Hey all,

I am a student developing a 737-NG simulator from a 707 cockpit in the university of Limerick. I have managed to develop the pitch artificial feel system but i am having trouble with one small aspect. I am using a electrical-mechanical actuator which uses a varying voltage from 0V to 9.9V. As the airspeed increases it increases the voltage of the actuator which increases the stiffness of the spring which gives the artificial feel. I was wondering if you have any idea how to extract an airspeed signal from the sim to link to this actuator eother using the software or electrical components? The software we use is MS 2004.

Thanks for any help.
David
