<font face="arial" size=2>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?</font><br>
