Of course flightsim will show 7 segment readings of Battery voltages, however not analog readings, so I needed this circuit to my Power supply to appear for the eye candy.

    I would give you to 2 bucks you request LOL

    I purchased 2 cheap analog volt meters (actual multimeter's) and am going to rip the meter off and extend the cables. But if I had seen this in advance,m I would have used this method instead.

    thanks buddy.

    You know, this circuit would still work on your multimeter's Trevor. Just a thought.

    I didn't think about that, but it would be a good idea. Instead of Faking the 28 Volts for the aircraft, I could use it to monitor the powers supply 5V and 12V lines. Good Idea John. Thanks for the Tidbit.

    Bob, Yes I could use the schematic, but I don't need the Capacitor to charge to create a delay, I would actually want them to show me the voltage ASAP. I think I will consider this all as an option, while I am working on finishing the Overhead this week.

    Thanks for the Ideas Guys!

    Well..Just to clarify, i am doing a simulation for engine ground run and the voltmeter is used for the outflow valve gauge.How it works is tat when the switch is pushed, it will simulate the outflow vave being opened or closed and that will be reflected on the gauge.

    And by the way, thks for the great help

    cheers
