New Things Brewing At FSXTimes

Regular readers know I am a loyal and happy customer of Tom Tsui and the custom gauges he makes for Saitek FIPs. His store now offers over 170 FIP gauges that cover nearly 30 aircraft, including planes for FSX, P3D, and X-Plane, as well as RealAir and the always finicky A2A.

Tom charges about $10 a gauge, and less for package purchases, and I think they are excellent and worth every penny. And things keep getting better. Tom has recently updated the store and installation guide, and perhaps most exciting, he’s now working on a PFD. This is a pic of the beta, and it already looks fantastic. I’ll be getting this one for sure.

    Have you spoken to him about updates to the 172 gauges recently? My engine gauges still aren’t accurate and neither are the times. Love his stuff.

      I’ve not. I find him very responsive. Send him a note.

      I have. The problem is on the SPAD side. The developer has it on his roadmap to fix those translations in a forthcoming release.

    I fully agree! Tom’s FIP gauges are beautiful, functional, easy to read, and at $10 to $20 each (depending on complexity) a real bargain. I use his Mooney Bravo set, which he made at my request, constantly. I also have, and occasionally use, his Beech Baron set. I run 11 FIPs in my mostly Saitek cockpit. Highly recommended.
