Flim Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) Hey ya, UPDATED 7/27/13 A-10 VRpit plans available below My plan is just to offer plans at this time because It will be to difficult for me to get parts out in a timely matter with my schedule. I will offer PDF files so you can print 1:1 to build your own seat. Right now plans for the Aces A-10 seat, stick mounts, and floor will be $65 dollars. I'm trying to keep the price fair and help motivate myself to create other seats and setups for you guys. Files to CNC your own seat will be included. If you have questions, please PM or email : Flim@VRpit.com Payment will be made also to the above email via Paypal- After payment, plans will be emailed the same day with the required pass-codes to access the PDF's. Aces II seat cushions will be available for $129 and are a nice addition for your aces II seat. The TM stick Mod will be available as well, but we are looking into a place where the printed parts can be ordered online and Vrpit will provide the plans/BOM to assemble your own. Plans coming soon: F-35 seat, F-18 seat, K-36(Russian) seat, Huey seat and collective, front console, A-10 cockpit structure, F-16 seat and structure, lastly plans to build your own 5 projector Cube. Plan Preview - printable 1:1 PDF Here below is my setup unpainted.. We are pleased to offer plans/parts to extend your thrustmaster Warthog into a full fledged center stick. This mod offers a nice feel and some spring to counter the grip weight. The movement or throw of the stick can be adjusted by screwing the bottom mount up or down. Need help flying the Huey?... this mod makes a big difference! The extension mod includes the required 3D printed parts and a pdf outlining the other materials you need to finish the mod. All we supply is the 3d printed parts and Build of material (PDF). You will need to order the bolts/springs/alum tube to finish. In the BOM we do give part numbers and details on what you need... so no guessing. The length of shaft can be up to you ( the modder )... Vrpit Warthog Mod : $90 dollars plus shipping Note: the parts are small and light, so shipping should be fairly reasonable. Please PM or email : Flim@VRpit.com Here is another great Video... Some install tips! Edited July 27, 2013 by Flim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxi Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) Great news. I am highly interested and have some questions: Would you be willing to ship to Europe/Germany? If so, could you please estimate the shipping fees? My educated guess is that shipping (without packaging) to Germany is something around $100. What do you mean by "The Aces II will start at $399?" Does this mean that you will offer different variants of your ACES II kit? If so, what will be the differences and what will be the cost of each variant? Which kind of payments do you accept? Paypal?

Waxi Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 The ACES II is the model of the ejection seat. I know :smilewink: Film wrote that prices for his ACES II kit will start at $399. Hence I am wondering whether he will offer different variants of the ACES II kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a team of us, so if JR jumps in he has the answers as well... -I have shipped to EUR many times via DHL, usually around $150 for shipping to GER. -The seat above is the A-10 version, and is $399 as shown. I will have other seats later. - We will use paypal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxi Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Hey Flim, thanks your answers. The shipping fee of $150 to GER sounds reasonable. Do you also offer seat cushions for the ACES II? If so, what will they cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flim Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Yes, I can offer replica seat cushions... Cost is $129 per set in black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxi Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Excellent. I would take a set of replica seat cushions as well but first I have to discuss this investment opportunity with my "financial department." :smilewink: I still have one more question: The seat shown on the pictures above has a mount for the ejection seat arming handle but the handle itself is not shown. Will the ejection seat arming handle be included in the ACES II kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hansolo Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Very nice seat indeed, Flim. Looks fantastic, especially the ejection handles :thumbup: Cheers Hans 132nd Virtual Wing homepage & 132nd Virtual Wing YouTube channel My DCS-BIOS sketches & Cockpit Album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the ejection seat arming handle be included in the ACES II kit? The Arming lever will be included in wood, I still need to cut one out. I'm also thinking about making a Huey seat, with collective mount. Not sure how many would be interested. Other Seats in the works: F-35, F-16, F-18, Russian K36 or similar... let me know if any of you would like to see a different seat.

MTFDarkEagle Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 ... Russian K36 ... Nice!! What kind of price are we looking at for a K36? If you have completed it would you be willing to release (to buy or download) the plans to build it yourself?

Kuky Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Wow... I would love the Russian ejection seat... Very interested for that kit... How much do you estimate you can sell it for, also wondering how much is shipping to Australia? No longer active in DCS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flim Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 I can ship all over and have many times via DHL... Now on price, the A-10 seat is really strong, but If I can use more .25 material instead of the expensive birch, then the price can be reduced. I could aim for $275 per seat which would work nice for most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxi Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Now I am undecided which version I should go for. Is the A-10 version already available? Personally, I prefer a more robust seat and accept the higher price and shipping fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flim Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Here is a quick look at the Mk-16 F-35 seat.... pretty early, will be available soon. Also in the early stage of the Naces F-18 and the Russian K-36. I'm aiming for a price of $299 for all the upcoming seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTFDarkEagle Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Looks pretty cool Flim! Would you be selling plans for the seats so people can build it themselves? Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flim Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Possible, but the seat would have to be cnc'd for it to build correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuky Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 $299 seems acceptable (to me but not my girlfriend), I am worried about high shipping cost No longer active in DCS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flim Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 $299 seems acceptable (to me but not my girlfriend), I am worried about high shipping cost Ya, Shipping to Australia would be around $240...

MacFevre Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Nice stuff you got going on there, Flim. I'm interested in the seat, myself. Was wondering how well it would fit in my pit. Do you have a floor to seat measurement, and a width measurement? Currently, I've got a car seat in place, but would like to know if I need to build up the floor or whatever. Thanks.

Flim Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Hey, total width is 19.0 inches and floor to top of seat pan is 12.2 or so. Now that is without bottom cushion, so you need to figure out another inch or so in foam. let me know if you need anything else. Seat cushion note: My seat cushion provider decided to get flaky on on me, so I'm working with a local company and will report back when I get a new price.

MacFevre Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Thanks! Looks like it will fit just fine. But an inch of foam? Well... I suppose if that's how the real one is. Working on the back 9 of life though, it'll have to be a few inches myself! :) 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."
