Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Hello everyone, You have have known awhile back me and my father started a small business called Realitysimconversions (www.realitysimconversions.com). We have recently expanded our stock and our offering of services to appeal to a broader range of customers. We specialise in converting real aircraft instruments for use with simulators, namely FS2004/FSX, using the Opencockpits SIOC program. Recently, we have rethought our service offerings and have come to the conclusion that not everybody wants pre-interfaced instruments. Many, many people out there wish to simply buy low-priced real-world instruments for use as an antique, collectible, or otherwise. As a result, we are now selling real-world instruments that can be optionally interfaced to MSFS for a price premium. To increase the appeal of our products, we are now selling them as Plug&Play. This means that all you do is plug the instrument in via a USB port, start the SIOC program... And then run FS2004/FSX! Simple with an outstanding result. As our website is in the process of being rebuilt, these items are being sold on Ebay. We are offering five instruments, namely: All instruments are genuine British Engineered gauges removed from real aircraft. Nimrod Vertical Speed Indicator (two available) This instrument is in great condition. It has a scale ranging from 0 to +/- 6000 FPM (feet per minute). It will make a fantastic addition to any simulator, notably Boeing or Military aircraft. It would still suit any GA aircraft too! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330517085868&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT Smiths Airspeed Indicator (100-700 Knots) A rare ASI Gauge that I have not seen anywhere else. Its unique scale of 100-700 Knots makes it the perfect candidate for fast flying Jet aircraft, along with heavy-duty props such as the Beechcraft Duke. It is manufactured by Smiths, England. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330517102805&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT Smiths Fuel Gauge (0-1400 Lbs Pounds) This beauty is my favourite of the lot. It is in outstanding condition. The service plate still shines and the glass is crystal clear. With a range of 0-1400 Pounds this mainly suits GA aircraft; Cessna, Beechcraft, Mooney and Piper will all willingly work with this instrument. Sangamo Weston ILS Indicator This instrument is in poor/fair condition. With a little care, this instrument can easily be nursed back to great condition. If you want us to interface this, we will clear the Gauge of any existing problems before sending it. This gauge suits smaller aircraft equipped with ILS, such as Cessnas and Pipers. As previously mentioned, ANY of the above instruments can be shipped "as is" (antique, etc) - Or they can be USB interfaced for use with Flight Simulator. Prices listed on Ebay are for the Gauges "as is". For the cost of interfacing, please do not hesitate to PM or email me. I will answer all questions. Thank you very much for reading this post. Please note, no transactions are carried out here on Mutley's Hangar but rather via PayPal. Please PM if interested. Happy landings, Jack :icon_thumbup: Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Hey - an ILS without an OBS knob - thanks for showing us that, Jack! I've been giving JF stick for the similar one in their DC-3! Now I'd better eat my words, eh?!? BTW, ever come across instruments by Negretti and Zambra? They'd be oil-pressure or temperature, I think... Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
Tim_A 997 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 If you d/l the Twin Pioneer (and probably others) from http://www.classicbritishfiles.com/ you'll see exactly that instrument. In fact there's a panel shot on the front page. Link to post Share on other sites
