Part falls off, Sergey doesn't miss a beat! Class!

It looks great!

Does it work with msfs 2020?

[@lvluisvieira]

Hi Sergey good afternoon, I wonder if it works well with FSX,thank you very much

[@flightsimpoint2200]

Luis Vieira Hi Luis, FSX, P3D and XP11 compatible. Email to simparts.order@ gmail.com and I will send you full information

Hi Sergey, at 4:40 you said this is suitable with FSX and P3D, but you didn't mention X-plane 11. Does that mean it isn't compatible with X-plane 11?

Im wondering this. The thrust levers and buttons will work but im not sure about the flaps steps and the speedbrake axis

[@JYCrazy1]

@@henrywallace3563 I can answer that now as I bought the throttles a year ago (I've moved on to a Virtual Fly TQ6+ now). The speedbrake axis doesn't really work well with X-Plane 11, it's not possible to reliably get the detents to work such as arm/flight detent etc, even with custom response curves. It's a running theme with X-Plane axes actually. I'd say the lever is only reliably good for flaps fully up or flaps fully down, so it effectively acts like a slightly more realistic button (i.e., on/off only). In general I'd say the quality of Sergey's throttle handles is absolutely amazing, the buttons are really high quality. My only complaint about them is that the reversers are just button activated and not on an axis, and they don't feel particularly realistic. In terms of the other parts of his solution, the speedbrake lever quadrant is noticeably lower quality and the axis is jumpy, the engine start switch module works, but it isn't smooth and you notice a metal-on-metal grinding in the mechanism. The flaps solution is amazing, but again X-Plane 11 has some issues with reliably hitting the right flaps setting even with custom response curves. Sorry for the long essay but I couldn't find any feedback like this when I was looking at it, so I hope it's useful. In general, I'd say it isn't worth the money for the full solution with the current design, I don't think I'd buy them again and I'd just wait for Honeycomb's upcoming throttle quadrant instead.

@@JYCrazy1 thank you very much, this was very helpful and as you said i'm just going to wait for the honeycomb one instead. Thanks!

Henry Wallace No worries! Glad it was helpful :)

Hello, I would like to build the flap guide, can you send us a template with quotes ? Olivier
