VRInsight Multi Switch Panel

[Dbader]

First of all a HUGE thanks to Pete for arguably the most useful and influential piece of supporting software ever written for FSX!

 

I am just about to purchase the VRInsight multi switch panel. According to all I've read this works without drivers so I am hopeful that I can assign the various buttons and, especially, rotary knobs to the main aircraft that I fly. (PMDG 737/777, FSLabs Concorde X and A2A C172)

 

I have spent a good deal of time experimenting with these three aircraft and FSUIPC - Concorde being the most problematic but now resolved via rotor_brake commands - and have no issue with operating the crucial functions (heading/course selector/altitude select etc) using button combinations on my PC keyboard.

 

Before biting the bullet and purchasing the panel, I just wondered if anybody out there has had any experience or issues with this device? (As I said, it is a little different to the normal VRSinsight boxes as it does not rely on their serial connection but behaves instead "like a joystick" according to their website.)

 

The rotary controls are my prime concern as I have not yet been able to test these on my joystick but from reading the FSUIPC manuals this seems fairly straightforward to set up.
