Flight Illusion is proud to announce the release of the GSA-DME. This octagonal display is based on the Bendix and Collins versions of a DME distance indicator. You can find this gauge typically in King air or other business jets. The selector can be set on NAV1 or NAV 2 and shows respectively the distance (in nautical miles) to the chosen NAV station, the speed (in knots) and the estimated time to arrival (in minutes)
The display can be mounted through a panel and connects through the GSA-55 interface with FS. The GSA-DME works with FS2004, FSX and X-plane

Marcel Felde is one of our most enthusiastic customers. He owns a full Dornier 27 shell and has customized most of the gauges to fit the panel. He used both standard Flight illusion gauges or generic gauges which he modified to suit his needs.
Take a look at his conntribution as he explains how he proceeded to modify the existing gauges from his panel to have perfectly working gauges that could connect to Flight Simulator.

As quality, price/performance and intensity of white LEDs has seriously improved over the last period, Flight Illusion will shift from the standard Yellow backlight of its gauges to White.
Many plates have colored sections which look much better when lighted with white light. Apart from that the backlight color in real aircrafts is mainly White as in general light bulbs are used.

For those customers that want to have yellow backlight on new orders ( because of compatibility with already purchased gauges) this will remain possible for a period of time. But by default the backlight color will switch to white from 1st of May on .

Customers can now download version (6.0.5) of the software allowing to drive the gauges with information from Flight Simulator.
This version offers new functionalities.

• new analogue altimeter can be used
• new cessna engine cluster can be used
• New cessna digital clock can be used
• Many small changes that further improve performance

• Solves the VOR2 deflection bug

If you are upgrading from 5.3.1 to 6.0.5 it is mandatory to install the new configuration file as well. This means that all existing gauges and I/O module functions will have to be re-assigned, but the overall performance will be much better.

We have only uploaded the new executable and config files. First time users must install the full package (version 6.0.3) and then unzip the latetst version and overwrite the default file.

Flight Illusion has added the analogue altimeter to its range. You can now order the GSA21 from a modified product page called "Altimeters and VSI". This new menu item holds the analogue and digital altimeters as well as all the vertical speed indicators.
The analogue altimeter as 4 stepper motors driving the hands and pressure plate.

Flight Illusion is proud to add the Cessna style RPM gauge to its range. The GSA-45 completes the Cessna cockpit setup. With this latest addition, all the gauges in a Cessna 172 plane can be replicated to form a full cockpit setup.
The GSA-45 is the standard RPM gauge as found it the Cessna 172 and has a range from 0 RPM to 3000+ RPM.

Our software runs in fact through a serial port which is virtually created by a USB port. To do this, you need to install a VCP driver from the chip manufacturer. Virtual COM port (VCP) drivers cause the USB device to appear as an additional COM port available to the PC. Our application software accesses the USB device in the same way as it would access a standard COM port.

Vista users had some problems with the existing drivers. Hence we advice to check on the page link below to download the appropriate driver according to your PC operating system.

The Beta version for X-Plane9 has now maturered into an official version release. We are now proud to announce the release of version 3.0 for X-plane 9. This version is fully functional.
Most of the Gauges, Radio’s, etc. are implemented now. Also the X-Plane data-ins and data-outs are seriously extended.

Apart from driving the gauges, the program includes tools for adding, modifying and or testing the various X-Plane parameters.
This program also includes the function to create own (special) gauge plates.

The GSA-CEC is a Cessna type engine cluster based on the C172. The four gauges, each of them with 2 pointers, are on 1 circuit board. The gauges are positioned 2 X 2 in the same way the real gauges are on a real panel.
There are two version available. (Standard for GSA55 and USB without interface)

The gauges have following values indicated:
• Fuel quantity Left / Right
• EGT / CHR
• Oil temperature / Oil pressure
• Suction gauge / AMP meter

The new GSA71 brings us one step closer to the completion of a full Cessna panel. Together with the analogue altimeter and the Cessna engine cluster (8 gauges on 1 print), the digital clock constitutes the final modules for a complete GA panel setup.
The GSA71 is modelled aftre the Davtron Digital clock and has the same functionalities.
The text on the bezel as well as the LCD screen are backlit.
