    that out.
    Right now it is 7 separate videos, total 2Gb.
    I will do some editing to the video over christmas, and let you know.

    I use Prosim737 and SIOC for interfacing. Prosim737 is very easy to work with. But I am sure you can find SIOC-code that fits your need and how you interface.

    May be a little too technical for me will have to investigate a little further . Would appreciate the video when you get around to it though .

    This process will work well with gauges with limited range of motion (fuel, Vertical Speed, Airspeed, etc) The trouble you run into with steam gauges is that some of them are very tricky to implement mechanically. Those that require unlimited movement like an altimeter or that require adjustment (vor 1, vor 2, adf) are very different animals. Do you want some mechanical gauges and some virtual?

    A little planning now will save you time and effort.

    I have played a little with Servos with an Arduino card, and in combination with Jim's interface software (found free here: http://www.jimspage.co.nz/intro.htm ) the simple gauges are pretty easy.

    I believe I promised to return with a link once I finished editing the video.
    Only took me 6 weeks….

    Anyway. My idea on how to make gauge easy and cheap:
