avlolga Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 If you don't update win 7 and mainboard for a long time, it is probably the main problem. I think you have to look for HID drivers or USB drivers. I use Microsoft USB/HID driver 6.1.7601.17514 Is it and old mainboard? Good luck Strix solved , i got an older USB/HID driver.

-Ice Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 After a few flights on my cockpit, I got the feeling that there is something wrong with my cockpit. For starters, the Saitek pedals I have need to be as far-forward (towards me) as possible, else my shins would hit the front console when I put the brakes on. Also, my knees/legs would get in the way of my right arm. I'm thinking maybe I need to lower the seat a bit more, but has anyone else had this problem like me? - Ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragtop Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Sounds like you need to either raise the stick/lower the pedals. If you look at the real A-10, you'll notice that the pedal floor drops an inch or so lower than the rest of the floor.I've found that my knees are a little high at times, so I may move my seat back very slightly to drop them. I have found no issues with knee clearance on the front panel however. 476th vFG Alumni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ice Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Solved by lowering my seat by 2.5 inches. And can put the pedals far-back now. I would love to figure out a way to "bury" the Saitek rudder setup so that the rudders are floor-level. Maybe for a future build. - Ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grimm0ne Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 nice build. Since your not using alum panels (saving tones of money) how/where you printing out the panels for the sizes etc? I mean id love alum panels but the cost doesn't add up with what a printed sheet w/lam would save in the budget. What switches are you using? Mom-off /mom - off - mom? I think i'm overloaded with pitbuilder info ahah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimebug Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) my goal is just to provide plans, stencil for those who want to built an A-10-C. I will not build it myself, i did the project for a Friend and decided to give the stencil to everyone. You're free to choose whatever build technic you want, basically what i offer is mainly the structure. For all others choices, level of realism ect.. it's up to you. So people print the pdf files that i provide, as the part are scale 1/1, the hard thing is just to fine someone who have a large printer/plotter to print the files. Once done, you glue them on the wood and simply cut following drawing line. Check the first post of this topic to fine the part already available.

Dropship Pilot Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Hi Dimebug, you're doing a hell of a job here! Great stuff! :thumbup: There's one thing I noticed in you progress picture - the curve of the outer cockpit wall ends horizontal to the floor. If I look at pictures of the A-10, I'd say that the outer wall hits edge of the canopy frame at an angle of about 45 degrees an then there is a sharp edge. I hope I'm making sense here...

Hopefully I can give something back to this great community. I can usually find just about any info on these forums, however the MFCD's dimensions don't seem to be available. Tracking the manufacturer was surprisingly hard, however I think this is the one. Hope it helps.5x5-amlcd.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketeer Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Based on the dimension for the front panel here, would it be right to say if we were to put one big screen behind it, the closest fit would be a 37" HDTV? The next lowest size is 32" which seems not wide enough to cover the sides like the fuel gauge. My A10C cockpit thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
