This week’s review is for the Saitek Pro Flight Switch Panel. A great addition for FSX General Aviation aircraft.

REVIEW: REX4 | Texture Direct
This week’s Review is about REX4 | Texture Direct, a texture library add-on for FSX. Next up will be some more Saitek hardware.
REVIEW: CPFlight EFIS 737 Pro
Since I took all the photos of the CPFlight EFIS and MCP together, it was short work to get the EFIS review done quickly. So here we go!
Plans for the future
Above is my current desktop setup as of Aug 15, 2014. In this photo, I am preparing to taxi out for takeoff from Albany International (KALB). I apologize for the blurriness, but you get the idea.
It is a big step to get the CPflight MCP and EFIS as they are my building blocks to start plans for the Main Instrument Panel (MIP), stand, and pedestal. If the avionics software is the brain of a 737 cockpit, these must be the heart.
The next big piece to order is the MIP itself. I am looking at the FDS or FlyEngravity products. My plan is to attempt to visit FDS up in Canada in the next month or so to put my hands on their products before spending thousands of dollars on such an important piece.
In the meantime, I will be adding new posts about once a week. I have many additional reviews to post of products I already have, such as:
FS2Crew PMDG 737 NGX
FSDreamTeam GSX
Aivlasoft EFB
Virtual Avionics Virtual CDU
and more…
REVIEW: CPFlight MCP 737 Pro
I was really looking forward to this particular review. The CPFlight MCP 737 Pro was my first piece of actual 737 cockpit replica hardware and marks the point where I am moving away from my desk and towards a real full-size simulator.
REVIEW: ORBX FTX Global Base
The people over at ORBX have put together the FTX Global package for updating your FSX base scenery across the entire globe. As one of my earliest add-ons, it needed a review of its own!
A Bit More
Hello! I have been busy behind the scenes working on content. I have already completed and posted five reviews and have more coming very soon. I created additional sections, disclaimers, and privacy statements. Lastly, I updated the Primary PC and Visuals sections and wrote a quick history about myself and the site’s creation on the About page.
Next up will be the review of my CPFlight MCP 737 Pro. I just want to take some additional photos before I post it.
REVIEW: Saitek Pro Flight Radio Panel
Another review in the rearview! I am alternating between hardware and software reviews to get as much covered as quickly as I can.
REVIEW: PMDG 737-800/900 NGX
This, my friends, is why I am so deep in flying now. It is single-handedly the largest catalyst behind my Private Pilot’s License progress as well as building this cockpit. For flying the big iron, there is nothing like it.
REVIEW: Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals
This one joins the Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System as I bought them together, but are reviewed separately. A simple, but greatly immersive product!
