    Sure! But I'd have to find the gauge first. Mine is just a dummy made from the Boeing light plate and a 35mm camera skylight filter.

    PM or post it here for everyone.

    Can this be done with the engine gauges as well?

    Would be interested to know how to do for the Overhead APU gauge.(EGT)
    I do not use PMSystem so I'd like the gauge needle to turn slowly about 300° clockwise when I switch the APU start toggle and revert to 0 when switched off

    Doable?

    You're on! I'll send a Paypal if you accept that next Friday. Is this USB? I don't currently have any sort of a card except a Hagstrom.

    How does this communicate with FS9?

    Thanks!!!

    Send me your e-mail address in a PM for the Paypal!

    With FS9, you are going to need a servo IOCard from opencockpits, a servo, and a couple of electronics parts. Doable for around 100.00

    I'm afraid I'm going to hold off for now. I didn't think it would be that easy or cheap.

    I'm keeping this topic in mind for down the road.

    Why a servo card? just want to drive the gauge from a switch?

    What do you think?

    Don't you need a 400Hz power supply to drive the synchros?

    I experimented with this technique too but I had only a few instruments that were working with synchros, so I decided to replace them with Simkits.

    Of course it looks more authentic with real instruments but it will be more expensive. Servos, synchros, power supply....
