    Hey guys, Just a brief update on what’s going on with the sim. I’ve been still on it but moving very slowly; amount of overall work is insane! Haha Due to complexity of the project and organization proposes I had to come up with numbering system for parts, assemblies, sub-assemblies...

    G-Seat with Orbiter

    Hey guys, Just curious, is it possible to make a g-seat working with Orbiter? Have some ambitious ideas using that one in my sim pit (which is still being build btw, very slooowly though, updates to follow): https://bergisons.simpit.info/motion-integrated-g-seat Theoretically all accelerations...

    Hey guys! I've been designing my sim-pit for a while and came across these 2 documents - blueprints of common control stick and throttle grips - quite interesting reference material for sure.

    Thank you, man! Great design you got there too! Don't worry about squareness of the LCD - you will have square MFD field in the center and visual buttons at both sides - using VNCMFD you can easily set screen coordinates and size for each MFD entity via .cfg file. Here's how it looked on my...

    Hey there! Nice to see you back! :) Yeah, time flies, doesn't it?! Did my recent post remind you to update your thread too? :D New pit looks cool too. Of course, it's not shuttle cabin, but at least you can already fly it! :hailprobe: :probe::cheers:

    MFD switch assemblies. Each assembly is pre-made soviet surplus stuff grouped by 6 and 2 switches. Double micro-swithes for redundancy xD I just added 1n4148 diodes to each switch and db9/db15 connectors for ease of future assemble/disassemble. Switch actuation force is around 4-6 N, which feels...

    Hey guys! Little heads up here. Right now things are slowed down little bit due the world situation, but the pit still is in its developing stage. Almost done with Rev. C of PMFD and Rev D of AMFD. When I'll have some assebled hardware (not pics from CAD lol) I'll share them with you. Yeah, ORB...

    Hey guys! Long time no see! Sorry for not posting so long - I've been very busy since summer.. Right now I've been slowly but surely prototyping a new revision of the primary MFD module - two halves are printed (each took approximately 11.5 hours..) and superglued together. Now it's all self...
