Real Gauge

Does anyones know how to build real gauge hardware and software ??

Making 'hardware' gauges is quite difficult (using servo etc), but there's a company selling this gauges for FS2002 (currently Cessna gauges only) :

Thanks i know these product, but what i look for is more a DIY project to do myself those gauge instead of buying them.

Electrical gauges is simple since you just change the baground picture of the gauges.

For instrument like VSI, VOR, ASI and standard A/H (non-aerobatic) you can use Model-Servo for it.

I don't know about 360 degrees servo, but if you find about it then making the DGI and ADF gauges not too difficult.

The hard part is Altimeter! It works like watch, then watch maker could help you with the gearing mechanism.

For interfacing you must know basic Microcontroller design/programming. :)
