Title: Instrument Panel
Post by: Hedworx on February 26, 2008, 12:28:40 PM
Has anybody else seen this from Saitek?  I guess for now it will just be for Flight Simulator.  No cost or size is mentioned.

Pro Flight Instrument Panel

Compact colour LCD screen which works with Flight Simulator software to display real time cockpit instrument information.
