[@rolandgardiner3059]

Thanks again Mark for an extremely detailed review. This product does look impressive, however too expensive and a somewhat complicated in its use. Do appreciate the time you put in to keeping us informed with new products. Thanks!

[@MichaelLawler]

I was lucky enough to get one for Christmas last year, after seeing this video and asking Santa nicely 😅 ... A year later and it's still my favorite Flight Sim hardware or software addon by far. Love it! Thanks again for this great review!!

What are your views on the Loupedeck Live? Something your interested in? Let me know by dropping a comment below. Thanks for watching!

[@Stefan_fliegt]

Brilliant video. Just bought the Loupedeck. Thanks so much. Greetings from Germany.

[@Radulph_Gunn]

Thanks for the video Mark, very interesting and it looks great, but at over £300 with VR support I think I'll stick with Voice Attack.

[@aziiz78]

There's also a cheaper version of this device called Live S: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4GvkpuLo8mqga8&ab_channel=Loupedeck

Dear Mark, your video’s and tutorials are the best. They give me inspiration over and over again (and have cost me money also😅) Thanks!

[@stevebishop5160]

Thanks for doing this. Our Twitch-streaming Daughter went off to college and I (perhaps temporarily) inherited the LoupeDeck Live that I got her for Christmas last year. Great little bit of kit. Found the MSFS profile and have enjoyed it. Immediately thought ‘why aren’t more people talking about this use-case?’ Planning on a alpha/beta/touchscreen setup but in meantime this has been very helpful. The one main thing that I’m missing is being able to use the rotaries to control knobs (inner/outer) on the G1000. Thanks again. Well done.

[@paulkirkland3263]

Loupedeck ordered today. I have a feeling this video will get a lot of watches.

[@sheeen02]

Thanks Mark, you must have put a lot of time in to prepare this excellent review. An interesting device but expensive especially in the current climate. When my Saitek switches and panels give up I may look at Loupdeck but for the present, thanks to SpadNext I can't see a need.

[@googleisshittoss]

I have to agree..once my saiteks give up the ghost, i'd probably go the same way

[@Tom__L]

I prefer the Stream Deck via SPAD.next. No extra key bindings and stuff. And you can display real simconnect data.

[@SimHangerFS]

Fair comment, this unit works with SpadNext too.

[@ElAnciano92071]

Thanks for the video. I was unaware of this product. I like the physical knobs, but you didn't mention using the buttons as analogue gauges. In my 24 button Streamdeck I have a gauge 4 buttons tall for AGL and another 4 for VS. Both handy for landings where the software is grading you. EG: Neofly. I know the dash has a VS gauge, but most don't have AGL. The VS gauge is EZer to see while you are watching the runway. Which button is active gives you a coarse idea of you VS, or proximity to the ground (AGL). I am giving each of your knobs credit for two buttons, as we are using two buttons for heading and 2 more for VOR1 course, 2 for altitude and more. I am sure I can find uses for all 6 knobs! As I already have the Streamdeck, (recommended to me by Arashona who also gave me most of my settings), this would be an add-on to that, and I _might_ just get it for the knobs. Our Bravos have one knob shared by 5 or 6 things to set. I use it for VS mostly. Atltitude is on the Streamdeck. We weren't able to find a way to set the G1000's map range though. I haven't searched lately, so maybe they have added that, or perhaps it was there already under an obscure name. Twiddling the on-sceen know while in the flying view is a real pain, as you mouse doesn't jounce in sync with the plane jouncing. (all is good when you select the zoomed in dash view). Arashona also gave me dual gauges for fuel, Aileron/rudder trim et al. And single gauges for other stuff like elevator trim. Also, most of my button settings too. I just added the stacks of four to what he gave me. I also recently added AOA 0 - 2 degrees and AOA 0 - 6 degrees. I think I may have found the AGL on my own... after he trained me. ;)

[@nouse3771]

i am a guitarist and loopdecks are used for navigating our recording studio interfaces and i had this epiphany in the shower that this would be perfect for flight simulations / raced to google to see if i was the first with this idea / lol i love the internet

[@AdminVortex762]

Thanks for this video - this looks great. Pricey for me though. Maybe one day. :)

[@nickray4529]

It’s good to see that Loupedeck seem to be looking at the flight sim world. With their knowledge they should look at creating an FS specific bit of hardware to fill the gap in the market for relatively inexpensive G1000 control and AP control in other aircraft. I.e. a mix of buttons and dual rotary encoders with displays for selected ALT etc…

[@andrewk2857]

I make use of the MIDI output and SPAD.next to control the G1000 knobs, buttons etc.

