Flight Panels Releases Pilatus PC-12 Stream Deck Autopilot Panel

💠 Flight Panels has released a dedicated Stream Deck Plus autopilot and systems panel for the Pilatus PC-12, designed specifically for use with the Microsoft and Carenado PC-12 NGX in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. The add-on aims to bridge the gap between on-screen cockpit interaction and physical hardware by turning the Stream Deck Plus into a context-aware control panel tailored to the PC-12’s avionics and systems.

The Pilatus PC-12 occupies a distinctive place in Microsoft Flight Simulator as a high-performance single-engine turboprop that combines business aviation workflows with regional and utility flying. Its advanced autopilot and navigation systems are central to the experience, especially during IFR operations. Flight Panels’ approach focuses on replicating those systems through tactile inputs, which can reduce reliance on mouse interaction and improve workflow consistency during critical phases of flight.

At the core of the product are multiple functional panels mapped to the Stream Deck Plus’ buttons, rotary dials, and LCD touchscreen. The primary Flight Control Panel configuration provides direct access to standard autopilot modes such as Flight Director, Autopilot, Altitude Hold, Flight Level Change, Vertical Speed, Heading, Approach, and Auto Throttle. The rotary encoders display live values for speed, heading, altitude, and vertical speed, allowing you to adjust targets precisely while maintaining visual confirmation on the integrated screen.

Installation and configuration are handled through Flight Panels’ All-In-One Installer, which automates the setup of required third-party components such as FSUIPC7 and PilotsDeck. For PC-12 pilots who regularly fly IFR or prefer hardware-based interaction over virtual cockpit controls, the add-on offers a structured and aircraft-focused way to integrate the Stream Deck Plus into a Microsoft Flight Simulator setup.

Alongside the release of the Pilatus PC-12 Stream Deck Plus Autopilot Panel, Flight Panels is currently 🔥 running a 25 percent discount across its wider range of Stream Deck profiles.
