Gotta run to work but I found this:

Im surprised I haven't run into this before and Im looking forward to using this software when I get time, especially for the king air I love to fly

Looks good!

If my ATC squadron get around to building their flight sims (I am part of the project) then I think this would be a cheaper alternative to having many analog-type gauges (though I prefer them)

I imagine cutting out a wooden or similar frame with the gauge slots in the right place and then putting that over the screen would give it a good gaugey feel. Perhaps a bit of plastic casing over that too...

[JSpahn]

I think the key to using gauges on an LCD screen is to use some sort of anti-glare coating so the light transmission from the screen doesn't reflect off the overlay too much thus looking more like an actual analog gauge.

Perfect, I have been looking for this!! now I have a dozen 15" crt monitors in my garage and I think I just found a home for a few!!

Thanks.

have you used this? does it lag you down?

can you move them wherever you want?

[JSpahn]

I havent used them much but the GA gauges can be moved with key commands and the other software runs in its own window.  

You are aware you will need FSUIPC to run them on a network?

[newberiffic]

I have the puters to start a network if I need  but my current setup supports 5 monitors and 2 tvs. works ok with fs9 but can only run 2 monitors in fsx or i get major st..st...studders.

I have 2 geforce 5200's 256mb (standard pci)  and onboard video.  I know I know everyone says those cards are junk... but they work great for me.

I currently only use 3 screens one for forward outside 1 for panel, and one for radios.

the new beamer is scheduled for delivery today and I start on the new pit.
