I've been thinking about using these 8" screens and these USB to VGA adapters then just putting my own buttons around. It will have to wait till I have an income though. You could totally use these screens with those cougar panels.

Nice job!

It's prettier than mine, that's for sure. Your's does have sides and working lights. Really nice work. It's nice to see how someone else comes up with solutions for things. When you put together that sabre console, are you just making a center front console for on top of a desk, or are you...

Thanks

@Just Jake I have a Silhouette Cameo plotter that I use to cut out the decals. I guess decals isn't really the correct word. The ones I have pics of in this thread are really white lettering decals over black vinyl. The finals will be black vinyl with the lettering and backlit sections cut...

I had some time before a job interview this afternoon, so I built a test panel for an FPS controller. I needed something to keep my head and hands busy. I tried to document each step as I went. This is a test panel to see if it's worth even trying to do a nice one. Mainly looking at the...

@Jhonon1 They require drivers which are downloadable from the website. I believe they both show up as seperate "joystick" devices it's just the button cards only have buttons and the other has buttons and axes as inputs. The B0836 cards have a config tool, it's a single page that changes the...

@Just Jake Very nice panels. The ones I have are a first run test of how I am mounting them in the frames. I just got the leo cards a couple of weeks ago. I went with the B0836A cards because the "no connector" versions are the same price and you get the 8 analogs plus 4 extra buttons. I...

@Jhonon1 Here is the link for the "How to use" page on the Leo Bodnar site. If you are familiar with digital electronics at all, it's pretty strait forward. If not I've got plans and wiring diagrams for everything I built. I just need to organize it and get it all posted up. I guess you...

@Carlos Spicyweiner Go for something other than a pacifica, getting that seat out was the single most difficult thing of the entire build. The mounting bolts are underneath the catalytic converter so you have to remove the entire exhaust system to get the seat out. If it wasn't free I'd have...

@Jhonon1 I'll start posting up the documents with explanations. I need to get an open license set up for it as I may want to monetize the designs in the future. The frame is just a 2x4 wooden frame holding 1/4 inch MDF "Panels" 1" away from the face of the frame, to allow for devices and...

For the last several months I've been putting together a flight sim cockpit in my basement. The shape is modeled after an F-16. The electronics are a combination of a Saitek X-55 HOTAS for the Stick and Throttle and Leo Bodnar BU0836A cards running all of the other electronics including the...

I'm in Newmarket now, used to be down near the beaches. You in the T. area?

So.......... I'm just outside Toronto, Canada. I've always loved flight sims, all the way back to SWOTL, but my favorite have been the space sims like Wing Commander, X-Wing and Tie Fightrer. I've been waiting for one to truly use real zero g physics. I've played ED, and enjoyed the first 40...
