    I've been in one true simulator and that was a Stinger simulator. I doubt there's any civi game or sim software and really a big ol plastic Wii Stinger wouldn't be interesting OR fun. I'm realizing just how complicated that sim had to be. I guess it would involve VR goggles now but at the time, 1988 maybe 89, it was a true sim in a dome room. I was 19 or 20 and Stinger wasn't my MOS anyway. They knew, however, we would be in the same area as the dedicated Stinger crews and I guess they wanted us to be able to use the thing if all the Stinger guys were in the latrine when a HIND or a MIG popped into our AO. It truly was a weapon for insurgents, as anyone could use it if they could get it onto their shoulder. This Warthog sim you've built is amazing. It combines so many things I'm interested in, not the least of which is an almost religious reverence that came to me during Desert Storm. It felt like the A10s were a guardian angel and those of us on the ground were a little safer when they were above us. I'm fully aware how corny that sounds, but I'd bet 'security' is an ultra rare feeling on any battlefield.

  • @fedenunez4803
    @fedenunez4803 4 роки тому +19

    Great setup! This gave me and idea, instead of the 2 screen proyectors, it would be great if you could use a vr headset with a camera on it. Let me explain what i thought.
    You need a green chroma screen around the real cockpit, the cockpit would still be the same as this one, with all the functional keys and that. The VR set would show you the camera output, but replacing the green chroma with the ingame view, but that way you would still be able to see the real cockpit and your hands! I'm not saying that it is possible, and for sure it would be very hard to implement that into the game, but it would be a great idea doesn't it?

    I'm not sure if anyone has commented this but the reason that you're not getting DCS fullscreen when it first fires up is most likely the butt kicker sound program, when you minimize it you take 'focus' away from DCS starting and it doesn't start fullscreen. If you just leave the sound program alone (as long as it's not set to stay on top) DCS should pop up over it and full screen.

      @Youric Hunt I have some limited insight in the costs for simulators due to my job and it is way, way more. Let's say the sim for a basic training aircraft costs around 8 million. Though that also includes professional support etc. for some time. These things get crazy expensive, but then again, it uses all the real switches and panels and the flight models are more advanced and it also includes a terminal for an instructor etc.

    I'm pretty sure all ya gotta do is put your key in the ignition, pump the throttle a few times, pull out the choke, make sure the clutch is pressed in and your transmission is in neutral, lock the parking brake. Crank the engine over until it coughs once or twice, put it on 1/2 choke and start it up. Let the engine warm up a few minutes and push the choke back in.

    Inspirational build, and very clean, professional layout... The improvements in VR made me stop building my own pit and settle for a reclined seat with a flexible HOTAS-setup. Everyone has his own preference, but I like to fly multiple a/c-types using VR. Changing the seat recline and position of stick and throttle is enough for me when using VR (where I can not see any other hardware cockpit instruments/controls). Could you tell me what length extender (and spring) you have chosen for your Warthog stick? I guess the length is probably determined by the original A-10C stick, but am still curious.
