Hi, does anybody know this product?

From the website it seems very nice but I cannot find any reviews on it!

Thanx ,

Hi Luca,

 

I don't own the prop cockpit trainer simply because I don't like the aspect of the radio modules. I've bought the pro pit panel which is basically the same thing as the prop cockpit trainer for the flight instruments.

The switches and the yoke look great but haven't tried them. The TPM (throttle, propoller and mixture) looks basic, I prefer the real touch of the Saitek TPM. Regarding the flight instruments, I guess it is the same as the pro pit panel. But you have to know that it basically uses the defaut instrument of flight simulator. This means that the instrument have low resolution which is even worse as they are expanded to fit the holes of the VR Insight panel. Their animation is not smooth either. It can use the carenado instruments if you have a carenado aircraft installed on your computer.

The solution for me was to buy the reality XP flight N & T to replace the defaut flight instruments of flight simulator. You will get ultra high resolution instruments and very smooth and accurate. But you need to know how to modify the panel.cfg file in order to set the correct size of the instruments at the correct place. It is time consuming so that the instruments are correctly placed to fit the holes of the panel. But once it is done, it is awesome to use.

 

My opinion is that this config is not an ideal price/quality. Finally, it is just a TFT monitor behind a shell with knobs on it. I think the price is really to high compared to what you actually get. For this price, I would rather go for simkit instruments whose prices have decreased a bit since they've been launched on the market.

For example, you can buy this module for the avionic: http://www.simw.com/...p-bkav-set.html

and combine simpit instruments with saitek cessna yoke and TPM. You will have almost the same price but a even higher quality!

 

Hope this helps,

Stéphane
