Flight illusion

Advantages...

Best 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 gauges in 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 proces 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 the 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 gaug

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.
