I have seen some products such as the ones at http://www.simkits.com that allow you to have instruments and gauges that sit on your desk, instead of using monitor real estate. I can't afford their $300+ price tag to put an attitude indicator on my desk, so I want to build my own hardware instead.
These are my questions: How can I extract information about the state of gauges and instruments from fs2002? The only thing I've found is fsuipc, but it doesn't seem to be very comprehensive. Is there a download somewhere that allow me to get information about the instruments and gauges in real time? Is there a download somewhere that will allow me to send information about instrument settings to fs2002? There is a download called Radiosv1.0 that allows you to connect a palm pilot to fs2002 and use it as an "extended gauge" that appears to use 2-way communication with fs2002, and allows you to set ADF freq.'s from the palm pilot. Is there a download out there that will allow me to do this kind of 2-way communication with a usb device? Is there a more appropriate forum for these questions?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
