Hi Jack,
I found your post really amazing.

I have changed my mind, if I can be of help to make the SIOC script just let me know.

Nico

Hi Nico,

Thank you so very much for your offer to help; it is really, really appreciated and I'm sure I will find your advise invaluable!

In terms of programming, I'm planning on getting the Course Pointer finished first (as I said, I have done the code for this I just need to write it for the full 360 degrees). Then, I will begin on the VOR deviation bar, then finally the pulse counter (which, I think, should be fairly simple).

For the glideslope, I can use identical logic for the VOR deviation bar as they move in a similar fashion, just vertical instead of horizontal.

And, of course the flags and illumination just function like normal outputs, so I can do these.

So yes, I will certainly need your help at certain stages (after all, you know ALOT more about SIOC than I do!).

Once again, thanks so much for your offer to help; it is very kind of you! Also, I'm really glad you found the post interesting; it is certainly the most technical thing I've ever done, so I'm so glad it has paid off!

Fantastic read. Simbuilding at it's best!! 
Thanks for this.

Thanks Geremy for the kind compliments! Also, are you going to FSC Weston this Saturday? I'll be bringing the HSI with me for those who want a look.

PS: The Saitek Yoke you sent me arrived perfectly a few weeks back (a day after your email); I am so sorry I forgot to email you back, but rest assured you sent me a brilliant product!

Kindest regards,

Jack

Absolutely brilliant. Well done and thanks for sharing the pics of the internals

Wow, that's fantastic. How did you power the motors ? I mean, they must probably be powered by some exotic voltage ? I have an original Boeing 737 flaps indicator but I always thought the 24V / 400Hz was a bit daunting. However your post has inspired me to take a closer look at it.

Fantastic work! Congratulations!

Hi !

Great stuff !
Have you tried connecting it to fsx already ? I'm wondering if your running into the same problems I was having ! Mostly motor speeds . If you hook one of the needles up to let's say vor 1 or 2 they have to run quick to keep up not to loose any steps and just start pointing in any direction .

Best regards Remco

Hi Remco,

Yes indeed, I know exactly what you mean. I have the motors set to maximum speed in the script... And that's the best you can do really. I don't tend to perform violent turns that often so it isn't much of a problem.
