Finally stopped messing with my rig long enough to post a video with the gauges set up.

The gauges are mounted up in my Vertex 3 and my dash project is finished!! 
...or at least as finished as any never ending project is 

I'll post a vid in a few days.

Both motion (SimCraft's Craftcon software) and SimDash work great together with iRacing.  Different story with NR2003.  As suspected fuel level does not appear to be an exported telemetry data set. Oh well. 

The bigger issue is that with Craftcon running, SimDash doesn't seem to engage even though it appears to see NR2003 is running when Craftcon invokes it.    I took a scan through the forum, but none of the "motion" oriented threads seemed to be relevant.

Any ideas?

Initial tests with NR2003 and iRacing demonstrated that these gauges work!   
(Doesn't look like fuel % works in NR2003 though. Have not dug in to that yet. Telemetry may not even be available.)
Here are a few pics of the test rig.  Basically just a workbench prototype.

Using a bread board for testing made the task much easier and will simplify the overall dashboard design work until it come time to actually mount and solder everything together.

For what it is worth, I'm running the no CD patch and with the executable name set to NR2003.exe it works.

Thanks!
The specific 2-1/16" gauges I'm looking at are Marshall SCXs plus a 5" Comp II Tach.
http://www.marshallinstruments.com/catalog/scx_white.cfm

Question from the manufacturer
"If all the 2-1/16" gauges have a 240-33 ohm range will that work for you?
 i.e. 240ohm = 0% scale, 33 ohm = 100% scale.  Scale is linear."

He says they can also provide  0-30ohm, 73-10ohm, 20-150ohm, and 0-118ohm ranges

Any insight greatly appreciated!!

Hi, Confused Newbie here.

I understand the gauges on the website are the only ones guaranteed to work with the Pro-Gauge, but if I plan on going rogue I should be looking at stepper motor gauges exclusively correct?

Thanks!
