    It’s good to see that Loupedeck seem to be looking at the flight sim world. With their knowledge they should look at creating an FS specific bit of hardware to fill the gap in the market for relatively inexpensive G1000 control and AP control in other aircraft. I.e. a mix of buttons and dual rotary encoders with displays for selected ALT etc…

    Thanks for doing this. Our Twitch-streaming Daughter went off to college and I (perhaps temporarily) inherited the LoupeDeck Live that I got her for Christmas last year. Great little bit of kit. Found the MSFS profile and have enjoyed it. Immediately thought ‘why aren’t more people talking about this use-case?’ Planning on a alpha/beta/touchscreen setup but in meantime this has been very helpful. The one main thing that I’m missing is being able to use the rotaries to control knobs (inner/outer) on the G1000. Thanks again. Well done.

    Thanks for the video. I was unaware of this product. I like the physical knobs, but you didn't mention using the buttons as analogue gauges. In my 24 button Streamdeck I have a gauge 4 buttons tall for AGL and another 4 for VS. Both handy for landings where the software is grading you. EG: Neofly. I know the dash has a VS gauge, but most don't have AGL. The VS gauge is EZer to see while you are watching the runway. Which button is active gives you a coarse idea of you VS, or proximity to the ground (AGL). I am giving each of your knobs credit for two buttons, as we are using two buttons for heading and 2 more for VOR1 course, 2 for altitude and more. I am sure I can find uses for all 6 knobs! As I already have the Streamdeck, (recommended to me by Arashona who also gave me most of my settings), this would be an add-on to that, and I _might_ just get it for the knobs. Our Bravos have one knob shared by 5 or 6 things to set. I use it for VS mostly. Atltitude is on the Streamdeck. We weren't able to find a way to set the G1000's map range though. I haven't searched lately, so maybe they have added that, or perhaps it was there already under an obscure name. Twiddling the on-sceen know while in the flying view is a real pain, as you mouse doesn't jounce in sync with the plane jouncing. (all is good when you select the zoomed in dash view). Arashona also gave me dual gauges for fuel, Aileron/rudder trim et al. And single gauges for other stuff like elevator trim. Also, most of my button settings too. I just added the stacks of four to what he gave me. I also recently added AOA 0 - 2 degrees and AOA 0 - 6 degrees. I think I may have found the AGL on my own... after he trained me. ;)

    Excellent as always. You might wish to 'gild the lily' by highlighting a little more the amazing flexibility of [button press] switching between workspaces, dial and touch pages. To the new user this incredibly useful flexibility is not initially evident. And it avoids spaghetti button collections. Just a thought... 😎

  • @aerofart
    @aerofart Před rokem +1

    VR USERS NEGLECTED, as usual. It would be nice if VR developers would work with companies like LoupeDeck to make their devices VR-Friendly. For example, the LoupeDeck device could have some indexing LEDS or markers on each corner of the device that could be sensed by VR headsets which would have in-app software overlays that would draw a virtual LoupeDeck in VR so that the device could be located/used with VR headset on. I think these are missed opportunities all around. Granted, the LoupDeck is not a dedicated game controller, but there seems to be no practical reason why it cannot be tailored to do the job, and the fact that MSFS profiles and icon libraries exist should be a clue that a demand exists. Great review, as usual, Mark. Thanks!

    • @SimHangerFS
      @SimHangerFS  Před rokem +1

      With SpadNext (complete edition) you can get the Loupedeck to use voice, so when you press a button or turn a dial it tells you what action your doing.

    • @aerofart
      @aerofart Před rokem

      @@SimHangerFS that’s helpful, for sure. It’s also helpful to have the tactile rotary knobs to give you a sense of where your hands are (in real world) when flying hooded. I use a 10-key style gaming controller and am able to find my controls pretty reliably most of the time using touch. Still, this is the year 2022 and augmented reality is a pretty well-know thing. We should be putting all this technology and knowledge to better use.

I've ensured that the active keyboard profile in MSFS 2020 has the same keykboard shortcut as the Loupedeck custom keyboard shortcut, but they don't work. The loupedeck does not even "buzz" when you press the shortcut. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

    • @einfussganger
      @einfussganger Před 9 měsíci

      Yes (there's a physical plastic grid that could assist in feeling your way to the proper button) HOWEVER, the "buttons" are actually super sensitive touch screen locations and as soon as you fumble your fingers across them (counting to get to the right one), you'll activate each along the way. In this sense, it's huge fail for VR.

    In your video you mention Icon City MSFS Icons Package and you showed a few free icons available from the LoupDeck Marketplace.
    I decide to purchase the full package that include 477 icons. The icons are great, but they do not include an install package and cannot be used until manually installed via a long tedious process.
    In order to use them one must manually create 24 files and customize each for each of the 24 different directories which the icons come in based on their usage.
    It's a very tedious and time consuming process to manually install them. So, I do not recommend this product for the the LoupeDeck until they create an install script/bat file.
    I reached out to Icon City but they weren’t helpful at creating an install package. The only thing they did was add a comment that Additional Work would be required for it to work on LoupeDeck.
    Hopefully in an upcoming review you can mention this problem.

    I've FINALLY managed to completely program the entire cockpit of the c172. It was worth it. Mixed with another little macro pad (Megladon DOIO - very inexpensive, highly recommend) and the Track IR, I am now taking entirely mouse and keyboard free flights. It's amazing. Did you manage to get around the limitation of the 16 channels of the knobs? I cant work out a way to program more than 16.

    I attempted to do the same with Stream Decks. In some respects the Loupedeck looks like a better fit, mainly because of feedback of information and of course the rotary. Simulating rotaries with buttons is a terrible idea, but what do you do on a Streamdeck? I'm curious as to how profiles work on the Loupedeck, as I use these instead of folders on the SD to avoid page hierarchies. Very helpful demo - I'll look into acquiring one. Thank you

    Thanks for your review. Looks impressive but seems to me like it only adds an unnecessary/overkill gadget to flight sim. Seems to me closer "realism" is already available in the cockpit via mouse. If one prefers to physically touch a control, a standard keyboard can be mapped to most controls. What am I missing?

    I’ll wait for a version 2 because I think they missed a key opportunity: had they used dual rotary encoders instead of single encoders there would be a lot more hardware you could emulate. For both VR and non-VR users dials are frustrating to use with the mouse. That is even more so for dual encoders such as found on GPS units. This could have resolved much of that. Maybe they’ll consider that in an updated/expanded version.
