I’m looking to purchase the FSC 737NG FMC and have a few questions: How is compatibility with PMDG 737 in MSFS 2024? How well does it work with LevelUp 737 with Zibomod in XP12? How well is the backlighting done on the keys and selector buttons? Quality of unit, is display clear and bright without too much backlight bleed (assume it’s not OLED)? How do the buttons feel, clear pressure or mushy and vague? How is support, their website looks pretty bad and their forum is barely there? Key reasons for looking at this unit are the following: Support Ethernet connectivity. Has it’s own display (doesn’t require HDMI from…

Hi all , Bit of an issue with my throttle specifically the Laxis Z The very end lever on the right as you look at it. I've checked the bravo throttle quadrant properties in the windows game controller settings for the Z axis and all works fine and I get full movement showing on that. But when i try to use this axis for either a condition lever 2 or the flaps up and down it only works to 50%. I've looked at the sensitivity curves and it only goes 50%of the way and no matter what I've tried adjusting nothing seems to work Has anyone come across something like this or know what the issue might be?

Where in Canada can this be bought, Airbus and/or Boeing? Is there anywhere a flightsim aircraft compatibility list to be found for these? Are those that bought happy with the products? Many thanks.

I am buying a used Precision Flight Controls throttle serial quad that does not have a power brick. Does anyone have a PFC 12v DC power brick they can give me the specs off of?

I'm having what seems to be some kind of initialization issues with SPAD in MSFS. When I first get in a plane, my Saitek switch panel does nothing the first time I flip a switch. Once I've toggled something - anything - all seems to be well. I also note that some functions don't fully work when I load with a profile until I go into SPAD, switch to another profile and then switch back to the proper one. This issue seems to crop up on all of my Blacksquare planes with whatever I use to control the parking brake. I'm probably missing something simple here, but I'm not sure what. TIA, Scott

Not only new in the forum but just looking to enter the hobby as a whole. At least when it comes to flight sticks. I was sold on history very early on includeing aviation related topics. I bought a Thrustmaster T. Flight Hotas X back in the days but it have like ~10 hours playtime in it max. 😄 I quickly realised that i can't aim with it in WT due to my massive skill issue and the strong centering of the stick, also the throttle "rudder" buttons just refused to work with MFS2020 and i couldn't bother with the joystick rudder. So i quickly went back to mouse and keyboard. Now looking to give it another try with some proper gear, tho cuz my condition... called "hu…

https://shop.brunner-simulation.ch/stay-tuned/ Any idea? I've been waiting for an affordable and reliable FFB yoke for years.

Working on a replica throttle for the DC3. Any interest here? It's a community project, with assistance from the RAF and will be self assembly from 3D print files, free to download. There's more info here if anyone is interested: https://download.authentikit.org/forum/index.php?thread/227-30-january-2026-weekly-dev-update-sabre-dc3-hurricane/

Hi all, Just a query/question regarding this product, before I pull the trigger and buy. This is aimed more at the UK as this is where I live. I'm wondering if anyone that has bought this product from the Wingflex site, how much it cost extra for the import charges, and roughly how long it took to arrive? The current price is $199 which with the current rate of exchange is about £ 140. I've not seen any bad reviews so this seem a good deal but just wanted to check on here first. Thanks

I updated the firmware on the Winctrl MCDU yesterday and now I'm not able to initialize a flight plan. It just says invalid uplink. The Data Base isn't showing a source either. I'm using the Fenix Airbus A321, Simbrief and Navigraph, just like I always do. I made all the required entries in the Fenix EFB, but still no luck. Is anyone else seeing this or is it just something on my end. Thanks.

Hey guys, I am very new when it comes to this sort of thing and really have no experience with software, but I am trying to create a radio panel for the Cessna citation X. It is a relatively simple display which shows COM1/COM2 active and standby etc. I have a custome arduino sketch that writes the GUI using stored variables. And preferably the same arduino running the tft has a few buttons and knobs to manipulate these variables. My only issue is that I am struggling to pull these values from the sim I tried MobiFlight which really doesn’t allow you to send stuff to a custom arduino sketch over serial and have come across this program. Before I buy this I was wonder…

This app can be used for mapping controls outside of games. "This release is a complete rewrite of the user interface and how the profile architecture.

Just a heads-up for Mobiflight users about the coming and planned features of this great software - I found yesterday's livestream quite interesting.

Hello everyone! Not sure if this is the correct forum sub-category for this regard but I am looking for a compact printer for FS24 to print ACARS messages etc. in airplanes like the Fenix A320 series. Has anyone had experience with a reasonably priced printer used for their simulator? Suggestions are mjuch appreciated! Cheers Niels

I have MCPEL, EFIS and FMC from CP flight, but nothing is working with the new PMDG 737800. Is it only my setup that is wrong, or is it a common problem? I have send a mail to CP flight some days ago, but no responce. Does the Winwing products work well with the FS2024 Boeing?

Hi pilots, I have just received the new Overhead for A320 from the well known company Wingflex. (No, not Winwing, Wingflex ! ☺️) It is really a great purchase and I am sincerely delighted. I didn't expect it to look so authentic, to feel like the real thing although smaller, and to be built with such care and precision. The shipment from China went surprisingly fast, as well as the installation, and 5 minutes after opening the box I was using this high quality product that works out of the box with the Fenix buses. A pure beauty. Of course, this panel is not usable with any aircraft other than the A320, but it integrates perfectly into the Winwing eco-system …

Are these folks still up and running? The website seems out of date. Just wondering if their products are still viable for purchase? Thans. John

I was looking to see what Avsim thought of this new product line coming out. Looks promising to me. The cost is supposed to be around $350 USD for the base units with $99 add-ons. I'm wondering if the throttle axis will be full range (as opposed to the bottom of the range being a button like we've seen in the past). A full range means you could have idle reverse, reverse prop, etc. Thoughts? https://meridiangmt.com/ Gregg

Is there anyone that can help with setting up this throttle in 2024? No matter what I do I can't get the sim to properly recognize the correct axis. Simpapp pro is up to date. I've never seen anything this difficult. Normally pretty easy to set up a throttle.

Hi Folks, I am intending to buy a headset with mic, and use it with FSHUD on MSFS2020. I have never before used a mic on PC. Can someone suggest a model, in the mid range price?. I would appreciate any advice on the subject. Thank you.

I recently bought an official Xbox Bluetooth controller from Argos to use for the drone in MSFS2024. After several attempts trying to pair it in Win 11, I found out my motherboard does not support Bluetooth, so I bought a Bluetooth dongle which Win 11 recognised straight away, but still the controller still cant connect with Win 11. I have watched and followed lots of YT vids on how to pair but without success. The thing I have noticed when I go into settings and "Bluetooth & devices" Bluetooth is enabled but it says "Discoverable as "JCC", but JCC is a previous user name from my last system, but I did just transferred the windows boot drive to this current system, bu…
