The desktop dashboard gauge system is a easy startup solution without the need of gauge hardware. It will be used with computers dual screen graphic cards and a additional 15” cheap VGA display or another small display connected. The display will be mounted behind a steering wheel of an racing frame or as dashboard for a flight simulator. This enhanced area will be used for any ingame gauge instruments so the game can run in full screen mode without the cockpit view. Additionally you can use external number or dot matrix displays as a instrument extension. These small LCD displays are often connected with a printer or serial port and could be cheap organized. Additional to the normal speed gauges and RPM displays you can show the current round number and position in the game.
The desktop gauges are skinned gauges which can be easy modified to your own car setup. The are free changeable to any usage.

You should start with the step by step tutorial of the analogue pointer gauge which shows you the possible solutions to change the skin with the editor mode of the plugins.