[@rayerdinc2441]

[@rbaker73]

Touch Portal is much cheaper, only £12 in app purchase. Really useful piece of kit for us Simmers and you can program ANYTHING

[@Abner055]

In your video you mention Icon City MSFS Icons Package and you showed a few free icons available from the LoupDeck Marketplace. I decide to purchase the full package that include 477 icons. The icons are great, but they do not include an install package and cannot be used until manually installed via a long tedious process. In order to use them one must manually create 24 files and customize each for each of the 24 different directories which the icons come in based on their usage. It's a very tedious and time consuming process to manually install them. So, I do not recommend this product for the the LoupeDeck until they create an install script/bat file. I reached out to Icon City but they weren’t helpful at creating an install package. The only thing they did was add a comment that Additional Work would be required for it to work on LoupeDeck. Hopefully in an upcoming review you can mention this problem.

[@SimHangerFS]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@attiliodariva5417]

The Behringer X-TOUCH MINI has two more rotary switches and costs less then 1/4.... Maybe it's worth to make a video about it....

[@billB101]

I use the X-TOUCH MINI with streamdeck, perfect combo.

[@andrewk2857]

The Loupedeck has six physical rotaries at a time - you could have different modes that switch those six to control something else, they are not fixed.

[@Breenild]

Thank you very much for this brief introduction! Is there any source, where I can download compete profiles for example for the Fenix A320 or PMDG 737 so that I don't need to invent the wheel again 😂

[@SkyKing-Opa]

I guess you couldn’t use this in VR very good or just use VoiceAttack in VR.

[@SimHangerFS]

You can, advanced features include sound and voice so it can tell you what key/action you pressed!

[@Dg-zj6jo]

hope your all good sir

[@Richard_McDonald_Woods]

I am confused 🤨. After all of the efforts by the aircraft developers to make the simming 'as real as it gets', Loupedeck appears to be trying to duplicate the cockpit functions unnecessarily and not in a cockpit-real style. What am I missing ❓

[@Foxtrot_EW]

This is designed by a company for other things in mind... he's just simply saying that you can map it out and use it as a peripheral, but that's not what the company designed it for.

[@hobanagerik]

If they were all dual rotaries it would be damn near perfect.

[@andrewwilliams9419]

whats a dual rortary?

[@ShorebasePaul]

Can the standard software enable the rotary encoders to be programmed with the keypress duration ? Thanks again Mark for another of your very detailed reviews, so much more useful than the all too common youtube 'unboxing' presentations !!

[@SimHangerFS]

Not by default, but with SpadNext this can be done.

[@ShorebasePaul]

Thanks Mark, thanks for replying so promptly.I'll buy one and see how I go.

[@Videokad]

Thank you for the great content and detailed explanation, probably the best FS VR chanel on youtube. Do you use loopedeck live in VR. I am hesitating between the loupedeck and the streamdeck+ but I want to use it in VR as once trying FS in VR its very difficult to comeback to flat sreens. Have a nice day

[@SimHangerFS]

I have used it in VR, the buttons are a bit problematic however….keep using the wrong ones, and quite sensitive, great for 2D, cautious on value in VR, limited options unless you program it to use voice.

[@Videokad]

@@SimHangerFS I had a try of stream deck plus, its ok to use in VR buttons are fairly big the only problem is that FS handle badly the behaviour of the nobs, this can be corrected by SPAD but i heard that we need the cmplete version which is a bit expensive 😏

Hmm. There must be a way to replicate the functionality of this device on an iPad (which I'm currently using as a second screen). Any ideas?

[@santiagoluib3]

Mark, have you taken a look at Elgato Stream Deck Plus? That is cheaper than LoupeDeck ans I was wondering if you have tried that one too.

[@richardswede]

Mark, another cracking Video and my bank manger is starting to love you, as i keep buying the stuff you feature LOL! Mark do you know or does anyone know if anyone got this device to work with the FBW (Or Fenix) A320? (Or will settle for the PMDG 737) or can point me in the right direction to download a Loupedeck profile for that aircraft in MSFS2020? As you can imagine I am mainly a Airline simmer in MSFS 2020, got it working for GS, but would dearly love to have a profile for the A320 (Or 737). Thanks again Mark, and hoping your next Flight Simmer 'MUST HAVE Gadget' is a few months away to allow me to save up LOL!

[@SimHangerFS]

I am not aware of anyone having done one yet.

[@18hourgaming66]

For now I experimented with SPAD neXt and configured the Loopdeck Live as a MIDI device for SPAD neXt. I was able to configure the FCU of the FBW A320neo on the Loopdeck Live as that was what I needed most. I bet you can configure the whole Airbus Cockpit into the Loopdeck Live.

If you could contact me I would be very willing to work with you to get something going. It would be Unique as Mark said above, there is nothing out there at the moment.

[@18hourgaming66]

@@richardswede It is mostly configuring SPAD neXt after you configure the Loupedeck buttons and dials as MIDI divice buttons and dials (see the last part of this video for configuring Loopdeck as MIDI device). Its kind of easy once you get the hang of it. I'll try to make a video.

