Yes! I need this, just like the G1000's, G540, ffb yoke and stick. I'll probably need the complete Boeing set too. Flying in VR with this is no problem indeed, 1 week and muscle memory kicks in.
I fly VR also, and have the WinWin FCU and the EFIS is on order. I have my units mounted to reflect where they would be so in VR what I see is what I touch..really does take it to another level not having to use a mouse
I'm getting the new Somnium VR when it releases. Like the Quest 3, it has high-res, full color pass through, and it includes the software for identifying and showing the areas where your hardware is. This makes your hardware and your hands visible while still in VR, and is what I have been waiting for, since I have lots of great harwdware. WinWing is putting out some fantastic stuff. I am an IRL Airbus pilot, and I approve this message!
interesting i would love if you did a video comparing different models of hardware so i can see them all side by side! Great video and making me want to expand my sim experience!
@@theVRpilot I am not sure I just started getting back into flight sim with the new MSFS2024 release so im starting to research panels. I see the saitek/logi panels and these. I know a few other companies have to exist out there as i have seen a 3D printed Tiller(Trying to find that STL) I Mean honestly anything on peripherals would be rad! I am looking at possibly building on my system now that there will be missions to do!
I can't wait to get this to go with the FCU. Really looking forward to the Boeing stuff in the future. These items are a HUGE game changer and really increases confidence when flying on Vatsim.
That is a great analogy! Comparing playing an instrument with muscle memory and using VR with this hardware. Even more so when the hardware really closely replicates where things actually are in the plane on VR.
Ive ordered the EFIS, but just waiting for email notification for payment and shipping. My custom home cockpit is based off of the a320, so ive been anxiously awaiting this
EasyJet sim pilot is not a real pilot, he often says so on his videos when asked. He is quite knowledgeable about EasyJet’s procedures and is worth listening to imo.
Hey! Maybe I wasn’t clear but yes, it works in other planes but you will have to likely manually bind it. But yes, the hardware will work fine with any plane. I used it in the PMDG B737 after binding it manually myself.
Gotcha. Thanks! That was what I was wondering. If it only worked with Airbus I don't know that I would purchase it. But if you can manually set it up to work with other aircraft then I could see the value in it.
Quest 3 and mixed reality (OpenKneeboard). Too easy. To ensure friends don't use my peripherals as handholds, I have fitted stainless handholds from a boat. They have made entering/exit from the sim way easier/safe, even for me.
I don’t know why initially it wasn’t there, but it arrived in the mail a week ago and I just opened the package today and found it! So you can change it out to show EXPED! But not sure why it was done this way from launch.

Yup! I’ll have more info on the B737 hardware soon! 😉

Nice! The key is having that consistency for muscle memory. It makes a huge difference after a few weeks / months.

💪🏼💪🏼🙏🏻🙏🏻 The Somnium VR1 is amazing! Best headset I’ve ever tried!

I’d love to do a comparison.
What other hardware is comparable to this? MiniFCU?

Awesome! Stay tuned! I’ll have news on the B737 hardware soon.

Yes! Exactly!
Just purchased from Amazon, should arrive in a week from now!
@@kennethd2643 Awesome! I excited for you!

That’s going to be great! I think you’re going to love it.
Great review man.
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
As an exclusive VR pilot I have the "almost" real thing in front of me :)
Thanks for the review, great video👍.
Thanks for sharing Jose! Does this ship from China or is there a distribution in the US? Thanks!
I will ask and let you know.
EasyJet sim pilot is not a real pilot, he often says so on his videos when asked. He is quite knowledgeable about EasyJet’s procedures and is worth listening to imo.
There you go! Lol thanks for the clarification.
Thanks for your great videos, have you ever tested the Octavi in VR?
Not yet! I’ll look it up!
Can you not use the FCU for other airplanes? Does heading, altitude, VS, not work in a Cessna or a 737? Only the airbus variants?
Hey! Maybe I wasn’t clear but yes, it works in other planes but you will have to likely manually bind it.
But yes, the hardware will work fine with any plane.

Love that idea! I need that lol
i am waiting for the 737 mcp . hopefully it comes out soon . If it's not Boeing, I am not going 🙂
Haha, yessir! I’ll advise as soon as I hear it.
Why is it missing the EXPED button missing?
I don’t know why initially it wasn’t there, but it arrived in the mail a week ago and I just opened the package today and found it!
So you can change it out to show EXPED!
But not sure why it was done this way from launch.
