The Fwd and Aft Overheads are now equipped with a total of 8 gauges (meters):
- Fuel Temp
- EGT
- Diff Press and Cabin Alt
- Cabin Climb
- Temp
- Duct Press
- Valve
- Oxy Press
The installation of the gauges in the overhead went pretty smoothly. The servo's are configured with a Pololu micro controller and Prosim737. The backlighting of the gauges also works via Prosim737 and a Pokeys micro controller + a Pokeys Led Extension Board.
As in the MIP, these gauges also Custom Sim Parts.
These gauges are quite cheap, have a beautiful realistic backlighting and are a simple way to configure it.
