Hi guys,
My name is Tim Soetaert from Belgium (callsign "Fouga"). I am in the =
research stage of building my own Fouga cockpit sim. Since all of the =
instruments are old gauges from the 1950's, i'm looking for info or =
articles about converting normal instruments into computer driven ones. =
I would like to start with the altitude Gauge. it has readings for =
10.000, 1000 and 100's feet. the inside has some kind of barometric =
element. Anyone know how to convert it? Can i use an USB connection? do =
i use some kind of electric motor?
please help,
Fouga
