Excellent build, well designed/simple build. You put a lot of effort into these builds and it is appreciated

@CaptainBobSim Жыл бұрын

Much appreciated! I try to build everything as simple as I can - it helps it so that there are (usually) less points of failure.

Great updated version of this tutorial, Trevor! I have just switched my cockpit sim to MSFS and this guide had my modified flaps switch (and whiskey compass) running nicely in no time. In my case, I just needed to add some transform values for the servo position.

Flaps lever is like magic stick in the hands of wizard........ ...How does airplane flies? Magic engine and propeller, 1/2 magic horizonal stabilizers, and the most magic are the wings with flaps creating lift and drag, lift and drag Forces on the wings.: yaw/roll forces, Pitch forces.: the lift and the Ground force........

In a way it controls things so I guess it's a magic stick!

Hi! You did a great job and I wanted to have a go at making it and I was wandering if you need supports when printing the parts?

@CaptainBobSim 10 ай бұрын

No need if you printer does well with bridging, but I'd enable them to be safe.

Hi Trevor, I've been away some time, but back on X-plane 11 and arduino again. Can you do both the indicator and the lever in Air Manager? The indicator is working fine, but not for the lever...

MobiFlight sadly keeps printing the warn on flaps input value "change" as if I was rotating the potentiometer even tho I'm not even touching it. Have you ever cross this issue before?

I have a problem with my servos. When I press "test" in Mobiflight, the servo moves. When I press "stop" nothing happens. Maybe someone can help me? Thank you!

noob question here! firstly this is sick!! secondly, does this work on arduino leonardo/pro micro? and does the software you are using replace the need for arduino IDE? making it easier to configure potentimeters, buttons and switches easier for simulators?

@CaptainBobSim 7 ай бұрын

Hello! Here are the supported modules according to the site: Arduino Mega, Arduino Mega Pro Mini, Arduino Pro Micro, Arduino Uno, Arduino Nano This replaces the need for Arduino IDE, which makes it a lot easier for people without coding experience :) Welcome aboard!

Amazing work on the Cessna 172! I was wondering if you could do some tutorials on the fusion 360 side of things, as there don’t seem to be any tutorials showing how to design stuff for flight sims in fusion 360. And I have another question, where do you find electronic components in fusion 360 that you can use to design stuff? I want to make some stuff but can’t find the electronic component models. Thank you, and good luck!

Great suggestion! I did some CAD videos back in the day on designing my shell but nothing nitty gritty. My last live stream I did some CAD kzfaq.info6HXtWVU_os4?feature=share The reason I haven't done a CAD video is because it takes for-freaking-ever. The CAD shell series was about 20 hours edited down to 2 hours. It didn't really get a lot of attention - I think it was quite boring. Maybe a tutorial of something would be cool! The main issue is that to do a tutorial it should be polished and well thought out, but in reality my cad process is somewhat messy/nonlinear. What are your thoughts?

@CaptainBobSim Жыл бұрын

I find my models on GrabCAD. It saves loads of time. Also designing them myself where I can't find a good model.

@alekZL3ALK Жыл бұрын

@@CaptainBobSim Thank you for the reply! Maybe if you do a video showing the basic process of how you design something in fusion, doesn’t have to be anything in depth. I can find plenty of videos building cockpit parts, and almost none showing the design process, so anything would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for the link to the livestream, I was trying to find it but all of your livestreams from less than 1 year ago are unlisted. Thank you for the reply, I’ll try going through the livestream for the process.
