Thrustmaster MFD Bezels, How Usefull ?

Featured Replies

I have seen the "Thrustmaster MFD Cougar Pack", and keep wondering if they are big enough to simulate a pair of Garmin?

 

They are a pair of square bezels with five buttons on each side and a rocker switch in each corner making for twenty buttons and four switches per bezel.  Sounds good so far, but, they are only 5.5in x 5.5in (141mm) square on the outside and only 4.25 x 4.25in (108mm) square on the inside.

 

I do not see how they can be big enough to simulate a Garmin.
What do you guys use them for?
(and are any windows-pop-ups or android-apps already published?)

 

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I already did a search and found very little buzz about them.

I have a set of these but don't use them. They are just a load of press buttons which I don't need for FSX then you need to manufacture a cardboard index with the button functions on it that is placed behind the plain glass screen. There are a few ready made backing cards supplied but that is all. Do not fall for the trap in thinking that there are useable screens in this equipment. You will also need to use TMs Target software to map the buttons to functions.

If they are only good for buttons, then I already have enough buttons,

and will save some money by not buying these. 

Thanks,
