DCS: Black Shark Weapons Panel Demo (Sim)

Demo of my Weapons panel for DCS: Black Shark. The panel is made from 6mm acrylic, the front overlay is printed on a laser printer, then laminated for durability and finally glued to the acrylic.

The switches, displays and LED's are connected to an IOCard MasterCard + DisplayCardII from Opencockpits http://www.opencockpits.com

hey the rate switch is also mapped to ammo type for gun?

@commandosolo2009 Just a demo, flip a switch and see if all the LED, Displays work etc......see my other videos for the "real" deal :-)

I've been debating about OpenCockpits kit for some time - that's it, I am sold! Very nice work sir, now I need to get working on SIOC and all that.... Thanks.

No problem, I've written a few scripts to get data to and from DCS so now the ammo-counters, station indicators function properly. See the ED Forum (search for post by Oakes)

This is excellent cockpit builder brother. Where did you source the acrylic? And are the lights driven by the software or the switch? (ie is it possible for the lights to get out of sync if the sim misses the switch click? not a problem of course...just wondering how you have it set up).

[KA50Oakes]

Acrylic: I went to a local glazier and bought a couple of scrap pieces.

The LEDs are driven by the SIOC software, independent of the actual switches. I.e. the LED can be on/off directly from software. Unfortunately there is now feedback from DCS:BS to SIOC at this point => LEDs can get out of sync.

@macieksoft no, If you notice the long short switch there is 2 of them, besides AP/HE. My educated guess would be that he wanted to show us outside/inside hardpoints, AP/HE, Long/Short Cannon RoF before mapping them.

@commandosolo2009 maybe you thinking about burst switch, rate switch in lower right side on panel and have writed LOW and HIGH.

maybe this is a testing software before connect to simulator but burst switch who changing gun rounds amount looks like funny.

@KA50Oakes man, you should post a vid of the final cockpit... I'm sure its gonna be biblical XD

Dang, your stuff is really top-quality! I've been thinking about starting work on a Black Shark pit, but it would never be as cool as yours.
