Hi all F16 pitters,

I run into a small problem...or rather = a small=20 question mark in my head tonight.

The left side panel in the pit...each = "individual"=20 black panels for all the switches and knobs...are they mounted "edge to = edge"=20 next to each other? or do they have a "small" gap = inbetween?

Cos' from the photo resources i have = seen.They do=20 appears to. However, in a black and white plan (that 2mb BMP file) it = looked as=20 if they had a small space inbetween them.

Can anyone verify that?

Many thanks.

Hello Albert,

I=20 can't confirm your question for sure, but I checked all my=20 pictures I have from the Viper-pit and all this stuff are showing = small=20 gap between the left-side panels (horizontally and vertically) -=20 I considered the distances with 2mm within my=20 drawings.

The left side panel in the = pit...each=20 "individual" black panels for all the switches and knobs...are they = mounted=20 "edge to edge" next to each other? or do they have a "small" gap=20 inbetween?

Cos' from the photo resources i = have seen.They=20 do appears to. However, in a black and white plan (that 2mb BMP = file) it=20 looked as if they had a small space inbetween them.

Can anyone verify = that?

Also Roy, can u kindly explain this 8 stepper motors with a resolution of 400 steps revolution? Can it be used across a variety of sim in particular Falcon4 SP for us F16 pitters? I like the sound of the USB interface. I never considered to get into having functional gauges in my pit. Even if I wanted to, I have no idea how to do it... not to mention the possible cost involved. Your proposition has aroused my curiosity. Cheers, Al Sydney, Australia
