F-16 simpit work in progress

This is awesome! All the small details and everything is working ... I wish I had one of these for my F/A-18C :)

Fantastic! I wish have one in my house!

[@dbcobbster]

Great work! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@ComdrStew]

Very nice. I have a video on my channel, sitting in the F16A cockpit trainer at the Air Force Museum in Dayton, OH. I'm getting ready to build a F-18 cockpit starting tomorrow.

[@georgemallory797]

Jebus, I'd start worrying about Homeland Security or FBI showing up at your house. Scary real.

[@Autopilot_Austin]

Hi! This looks great! I am in the process of building an ICP currently. I was wondering what you used for your 4 way directional switch? I cannot seem to find a decent solution for that switch! Thanks!

[@stefellbt]

I bought the real mil-spec from the US.

[@theVRpilot]

Stefaan Ellebaut milspec icp? Can u share from where? Thank you, amazing build.

[@stefellbt]

@@theVRpilot Not the entire ICP is mil-spec; only the switches. The 4 way DCS switch I ordered at Mouser (contact via mouser.com and request a quote for part number 999-T4-CN211N and specifically ask for the square bat and include a picture to make sure they select the correct one)

[@VirtualGamesPlay]

wow !! Respect !

[@KhoaNguyen-gl2zg]

This is awesome man! May I ask which resources you use to build up these models? I really want to start building one. Thanks in advance man, this look so cool!

[@stefellbt]

It all depends on how good you are to manufacture pieces of your own vs purchasing premade stuff, and how realistic you want it (e.g. correct locking type switches & knob types vs from the shelfs DIY store switches) Be sure to register op viperpits.org. There's over 1,5 decade of knowledge on that forum. Ranging from cheap and DIY solutions to insane high fidelity pits.

[@KhoaNguyen-gl2zg]

@@stefellbt For manufacturing pieces, do you advise to purchase a cnc machine for yourself or just go straight to some shop to get it done? Which one would me more economical? Also, the electrical part, do we have any programming to make it match with the in game?

[@stefellbt]

@@KhoaNguyen-gl2zg Depends on how skilled you are and how fast you can learn I assume. Check viperpits, there are several people offering readily custom made F-16 pit parts, that's perhaps more expensive but immediately correct :) Electronics, several options. I found Pokeys to be the most practical.

[@KhoaNguyen-gl2zg]

@@stefellbt Thanks so much man! I'm very inspired to be a fighter pilot, but that's gonna be a long way. This might quench my thirst for that at the moment :D

[@Sky_Ellie]

Looks very realistic

[@mfmees]

really nice ICP

[@esphilee]

Insane detail!! Awesome work!! What is the comment from your wife?

[@stefellbt]

She doesn't care :) As long as it's with my privately saved money and remains in my mancave...

[@esphilee]

@@stefellbt excellent!! I have always been dreaming to build one when I was a kid. It wasn’t easy back then, As there was no Arduino, no 3D printer, no online resources. I think it is more doable nowadays, even though it is still not an easy project.

[@Mujiboy]

Brilliantly made, What Do You think Will be a very good price estimate for all of this, Aside from the Computer...

[@stefellbt]

It all depends on how good you are to manufacture pieces of your own vs purchasing premade stuff, and how realistic you want it (e.g. correct locking type switches & knob types vs from the shelfs DIY store switches). It can vary from 2K to over 25K...

[@Mujiboy]

@@stefellbt Thanks For this, 2k is a nice price, but it requires 3d printers and stuff. Plan to do something once I can get a pc that can Handle DCS , But my options are limited as I also want eye tracking so I can look back and Stuff, Anyways Thanks again For this.

[@marekmazur2925]

Wow!!! Great job!

[@guyincognito-1]

I love that you are farther along in your simpit than your home Reno's. Priority. You're doing it right.

[@Thedoctv]

Could this work also for vr? would this be accurate enough that you can press the correct buttons while in vr?

[@stefellbt]

No, because each time you spawn into VR 3D your head will be a little bit offset to the previous time and to the actual cockpit. It will not be properly aligned in 99,99% of the time. If you want best of both worlds, we need to wait til augmented reality becomes affordable: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGXcfICVe8yAhac

Sorry I don't. Sourced from numerous parties. Parts self build, others from eBay, vipergear, flightsimshop etc. Check viperpits.org for sure.

[@p.imprint]

Where did you buy the mfd?

[@stefellbt]

The bezel with OSB's? Those are standard Thrustmaster MFD's. The displays behind them are 2x 10.4" LCD's to use for RWR & MFD left, and SADI, FFI & MFD right.

Unfortunately I currently don't have the room to correctly place such monitor so I'll have to stick with my 40" 4K for the moment :(

[@humberto367]

Hello, Stefan! your ICP is backlit, would it be possible to share your Gerber file please? thanks!!

[@stefellbt]

I can't. Wasn't 3D printed. (and I didn't make it myself).

[@humberto367]

@@stefellbt Stef is the PCB of the ICP, your ICP is backlit, got it!

[@stefellbt]

@@humberto367 Yes, it's a transparant acrylic front plate painted black in the front and laser engraved with the labels. The pcb behind it has green leds, so when activated, the leds shine through the lasered parts of the front panel.

Single setup problem: Dogfighting.

[@stefellbt]

Sorry, don't understand what you are trying to say?

[@YgorMontenegro]

@@stefellbt Your setup is perfect, but dogfighting on it will be harder.

[@stefellbt]

@@YgorMontenegro No it's not a problem. In this video I hadn't activated my trackIR, but I have a headmotion tracker built into my HGU-55/P helmet. I can activate and deactivate it with a switch so when dogfighting or having to fly in formation or something I can just activate it. You can see the white USB cable of my tracker coming out of my helmet left side in this other video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnm7lKyNn5yUfNU And you can see some of the in game video's I recorded when using it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e329qJV_ja1nsM0

You can't, this is custom made. All parts bought in several places. If you want a good starting point, take a look at viperwing.com Other suppliers of several parts are realsimulator.com, www.realsimworld.dk, vipergear.eu Viperwings is Polish, Vipergear is Dutch, realsimulator is Spanish and RealsimWorld is Danish. So all those shops are within the European Union. I don't really know any shops that offer things in the US or Asia.
