Desktop Pilot Flight Simulator Panels Review

[@DocPicklez]

I wish the "Ignition Panel" had a "Stby Batt/Test/Off/Arm" switch. but other than that I love it.

[@joshuamarius]

Submit that feedback to them :-) They are making different versions of some of the products.

Great job on the video -- both controllers and lists!

[@joshuamarius]

@@roystoys3239 thank you for the comment ✌🏻

I'd love to know how the carb heat lever gets mapped to the carb heat in Flight Simulator 2020, please. Thanks.

[@joshuamarius]

Since they are plug and play, once plugged in and detected in the Simulator, you will see the Axis available for the Hardware. The problem is that this Axis in particular is not created natively in MSFS, so you will have to use an external application such as MobiFlight or even FSUIPC. Many people have asked this and MSFS still has not addressed it. 1) forums.flightsimulator.com/t/axis-for-carburetor-heat/402779/6 2) www.reddit.com/r/flightsim/comments/id1nnb/any_way_to_bind_carb_heat_to_an_button_or_axis_in/

2:15 who are the competitors if want higher/best quality?

[@joshuamarius]

As of today, the most realistic panels I have used come from Aviatek.

[@mustbescud]

What are some ways to install those boxes under a table? Adhesive and/or strong velcro?

[@Meza240]

Velocity One

[@skippychurch2965]

​@@Meza240.... which is what

[@solarvoodoo3168]

What yoke do you recommend?

[@joshuamarius]

Honeycomb Alpha

[@pgreenx]

Is desktop pilot the same as desktop aviator?

[@joshuamarius]

No, they are different companies. I own products from both 😁😏

[@pgreenx]

@@joshuamarius which is a higher quality and do you prefer one over the other and why? Thanks

[@joshuamarius]

They make different products. It depends on what you are trying to do.

[@allegrasmart5807]

Nice!

[@rickl6697]

You mentioned a bunch of platforms that can use these or might could be custom programmed to run on but no mention of Xbox. Disappointing, your's is the second review of these I've seen today and nobody mentions that. Too bad. Some are reasonable but some are e crazy expensive and mounts with Velcro(unless you remove it from it's case). Thanks for posting.

[@joshuamarius]

Two very important things you need to understand... 1) XBOX is not a standard or common platform when developing home cockpits or building your own flight simulator. 2) I posted on XBOX forums/subreddits to try and find a volunteer to test these as well as some interface cards to see if things could be developed/tested...and I was downvoted to oblivion.

[@richardsoane6192]

Nice till you add oseas postage

[@joshuamarius]

Heh! No problems here ✌🏻✌🏻

[@caskraker]

Insanely expensive. Get a Velocity One yoke and you have got most of these controls for free.

[@joshuamarius]

Except that's not even close to the same fidelity.
