This is my exact sentiment. I don't want to give FlightSimBuilder any bad ideas but what also made me make the purchase is that they don't nickel and dime you on cables. The other company that will remain nameless does this and their product is just too expensive. FlightSimBuilder's price point is spot on. As student pilots we are all on a budget. I think that these guys understand this.

This might leap frog all of the button boxes and software trying to add rotary switches for the G1000 and G3000 ... oh My ! How is this added to the PC does it require Video connection ? I seem to have heard USB and VIDEO connection ... thanks !

Can't wait to get one and start mapping it out with SPADNext for my VR setup. I'll use a modifier button on my joystick to switch between PFD and MFD mode (until I get the 2nd one that is). Is it possible btw to replace the rotary knobs? From what i've seen so far, they don't look that great so maybe you can switch them.

I use my G1000 panels (from another company who's name I won't mention here - hehehe) for all aircraft that have some sort of glass cockpit (G1000s, G300s, airliners with glass). Absolutely love it. Thanks to SPAD, I even use one panel's buttons/encoders for EFIS functions.

I’ve used 2 of these (PFD/MFD) for a few months. Highly recommend that you use with Mobiflight to extend to autopilot and avionics units other than G1000. I personally don’t think the price is worth it if you don’t.

Totally see your point and competition is always good for the market. I certainly didn't mean to imply Real Sim Gear or anyone else isn't worth it. I got to try their stuff for a bit at the Expo and it's also fantastic! I do believe for the quality of build FlightSimBuilder is definitely more within reach lol

I've had my FSB G1000 (MFP) since its launch. In XPlane 11 and 12, works flawlessly when programmed in-game. I *WISH* MSFS had the same programming capabilities. In MSFS, to INCR/DECR BARO, no bueno. Not to mention, in MSFS, my BARO has been stuck at 29.92 for a few months confirmed by weather (in-game).
