Yes everything had to go through FSUIPC, but now we have SimConnect, 
more doors open!

EPIC was old school and builders who invested in it are slow to give 
up on all the time and money.

There are so many card builders on the market today, but the sad part 
is how long they stay in business.
The panel makers like FDS are entering into the electronics game, and 
the software guys like project magenta are selling hardware. Someone 
starting a 737 today just needs money and a shipping address.

More and more stuff is going to be plug and play.

Leo makes great stuff, I am using his load cell amps to generate the 
proper input levels from load cells and a old Plasma module. Hope to 
get the 1 x Plasma-Lite + 1 x NITRO expansion cards then the analog 
out will be solved
