From Sym Project comes something very interesting for those of you building their own cockpits as their Rev Burner module now allows to use a rev meter from a real car with any popular simulation.
The Rev Burner is connected via USB, it supports all Simbin simulations, rFactor, Live for Speed, Richard Burns Rally and iRacing. The module sells for 32 British pounds, more info can be found on the Sym Project website.
Below is a demonstration video, showing a real rev meter used with the Rev Burner in Richard Burns Rally.
