DCS A-10C : independents panels by Tacno

Hi,

I'm a A-10 pilot in the french virtual wing : the 3rd-wing.net.

When DCS A-10C is arrived, I wasn't good with my HOTAS and the mouse to click on switches.

I've got two hands only.

Therefore, with my own technology, I began to build the Electric Power Panel, an other...

Gear, caution, ILS, AAP, ......, CDU, and CMSP.

A French proverb says: "Impossible n'est pas français."

I'm preparing the 7th Simulation World Show at Le Bourget, near Paris -France-

(This web site is in french language http://www.museeairespace.fr/mondial-simulation/mondial-de-la-simulation.html ). My pit is still under building and I use all my free time on it.

I will reply at this post, with details, in month of October.

Keep hope, there is always a solution.

:thumbup: Superb Tacno!!!

Wow, very cool...

Nice one!:thumbup:

Super tacno, really good news, I want to know how to make and which material?

Could you provide finish CMSP to me?

"DEBUG TIME" "no comment" love it!

anyone who has built and programmed a pit can identify with that one :)

Great work !!!

Thank all,

I wrote there in the youtube comment :

"

...This CMS panel uses 2 microcontrollers, communicates with 2 IIC bus (in and out) with DCS PC.

On PC, two own IIC cards and three own programs are used :

• GetExportDCSA10C sends data from export.lua (specific code include in Helios code) to panels via IIC bus,
  
• SetInputDCSA10C receives, from IIC bus panels, switches status and sends them to export.lua (UDP Helios server)
  
• GetCMSPDisplay,own OCR, reads a CSMP duplicated display (MonitorSetup.lua), and sends results to GetExportDCSA10C.
  

All panels are connected with eight wires, for supply, 2 IIC-bus, backlight.

Nice on the CMSP OCR. I'd love to use that if your willing to share.

Of course, I will.

After september, I'm really busy to modify GetCMSPDisplay now.

I'd like GetCMSPDisplay will work with SIOC, plain text file, and as already now with an configurable UDP server. Just wait...

A small diagram to explain how does my cockpit work...

Thank you for your reply,

Great work :thumbup:

nice work.

i would be very interested in the solution as well. plz keep me posted too :)

INTERLUDE :

There is my virtual cockpit at 7ieme Mondial de la Simulation (7th Simulation World Show) (Sept 28th PARIS (FR)) where I met Flying Legends owner. (Thanks for being to come and see the pit). ED UK was at the show and presented DCS with a large hemispherical screen with a moving cockpit (mounted on jacks).

A good friend of my virtual Wing (a virtual ka-50 pilot) was testing the pit...

Only SAI, IFF, HARS, FUEL QTY et BREAKERS are missing.

Rest works with DCS World 1.2.1. :

ALCP, SAS, EFCP, INTERCOM, STALL, GUN OVERRIDE, FUEL, (Throttle TM WH),VHF AM, UHF, VHF FM, KY58, GEAR,AHCP,AOA, CLOCK, UHF REPETER,.... (I fed up with this list that begins to be long).... LCP

Keys of CDU, UFC, NMSP, CMSC, and FUEL QTY panel are in building... After cockpit'll be finished...

Thanks for reading...

Ramp start video with some errors.

I'll re-make it later

:surprise: Awesome!

What kind of a display is that you're using? Is it a VFD or an LCD?

For CMSP, the display is a LCD 2x20, black backlight with green/yellow characters.

Wow amazing work, if I could be build something that equaled 1/10th of your pit I'd be onto something! Great job, simply jaw dropping.:surprise:

Here is status of my A-10C's cockpit :

Rolling consoles :)

Perspective of pictures below is modified, so dimensions aren't good.

Nice!!

Great work !!!

Beautiful. My simple pit is going to be rubbish comparred to this :-D

Great!!
