Real car instrument cluster

[M.Mos]

This might be intressting for cockpit builders. Leo Bodnar (developer of the BBU863 (http://www.lbodnar.dsl.pipex.com/joystick/index.html)) come up with a USB car instrument cluster controller. The idea is to use an unmodified car cluster, currently Audi is supported BMW is on the way. Well ppl did something simillar before, but in very complicated way with rc-servos and stuff :pillepalland by RS232.

Heres a video (http://www.lbodnar.dsl.pipex.com/rFactor_with_real_dash.mp4) showing the cluster and rfactor, and the thread (http://forum.rscnet.org/showthread.php?t=249774)at RSC.
LFS cant supply the needed datas, can it?

No, it can't. but there is chance that it will be feature of lfs in the future.
Some time ago Scawen told us that he is thinking about implementing something like an OutGauge-System

Can't it be done with the InSim commands. I think you'll get a better answer in the programmers forum.
