Flight Panels has released a set of new tools for Microsoft Flight Simulator, providing Stream Deck users with streamlined profiles to enhance their control of two highly popular aircraft: the FlyByWire Airbus A380X and the iFly Boeing 737 MAX 8. These products are designed for Stream Deck XL, Stream Deck Plus, and Stream Deck Mobile, allowing you to leverage physical controls for an immersive and intuitive flight experience.
The iFly 737 Max 8 Stream Deck XL Autopilot Panel is a customizable profile that enables you to manage autopilot and EFIS systems directly from the buttons on your Stream Deck XL. Priced at $19.00 USD excl. VAT this product provides a range of control options for users of the iFly 737 MAX 8. As the current version of the iFly 737 MAX 8 is still in pre-release, some features are marked as "INOP" until future updates are available. Once purchased, the profile’s installation is streamlined via an installer that configures all software needed.
For the FlyByWire A380X, Flight Panels has introduced three specialized profiles. The FlyByWire A380X Stream Deck Plus Autopilot Panel ($19.00 USD, excl. VAT) offers a comprehensive autopilot control interface that takes full advantage of the Stream Deck Plus’s touchscreen and rotary dials. The profile provides controls for major autopilot functions such as Flight Director, Autopilot (AP1/AP2), Localizer, Auto Throttle, and other key navigation and lighting options. You can adjust real-time values for heading, altitude, and vertical speed, and toggle settings like MACH/SPD, True/Mag, and vertical speed level-off, making for a highly detailed and hands-on experience. While some COM frequency functions are currently disabled due to a bug, Flight Panels plans to release updates as features become available.
A second profile, the FlyByWire A380X Stream Deck XL Autopilot Panel (also $19.00 USD excl. VAT), offers a similar autopilot and EFIS system control interface for users with the Stream Deck XL. This version provides robust functionality for managing autopilot systems through a button-based layout and is also compatible with Stream Deck Mobile for both iOS and Android.
Complementing these autopilot panels, the AeroLens Pro - FlyByWire A380X - Stream Deck Profile ($19.00 USD excl. VAT) enhances the camera management experience. AeroLens Pro is designed to facilitate smooth camera transitions, helping you to easily access cockpit, instrumentation, showcase, and custom views. With built-in drone control and time-of-day adjustment, this profile adds a new dimension to visual customization, offering you a total of 21 enhanced views, multiple camera controls, and the ability to manipulate camera zoom and save/load custom views.
