  1. it's possible. Not easy but possible. Depending on the gauge. I would gut it out and replace the internals with a servo motor and a controller card. I interfaced a real wet compass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TglWZvNalDQsome tips on how i built it here http://www.my757sim.com/Sim-Building-Tips check out these sites for more tips:http://mycockpit.org/http://cockpitbuilders.com/http://my757sim.comhttp://www.lekseecon.nl/ if you want to interface it using the built-in mechanics check out this site/book:http://www.mikesflightdeck.com Hope this helps


  2. Hello,love fs2crew voice commander for the level-d 767.How about an option for de-icing?as suggested in this thread:http://www.cockpitbuilders.com/community/index.php?topic=1400.msg10537;topicseen#new"Heres all you need.. about 4 min of swishing sound (to be realistic). When complete, a voice comes on the radio and says something like this. " OK (airline flt number).. deicing complete, start time 0830, end time 0834. 50-50 mix TYPE I, 100% TYPE 4. Employee number (whatever). Flash your lights when ready to taxi, contact ground control, have a nice day. "doesn't sound too difficult!thank you. great work.


  3. Twisted, I just want to get this straight before I spend a boat load of money. So if you have lets say 6 monitors, you can Eyefinity 3 of them together for the main virtual view, and run 3 monitors off a second card for gauges and such? If you can get decent FPS, this would be incredible (running an i7 975 with 1 ATi 5870 at the moment).
    Yeah you can do that with 2 eyefinity cards I currently use 6 monitors1 5850 card for 3 outside views 1 Older ati card for panels connected to a dualhead2go for panels and the second output connected to a CDU Screen, all from 1 core2duo 3.0ghz PC. It runs good.twisted8.jpg

  4. Do you guys have the same screen resolution in Windows as well as in FSX settings? I've had problems in full screen using different resolutions but when the resolutions match it works great. For example if my resolutions in Windows is 1680 x 1050, in the FSX settings the resolution has to be 1680 x 1050


  5. I tried it recently and it works just as described, good product! I had some problems with the voice recognition understanding my voice but that's a combination of my accent + windows. Nothing to do with the program. Just need to train the PC better to recognize my voice more accurately. give it a try, it really is free and it works good. It forces you to learn better ATC phraseology. Tho limited to waht FSX default ATC can do.


  6. For sure, all good points!I mean even if it was arrows that pointed right/left and stop I would be happy. For me it's hard to park right at the gate without using the outside view, and the arrows on the ground at that point are not really visible. Time to learn how to make add-ons hehehe


  7. Gary, I'm using FSX but I did some quick testing. When using super-sample I didn't notice the picture quality looking much better but the frame hit is major. I've been using multi-sample and it gives me good results. I don't think my machine can handle super-sample either but I don't find it necessary. Are you not happy with the result from multi-sample? I just read your post better, I didn't try it without clouds but at least with clouds it def takes a frame hit.


  8. No problem!A little update for anybody considering eyefinity vs. triplehead2go. I was having random freezes using full screen mode and as it turns out my 530W power supply was not good enough for this new ATI card. I upgraded to an 850W supply and now it runs great. Something to keep in mind if you are comparing cost.ATI 5850 $250 + Displayport to DVI adapter $100 + New power supply + $120
