looks like a good start - good luck & have fun with it.

PS - if you're realy worried you could carefuly photoshop someone elses head into the photos - someone you don't like ?

Pitbuilding Update 28. october 2007

Well today I had to do some running in and out between the belt-sander and my Solidworks. I want the seat to have rounded corners like the real one (at least the front end of it, but also it has to have enough structural integrity to withstand the abuse it will get while playing..

This is what I had in mind so far in my computer when I started today:

And this is the result of some rounding of corners:

[ATTACH]71[/ATTACH]

And the final result of some heavy sanding:

[ATTACH]72[/ATTACH]

And finally an exploded view of how simple I try to make it:

[ATTACH]73[/ATTACH]

The final result (I hope) will look more like this:

[ATTACH]74[/ATTACH]

And I WILL NOT give up untill it does.. :smartass: A fine looking seat is about 40% of a cool cockpit if you ask me. And so far I'm having so much fun designing and building I'll just keep on going.

Also we all know that as far as time comes, I have plenty of it left before the sim is released.

More later tonight.. Going on the A2G server for some nasty ground-pounding and scratch me some Hog's now..! :joystick:

... L8r M8s..

.. Thanx mate.. I finally found the angle..

http://walkarounds.airforce.ru/avia/rus/kamov/ka-50/index.htm

I had been looking for some referance pictures to find the "workable" angles (not the true to life one, becuase then my Pit would have to be tilted forwards) for the right side window. And how hight and big it is compared to the rest of the cockpit..

Now I can get to work on drawing the right side wall/window, so I'll have something to hang the panel on..!:smilewink:

Keep the info flowing guys.. I know i can never get enough of it. And it really helps..:thumbup:

And check out a fellow Pitbuilder from 3rd-Wing:

You gotta give respect to Razorback for the fine looking work he has done the panels.. I envy you for having those man..! They REALLY look good..

.... ooops..! Mental note to me: Stop wasting time going on and on, and get my ass on Hyperlobby..!

Triggerhappy69, How are the Panels pursued then?

By the way. Will 504th open a Helo Wing?

We'll start Helo ops about 15 seconds after DCS release..:D

Happy crashy times! ;)

My God, this is like planing a new years eve :P

Panels..

Triggerhappy69, How are the Panels pursued then?

Cool that you asked right now, since I am working on then as we speek..!

The push buttons will be made out of a 20x20mm square tube of plastic cut to the appropriate hight. And I'll connect them to some cheap microswitches I bought from RS Components...

Between the bottom plate and the button I'll just jam some foam or a spring (most likely a square piece of foam) to make them spring back into place as the switch has a spring inside it as well..

I'll make a better picture and post later today..

... and guess who will be there HOCAS in hand..?

We'll start Helo ops about 15 seconds after DCS release..:D

I'll be there with bells on mate..

I'll be there with bells on mate..