[@deesto]

@SimHanger Flight Simulation Mark, thank you for this video. How do you install the full purchase pack from Icon City? There isn’t a pack to install from when you purchase this. So do you have to browse each icon separately? Lastly, would you recommend the CT or the Live deck from Loupedeck for simming? I think I prefer the extra functionality of CT, but debating whether this may not actually add any functionality to FS?

[@SimHangerFS]

Hi, the full pack doesn’t install. However you can just browse and select icon. I have never used the CT so am reluctant to say one way or the other, however I feel it is more orientated towards video editing.

[@deesto]

@@SimHangerFS I really appreciate you taking the time to reply on this! Thank you so so much!!

[@frankhsu7465]

Does it provide visual feedback to reflect actual cockpit status? For example, external power availability in airliner?

[@SimHangerFS]

Not as default. Using something like SpadNext etc you can configure it as desired.

[@Photosbykev1]

I fly with multiple monitors and sadly using a device to duplicate keypresses just doesn't work unless the Flight sim monitor is in 'focus' . If someone develops the bridge so the loupedeck use SimConnect then it might be a useful device, until then it would be very annoying very quickly. SPAD.next and the LoupeDeck Live would be the way to go.

[@wizzardrincewind9458]

Thank you

[@bigd2564]

I am trying to make the loupedeck work with DCS. How did you rename the keyboard ?

[@XCougar85X]

Thanks for the nice video. Looks like a great product but a bit on the pricey side.

[@MrYoavRomem]

Dear Mark, thanks for a great review. love your channel! I was wondering if you can actually feel the physical gaps between the squares on the screen. (looking at the beginning of the video when the screen is off it seems that those gap exist, but it is not that clear). as a VR user would love to know... Thanks

[@einfussganger]

Yes (there's a physical plastic grid that could assist in feeling your way to the proper button) HOWEVER, the "buttons" are actually super sensitive touch screen locations and as soon as you fumble your fingers across them (counting to get to the right one), you'll activate each along the way. In this sense, it's huge fail for VR.

[@Dreamsofwings]

I went out and bought one of these having seen your video. It is a great piece of kit! For some reason I cannot get any of my keyboard shortcuts to work. Have you seen this before? I have added the keyboard shortcut in the default MSFS profile, replacing buttons like Pitot Heat where I am happy to use the switch in the cockpit, but they have no effect in the sim.

[@SimHangerFS]

Sounds like the profile is not the active one ?

[@Dreamsofwings]

@@SimHangerFS ah sorry, should have posted again. Yes it was active and the presets worked, just not the keyboard shortcuts, however I reinstalled the software and the sim recognised the keyboard shortcuts. Odd....but it fixed it lol

[@jhallock]

Can anyone comment on the Razer branded Stream Controller? Just discovered it at Best Buy. I think the Razer might not have the software support/capabilities that the Loupedeck has?

[@volaticusfilms6185]

I attempted to do the same with Stream Decks. In some respects the Loupedeck looks like a better fit, mainly because of feedback of information and of course the rotary. Simulating rotaries with buttons is a terrible idea, but what do you do on a Streamdeck? I'm curious as to how profiles work on the Loupedeck, as I use these instead of folders on the SD to avoid page hierarchies. Very helpful demo - I'll look into acquiring one. Thank you

[@SimHangerFS]

The new stream deck now has rotaries !

[@volaticusfilms6185]

Thanks - yes must've realised they were missing a trick I suppose. I just ordered a Loupedeck with 6 rotaries. I don't much care for the appearance of the Elgato version.

[@dotnetdevni]

Curious what u did as ur day job must had a good pension am a software developer on a good sallary thankfully

[@Corsair8X]

I’ll wait for a version 2 because I think they missed a key opportunity: had they used dual rotary encoders instead of single encoders there would be a lot more hardware you could emulate. For both VR and non-VR users dials are frustrating to use with the mouse. That is even more so for dual encoders such as found on GPS units. This could have resolved much of that. Maybe they’ll consider that in an updated/expanded version.

[@SimHangerFS]

You can emulate dual rotary, using the button on the dial to change etc.

[@dineshreddy7425]

Looks awesome ,,, Does this work with X-Plane 12 ?

[@SimHangerFS]

Yes you could but only via SpadNext.

Jesus. Calm down. Just don't watch the video if you don't like it. It's a pretty benign video to get that angry about. Take a breath.

Great review and tutorial Mark! I'm a Streamdeck owner and this was still an instant purchase for me, thanks to those rotary dials! Arrives tomorrow :). Hey could I trouble you for a couple of things? Would you mind sharing your KAP140 profile? And can you tell me more about this Streamdeck bridge for MSFS?? Cheers!
