Re: Flight director's
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

Re: Flight director's
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.

Re: Flight director's
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.

Re: Flight director's
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?

Re: Flight director's
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
