a stupid question, as one whos never even looked at Cad drawings before, Ive downloaded the Cad files that are on here, When I find somewhere that has a machine I can hire, do I just hand over the file and they use at ala a Print file and the machine will know the correct size, or do I need to tell them dimensions for each part. sorry for a Silly question, But I would love to get my hands on this, yet have no idea how to use a cnc machine.

Cowboy10uk Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Hi guys, Jedi I love this cockpit. Looks fantastic and a Hugh thanks for putting the plans up on here. I was just wondering if anyone has changed the front panel, to have cutouts for all the instruments and have a screen with Helios behind it for display. Or is the panel to small for that. If so, does anyone know of a file with those changes on it. Please don't think I'm not greatful though Jedi, I really am. Your plans have allowed me to start the pit I have been thinking about for yrs. Just planning to use Helios for main panel that's all. Keep up the amazing work.

I am afraid that you can not use Helios behind the dash. You'll cut you fingers while working with the panel. Did you see this picture posted in my previous reply?

Cowboy10uk Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Hi Mladen, sorry for late reply. Damn work and real life getting in the way of my simming. ;) Thanks for your reply about Helios. That's a pity about Helios. But since I'm rather attached to my fingers,I better forget that idea for now. :) Sadly no, I didn't see the picture and the link states its missing, so ill have a look back through and try and find it. Just ordered the decals from Deadman which I think will look great on the cockpit. Thanks to you I also have a place who will cut out the panels for me. :) Although my wife has stated only after I've paid the outstanding balance for our holiday this year. I think this is finally gonna happen. After years of talking. Mainly down to Yourself and Jvanes. So Cheers guys, I owe you both a pint.

Lumper Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 How are you cutting your fingers on a flat panel monitor behind a cutout dash showing gages/instruments from a helios screen? I have seen several people that are doing it without a blood trail. Lumper ------------------------------------------- When the going gets tough, the smart cutout.

Gadroc Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I think he was indicating it was not a good idea to put a cutout dash in front of a touch screen. I would agree as it would make the touch screen hard to use. Several folks have put Helios on non-touch screens behind a cut out dash to great effect.

SimHog Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Hi all. What would you guys say would be a reasonable price to have this pit laser cut. I just got a quote back for $994.20 I have no idea what the going rate for this sort of thing is but for that price I'll do it myself with my wobbly hand and jigsaw.

_Dredd Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I got the same ridiculous price ranges when enquiring in Perth for a laser cut job. I've already made an Akers Barnes pit which cost me less than $100 in MDF and took a day to cut out etc, so I'm thinking of modifying that in the meantime; ie front dash and few mods. Hi all.
