Simpit A10C - Front Dash - Part 3: Design Modification

Описание: Welcome to Part 3 in a series of videos documenting and detailing the build of the front dash for my A10C simpit. This is for use with Digital Combat Simulator (DCS).

Part 3: In this video I modify the frame design so it will work with my simpit.

The front dash when completed will include:
Landing Gear and Flap Control Panel
Armament HUD Control Panel (AHCP)
Heading Attitude Reference (HARS) Fast Erect Button
Indicator Lights (Gun, Nose Wheel Steering, Marker and Canopy)
UHF Frequency Repeater
Angle of Attack Indicator
Digital Clock
Standby Attitude Indicator (SAI)
Left & Right Multifunction Color Displays (MFCD)
Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) Display
Airspeed Indicator
Countermeasures Set Control (CMSC)
Vertical Velocity Indicator (VVI)
Altimeter
Attitude Direction Indicator (ADI)
Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI)
Fuel Quantity and Hydraulic Indicator Panel
Navigation Mode Select Panel
Target Identification Set Laser Panel (TISL)
T-Handles (Fire Extinguisher Discharge)
Air Refuel Status Lights
Angle of Attack Indexer
Up Front Controller (UFC)

The front dash build will be spread over a period of many months as I want to take time to get each panel to a certain minimum standard. Time will be needed to research, design, build, and test.

Thanks to:

FSF Ian - The developer of DCS BIOS. Thank you for your development of this fantastic software

Dimebug - Producer of A10C Front Dash Stencil - Free plans

Phil (father in law) - Thank you for use of your CNC machine, the large amount of time we spent together cutting these panels. I very much appreciate the discussions around methods of construction, effective tool usage, and general best practice across a whole range of subjects (ranging from electronics and mechanics to CNC and wood working).

Claire (Wife) - Thank you for your patience in understanding my need to build this.
