MONK Marco Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Great Project! Since I started my Pit just a couple of weeks ago after doing 2 years of Research I really apreciate your ambition and Will to do something good for all of us. I was wandering If there are some European Simbuilders that wish to Group up in order to resarch easily accessible replacements for Parts that we cant get. We could organise a Little to be quicker when the OpenHornet Project is finished. I do Have a CNC Router and 3D Printer and would be willing do manufacture Parts on a 10 PCs material cost only Basis. Also some Switches are getting significantly cheaper when ordered togehter. What do you guys think? Great Project! Thanks so much for your work!

Evilfisher Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Hi Guys Fantastic News! I really like where its going. are there any stl files out yet? As i can tell you have already a pretty good team assembled,so i guess you dont need any help there? I just could contribute with helping printing for Switzerland and Germany as i own a 3D printer Company. Cheers and keep up the good work.

WARonWAR Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I’ll be watching this thread closely as I plan on starting my VR Hornet pit very soon! I have my Prusa i3 MK3 up and running, ordered a ton of buttons & switches, and a bunch of Arduino “stuff”. To say I’m interested is an understatement. Can’t wait to see where this goes. Good luck!

Stang Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) Not to speak for Jrsteensen, In the engineering world, you can have it Fast, Cheap (in this case free), or Right. Which one do you want? Really great (ACCURATE) engineering work, takes time. Stang out Edited July 14, 2018 by Stang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aniron Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Jrsteensen, I saw on another forum that you are - or at least were - building an F-18D pit in order to press-gang your kid into playing WSO with you. Did you give up on that (part of the) project? I'd also be interested in some 5-yo-proof designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrsteensen Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) Hey all. I apologize for the lack of updates - between my Army training last month, and me being out of state due to a death in the family most of this month, not a whole lot of progress has been made on the Mechanical side. Electrical has continued to progress in my absence. We have transitioned to KiCAD 5.0 for electrical, and will be updating the model to SW2018 in the next month or so. Thanks for the kind words there Stang - we do work on this project on a purely volunteer basis and as our (very busy) "real" lives allow. All individuals working on this project have demanding jobs and families. Aniron, I was. I am going to finish this project first, then I may look at doing a rear seat at some point in the future. Almost tempted to just build two "C" model pits in that case however.

aniron Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Sorry for your loss. I have a question on the ABSIS. Is it only usable with DCS-BIOS? I play other games than DCS where a simpit would be neat, even though not tailored 1:1 to the aircraft. Could it run as a normal DirectInput device (input only) or better yet switch between them?

You can, but we will be coding it only for DCS-BIOS. Reflashing the Arduinos will be on the builder.

DDSSTT Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 What is the end user cost you are trying to aim for? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.csg-2.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrsteensen Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 What is the end user cost you are trying to aim for? We don't really have a hard number, but we are keeping affordability to the end builder in mind, and trying to ensure parts can be fabricated as cheaply as possible where it doesn't otherwise impact the functionality of that part.

DDSSTT Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 reason I ask for an amount you are aiming for is... the required items you listed the end user needing are already around $2000 USD (3d printer, router, tools, etc...), or am I reading that incorrectly and you will be providing everything pre-manufactured with some assembly required? are we looking at 1-15K, for already completed parts... or are you planning on just releasing the plans for the user to create everything with their own equipment...

These will be free plans. Not products.
