Can you say "understatement"?  I considered using actual gauges in my simpit, but they range from $150-$1,500 each, assuming you can even find them in the first place.

One of them is in the UK, the other is in the USA.

Also they seem to be fabricating all the parts themselves.

Getting steam gauges to work with electronic inputs will require a lot of tinkering and servos :P
