    Hi all, just wondering what simtool can do for BMS 4.33.

    I would like to make some gauge, is it possible?

    Why not do a detailed post about your static sim pit and what you plan for motion.

    Wow, Thank you so much for you help, noorbeast. Actually, I am not yet thinking of make my sim pit for motion (maybe after i changed a big home). I just want to make some gauge like RPM for my pit. I am new here, and still learning how to. is it possible to use simtools to make a gauge for Falcon BMS?

    once again, thank you very much for your gold. ^^

    As I mentioned earlier the Falcon BMS plugin author @value1 stated that "Additional values for instruments are feasible, yet not implemented".

    I am sure I and other members would like to know about the construction of your sim pit and particularly the switch panels. Care to share the details?

    @sunny_hk

    There are already many resources for Bms 4.33 out there. I use screen extractors for my pit such as Lightnings MFD extractor (which can do any gauge as well).

    A great resource for anything Falcon 4 simpit related is Viperpits.org. Huge amount of info there, the Falcon cockpit building community is massive.

    @sunny_hk from the Warthog controller thread I see that you already have a Viperpit so must know about Viperpits.org. If you have not found anything there then another possible alternative is checking out Symprojects.com and asking the creator for support for BMS. If you can convince him of the possible customer base (which is great) then he might write a plugin for his hardware. I have several of his products that they are very good for the price. Much cheaper than you probably spent on your ICP :) (I make plug and play ICP modules for fellow Falcon pilots).

    Sorry for the many posts but I have been doing a little more research on this today.

    There are dozens of Arduino projects for BMS gauges out there. Here is one posted on Youtube last month that looks really good:

    Here is the info about the project on Viperpits.org:
