value for money |
Simbuilding shouldn’t be an expensive hobby.
And reaching for a result that is close to reality should
remain affordable. That is why we try to offer
the best price/quality ratio. And that’s
a lot of quality, if you keep reading on.

| Most
compact instruments on the market |
| There
is no reason why a simulated instrument like a gauge must
have the same dimension as the actual gauge. With stepper
motor driven G-STEP technology our gauges have a depth
of approx. 1 inch or 25 mm. This reduces dramatically
the depth of your panel and allows for easy access and
maintenance. Furthermore it reduces the prices, because
there is no housing. |
 |
| Plug
& Play |
| Absolutely
no programming. Not one single line of code. Just assign
a gauge, a switch, a led to the respective Flight Simulator
function, which can be an instrument, a switch position
or an annunciator light. The calibration of each gauge
is performed once in our software and is automaticly with
each start of FS. |
 |
| daisy
chained instruments |
| Because
your cable goes directly into any next gauge, you don't
need a cluttering of cables from each instrument to the
central control unit. With the daisy chained instruments,
you simply connect 1 instrument with the Central Interface
board. Spagetti times behind your panel are over. |
 |
| Processor
distributed process power |
| Now
this sounds difficult, but it’s nothing more than
distributing the control of instruments over several processors,
which allows for a faster and more flexible programming
without overflowing the central processors capacity. Compare
it to the in ICT well-known Client-Server concept. |

| G-STEP®
technology |
Flight
Illusion created this G-STEP® technology in order
to overcome jerky movements and offer an acceptable solution
for spacing.
By using stepper motor instead of servo motors, the G-STEP®
gauges are moving in exactly the same way as when seen
on the panel on screen.
Each full rotation of a needle is divided into 1080 steps,
resulting in a smooth and precise indication with an extreemly
quick response time. And in crucial phases of your flight,
this might be very important. |
 |
| USB
connection |
| The
Central Interface Module connects trhough a standard USB
sokket. That allows for fast data transfer. |
 |
| Professional
components |
| Flight
illusion is using components that are coming straight
from the automotive industry (fuel meters, mph gauges,
etc); where they have proven their reliability. Stepper
motors are also a much cheaper alternative to the more
expensive servo motors found in other simulator gauges |
|
| Generic
design/dedicated design |
The
single needle large and small gauges can assign any gauge
that operates with one needle. Our interface is not airplane
dependable and can assign values to any G-STEP-SN, like
flap position, angle of attack or even radio altimeter.
Now this one could have been the top advantage.
Our G-STEP-SD is the only instrument featuring a digital
readout. This allows for a use in several types
of panels. You will not find this kind of gauge anywhere
else |
