[simpits-tech] Interesting new product from Saitek...

[Rick Davis]

Phil,

I couldn't get my head around it and lacking in time. Putting all the gauges together was a bit of a project in itself. I just don't have the eyesight or patience with a soldering pencil any more and after about 5000 TV repairs under my belt I've lost my taste for that. I did manage to get the SDK working for both X-Plane 8.64 as well as V9 series, so now it works on them as well as FS 2004 and FSX. 

Jeese ... now I'll probably have to go down and fire the puppy up tonight!

Contact me off list about the Garmin 530.

R

          Hey Phil!

          It's all together and works great aside from the Garmin (which is project for someone else.) The Yoke is installed and it's NICE. 

          I have been so busy with the Video thing I doubt I'll have time to do much flying for a long time. It's been sitting in the basement with a plastic sheet over it for three months or more, so I think it's probably a unit better in someone's basement that can get some enjoyment and use out of it. Of course I'd like to just keep it there under a plastic sheet in case I ever get the itch again, but wedding vows and all that you know.

          My sanity has been questioned more than once around here! ha ha

          Rick

                  Hey Rick,
                  You get that thing off the ground yet?


                    Take care and have a great day!

                    What did buddy on there say he was? A senior product developer? Didn't look 
                    to me like he even know what he was talking about. Says they made it so you 
                    can snap three of them together .... hmmmm.... let's see, I wonder which 
                    three? Something has got to go it seems.

                    Before any of you cats go out there and buy any of that, I will most likely 
                    be selling my 172 panel c/w 18 working Simkits gauges and the Simkits CCU1 
                    before the summer is out.

                    If you'd like more info contact me off list. I can send along some eye 
                    candy.
