Hi Henry,
What do you mean?
Normally Flight Directors are visualized and driven by software like Project Magenta or Prosim737.
Best regards

Hi Jan
Well as I am Building a 737 Classic I need to somehow interface the clockwork flight directors such as this one:Attachment 8183

Henri, The attached link doesn't work

Sorry, I'll give you the direct link: http://www.aviafilms.com/photos/boei...-indicator.jpg

Henri,
You have two options for interfacing an ADI:
1. Build your own, and interface with servos and stepper motors. See this link: http://www.mycockpit.org/forums/cock...style-adi.html
2. Interface a real ADI using the V1 Avionics box when it comes out. See here: V1 Avionics, Inc. | Exploring new concepts in avionics engineering.
Good luck!

Hi Steve,
Thank you for the links, yet these do not explain how I can interface a Flight director with any software for use with servo's and mechanics.
Henri
It will require some engineering... You can open the instrument and look how does the F/D works (maybe analog output, maybe synchro) and try connecting it to for example Arduino (or somebody here was building servo to analog converter). Not easy, but possible.

That's Good news to me!
Thanks Pavel

Edit: Also, How could I interface the FD once I get into the PC... maybe an Offset?
Let me Re-phrase the question in a simpler format... How can I interface the FD not the ADI itself to work and operate as the flight director in flight sim such as Tinmouse or Ifly, PMDG .etc is there a sioc code, Fsuipc offset for the FD? Here is a pic of the part I want to interface:Attachment 8184
