Hansolo Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Too, my homepit is mounted and unmounted 50 times by year. This action takes 10 min. I am amazed by the fact that you have build it for transportation. I can't even image how I should try and take my small pit apart. And I agree with MacFevre... it is one of the very best pit builds out there :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...

tacno Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) I see for the MIP you used a 10" 16:9 and a 19" 4:3 screen but how did you display the AOA, Clock, SAI and UHF repeater? Exactly : > 10" 16:9 to display : left MFCD, RWR and IAS > 19" 4:3 to display : right MFCD, all engines, HSI, ADI, alti and VVI Great thanks to Gadroc and his HELIOS : http://www.gadrocsworkshop.com/helios/ Specialy for you : http://tacnoworld.fr/?p=929 Edited August 8, 2014 by tacno UniversRadio for DCS : http://universradio.fr Homepit on eagle.ru forum :http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1547848&postcount=1 (more details : http://www.tacnoworld.fr) 3rd-Wing.net/75th vFighter "Tiger Sharks"/S-01 Tacno (squadron commander) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boltz Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Thanks tacno that setup is probably the way to go. The SAI fooled me. I thought it was a small screen or something which shows the excellent quality of your work. I think I'm running out of words to describe it. Incredible!

MacFevre Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Thank you Tacno. I really appreciate it. It's a very novel way of installing the buttons!

Mr_Burns Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Really nice build, what is the plastic sheet the buttons are glued to, like a laminating pouch? I like the idea, saved having to cut shoulders on the buttons! Assume if the material is not soft though it may depress buttons around it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacno Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Really nice build, what is the plastic sheet the buttons are glued to, like a laminating pouch? I like the idea, saved having to cut shoulders on the buttons! Assume if the material is not soft though it may depress buttons around it? The used sheet is transparency film for laser printer (polyester film of high resistance). Thinness of sheet does flexibility (not elasticity). A pressure of 0.2mm is needed to activate microswitch. It works well with my keyboards of CDU, CSMP, CMSC, NMSP and UFC. Bottom of buttons must be sanded down, cleaned before to put tape. Fisrt, I put tape onto bottom button, then I cut exceeded tape and finally, top frame onto transparency film, I put and fix each buttons. For me, it's simple, effective and cheap. I use my homepit more than 6 hours by week and I haven't problem with keyboards. 1 UniversRadio for DCS : http://universradio.fr Homepit on eagle.ru forum :http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1547848&postcount=1 (more details : http://www.tacnoworld.fr) 3rd-Wing.net/75th vFighter "Tiger Sharks"/S-01 Tacno (squadron commander) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hansolo Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Looking great Tacno. Thanks for the pdf of your design. Mine is a somewhat similar appart from the fact that my whole assembly (handle and rod) is done in two halfes I was actually looking for a way to get the text indications on :thumbup: Had considered air brushing by probably go for this way instead. Keep the good photos comming.

hansangb Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Impressive. But, if I'm honest, a lil' disappointed that pre-pre-pre-checklist was not used, and I expected to see a cockpit ladder as he stepped into the cockpit! :) Nice job..and you gave me some ideas about mounting my Komodo stuff. thank you. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
