Never built anything for a flight sim before so didn't really know that about rotary encoders. Thanks for the heads up bolox.
I guess that's why they range anything from 1$ to 30$ a piece.
So worst case scenario, I'l have to use more expensive ones, or improvise my own wiht buttons and some more gears.
Or, as you say, use a servo motor. That way, when you engage bombsight automation the wheel will turn with the game, another cool feature.
About the monitor, I read there are programs that will let you put gauges on seperate monitors, maybe there's something there. But that's just a bonus anyway...
