    I am using the X-plane 9.5 plugin with X-plane, which has the Gauge output Effect 80: True Air Speed. Can this output be used to drive a motor, like the simulator output forces?

    I would like to make my own yoke and use the air speed effect to simulate the amount of centering force on the yoke, so that when I'm not moving there is no centering force, and the faster I go, the more centering force I get. It could be done with some mechanical tricks if I can apply this output to an axis.

    If not I'll just have to use springs, but I think a varying centering force is the main thing that's missing in sim flight controls.
