Okay so my birthday is the first week of April so im starting a small list .

I asked for the Saitek Pro Flight Switch Panel but didn't get it because it was on back order.
So I was going to ask it for my birthday when I suddenly found this while looking for payware planes...

Its the M panel and it seems to seek my interest all in one panel for a cheap price of only $140! I mean not really cheap but for everything it looks to be done I think this should be all ill need it wont have the start engines and light switched like saitek but it has autopilot, nav, and flap/gear which seems to be what I use most in the flights.

Although the real question is, will it work like it shows or will it be crap? The videos are convincing me. 8-)

For this to be $140 and saiteks to be $100 im getting what I want and even more for $40 instead of paying some other autopilot panel that is $500

Also will this M panel work for all my airplanes.

I have been hearing good things about the VRInsight stuff.  Never used it myself though.

I think from looking at them both that you'll find the Saitek stuff more "game controller" feeling...and the VRInsight more "electronic equipment" feeling.

As to what works with which plane... that is a crap shoot.  Many add-on aircraft create their own systems "outside" the normal MS provided simulation engine..... because it is so limited..... and when they do that there is no guarantee that they will workwith anything other than theor own defauly mouse clicks or fey presses.  You have to contact the manufacturer and see if their unit works with the XXXXXX aircraft.

You are taking the first steps heading down a long, dark, expensive, addictive road, my friend.  

best,
