thx for posting, wasnt aware saitek had added more gadgets to their lineup

i suspect they might not work with the current il2 (many similar devices dont), but hopefully BoB will be more open to interacting with hardware instruments

STUNNING!But pricey at well over £100 and would ya be able to afford 6 of em stacked together as in pic!?

[ytareh]

And does it work with IL2 even?

IMHO

It looks like crap and costs WAY too much, that lot costs @ £ 330.00 or $535.00

I just looks so YUK !!!




If you want to spend some serious money on gauges and stuff have a look here and weep

If they could make something inbetween looking good and costing a resonable price I might be up for adding some immersion but !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing isn't it.

You can already place all of those instruments at the bottom of screen as a standard feature of FSX and fly the wonder woman view in FSX.

I mean what would a standalone instrument do for you?

If you are flying the cockpit or virtual cockpit you can see those instruments. So.. you want to see them in two places?

It is confusing to me, how would you use something like this, that makes any sense?

Looks like a loser to me.

It is an immersion - thing, nearmiss.

Going by some of the cockpit building threads I've seen, there's a fine line between immersion and craziness.

Wonder what happens if you lose the keys?

Having said that, there's some stunning engineering and fabrication exhibited.

You can create your own interface as they come with an SDK, so I would assume you would use Device Link.

Their purpose is to allow you to maximise your screen area for viewing and have these displays for cover the instruments.

A couple of buddies of mine are looking at using these displays to build an pit for CASA certification.
