D.Kelly thanks so much for the link. I will research DeviceLink a bit further. Propnut thank you for the compliment. Do you think it's possible to interface an original FW190 instrument to IL2 sim? If it is possible, what kind of hardware/software would I need to make this dream a reality? Thanks again

There is a mod for IL2 that re-enables DeviceLink during online play. I can't recall the name of the site right now, but it's known as "AAA" or something similar.

I loved this Fw190 pit Propman......Keep us informed.....Really good

Where are you from?

Thanks FS_Lewis.

Wow some realy nice stuff sence my last visit !!! keep up the good work people !! just an up date pic of my pit .

Still a work in progress, but Thrustmaster motivated me to add the main instrument panels, HUD, and ICP...lots left to do, but it's coming along.

Apart from all the cool stuff on that pit - I also like the armrest you've jury-rigged. But really, it's all pretty outstanding.

Not at all authentic, but since I don't have side panels, it was my only option. it actually serves a dual purpose - it's made of Lexan, very strong, I use it to help me in and out of the pit.

Wildest dreams ---------------------------------------------------------------------> Gunner's pit.

Just, WOW.



EDIT: Added more dashes!

Added a "Dog bone"

Hey Gunner, fantastic! Which F-16 sim are you running? Some F4 version?

Both of those pits are pretty much amazing, nut I gotta ask VTB_gunner do all of those gauges and switches work?

Reworked my pit once again, 3rd version now.
It's just getting bigger, but now I´m out of space and it cannot grow any further....until the kids move out that is.

Works well with any sim setup: Stick, wheel or yoke, to get it as generic as possible.

I had a chance to fly in Gunner's pit this past November and it is really incredible. He really put a lot of time and money into it and it certainly shows.

I didn't get to see it with the ICP/HUD/DED though, he was piecing it together in his garage at the time.

The force sensor stick (no movement, only pressure sensitive) was new to me and it was quite a workout to fly formation with it (18 lbs required for full control deflection), it was extremely precise though.

Here´s my pit at the moment!

Here is a link to my pit project. Dudley Simpit. My tastes wander too much to stick with just one type of mode of transportation, as I enjoy props, jets, helos, cars, and mechs! So I am going with a hybrid approach. It has been slow going up to this point, but I seem to have found the time to get going on it. My goal is to have it constructed and flyable by summer, when it get's too friggin' hot to work in the garage on it anymore!

GrizzlyT, if you read this.. where did you find the switch guards on your Misc control panel? I have been looking and the real ones are WAY to expensive...

Thanks to all who post to SimHQ.. you have all been an inspiration to my project, and I'm sure some of you will hear from me as I tackle the many, Many, MANY 'opportunities to overcome adversity' I expect as I go through the build.

Thanks, Dud

I found them at Perihelion Design .
They are copies of old NASA X-plane switch guards. (Mine were the gloss black sets.)

Not too expensive either. I think I only paid $6 a pair + S&H.

Lockon Flaming Cliffs with the VTB F-16 Model.

Thanks GrizzlyT! I'll check into them.

Wow Gunner! Awesome. You other guys have some good stuff too.

Time to build my new pit now that the divorce is official! LOL.
