Re[3]: [simpits-tech] converting instruments

[Chris Woodul]

Hey Gene,

For the record, the cockpits, the instruments, and Matts boxes and
converters didnt cost a penny cept phone calls and Fedexing! So I prefer the
method of stimulating applicable insturments. I still have to convert the
2in. Pnuematic Stby instruments( stby A/S, stby ALT, stby VSI) I also have a
simulated Wet Compass, as well as a Simulator Self Contained Stby Attitude
Indicator.
I would go insane trying to convert the F-111's Vertical Tape instruments
into having all new motors. Matts way is the best way for me.

Chris
