AW: [simpits-tech] Marv's Rudder Pedals - Update

[A L B E R T]

Thanks for the detail reply Marv,

Another question regarding the guages, how will they work? do they need
another computer feeding data into themusing software such as F4 glass?
Or are they aimed for Epic (higher end) approach?

I know the question is probably abit silly...but when you mention servo
driven guages...I got no idea what that is other than they are guages how it
runs I have no clue.

Cheers,

Albert
