Another option is the RMI uEncoder. The VSI sensitivity, damping, and
display range are programmable to suit. Can tweak thus for IFR also,
but the VSI display is tiny. Ditto for EFIS panels in MS Flight
Simulator, without being able to adjust sensitivity, if one wants to see
what it's like "on the gauges."
