Whether you buy stock or not, Google IS your friend.

Will the gauges work in AH2? Is there a game output that will drive the various gauges? I was thinking about building a simpit myself but using just switches and a Hagstrom card to interface with the PC. I would love to be able to build one with working guages. I have been saving various switches and Pots for this project. Hope to have it built by Xmas. I dont plan on making it match any particular aircraft. I just want a unique setup that will even further take me away from reality. Like I need to do that..lol

An EPIC card i think would be the way to go,however the hagstom is just as good.To interface,you'll need flight data and dedicated PC.That will be next phase in my project,BTW,you have any 700mph indicators? an extra one maybe? we could do a swap with what i have or i may buy if price is right.:)
let me know

Sorry I have no guages yet. Wasnt going to invest in them If I couldnt get them to work. I was looking at some on Ebay and they can get real pricey. Already looking at dropping quite a bit of cash on this thing. I sure dont want it to get out of control like everything else always does...OMG here I go again...lol
