Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am an avid flight sim builder...I have several sim "pits" some simple and some very high fidelity.
Probably one of the hardest things to integrate is the functionality of the Multi Function Display.
These were only available in Europe for a long time. The average price I paid from simw was about
$130.00 USD, you can get 2 sets and then some here now.
They come 2 MFD's per box/set, are heavy weighted, and have a good kinesthetic feel when actuating the buttons.
Plug and Play compatible with all modern operating systems. The brightness of the backlighting on the buttons and controls is user selectable based on how dark the room is/personal preference. CD drivers were included or you can download at parent site.
Sturdy construction and tons of configuration options for tyour desk or whatever angles your situation presents.
Well thought out design. Integrates flawlessly with Microsft FSX and X-Plane9.
Very Durable, I have 5 sets of these in use in my store and the customers can get real "touchy feely" with the gear.
I haven't had any problems yet, the first pair has several hundred hours of use.
Don't feel constrained by the F-16 label...they simulate any modern fighter MFD quite well.
Very low cost is the strongest selling point.
If a fully functional HUD is the Holy Grail, these certainly are the Excalibers of flight simulation.
The cardboard and plastic screen inserts they provide are good so you can do just about any level of realism you choose.
I spray painted one set of the plastic inserts gloss black and when inserted backwards can fool active duty military pilots
with their realistic appearance.
I have dual Doublesight 7" monitors behind 1 set and Falcon MFD extracts perfectly to them...I would probably go with 8"
monitors next time to lose a very small gap.
Bottom line is these are dirt cheap, work seamlessly right out of the box, and integrate easily with FSX and X-Plane.
My strongest personal recommendation for value and function.
