10 out of 5 stars!
If you are even marginally into flight sim, get this after you buy or with your flight stick/throttle/rudder pedals. If you already have those, what are you waiting for? Get this handy little thing, you will not be sorry! Plug and play for FS2024 (don't know about others, sorry). I fly the 172 G1000 and the 208B G1000 in career mode and have no idea what I did before. Now this doesn't "look" like a panel for a specific aircraft because it isn't suppose to be. it works with all aircraft in MS2024 (not sure about marketplace addons though I don't know why it wouldn't). This is an interface so you can easily Change freq's like the real thing. The knob is a 2 part knob with base turning for big numbers and top for small numbers and a "click" push down just like the real thing. This is far better than dragging your mouse across the screen! And honestly, I got this because dragging the mouse across the screen is scream worthy. I almost quit ms2024 because I hated it so much. but this thing is a dream! Not only can you change comm and nav freq's as well as switch to active or not, you can change the altimeter setting by selecting Com2 and push down (click) on the knob, then rotate the bottom knob until desired setting is in, so easy! You can change pages on the left and right screen, change the transponder, select procedures, and of course full auto pilot control! Each button lights up when selected so you know if its active or not and which comm or nav you are on as well as your AP settings. Adjust Auto Pilot Alt setting by selecting "AP" then Alt and rotating knob until desired setting is in. Honestly this has more buttons and uses than I have described here. Now, I fly in VR so I don't look at this when using it. It's easy to memorize most buttons and function. Plus this has a raised "line" between the left buttons and the right ones. Also has a raised "bump" in the middle of the left buttons so you can easily feel where your fingers are in VR and without looking. Soft keys but firm. Construction of this thing is wonderful! Very durable and small size, easy to store or set aside when not in use, takes up virtually little room. As for value, The Octavi-IFR is well worth the money. Heck, id be happy to pay more for it for what joy and functionality this brings to my sim! What I am truly surprised by is the price, this is easily a lot cheaper than many "dedicated" or "specific aircraft" only panels cost. and this can be used on all the planes, not just the glass panel ones. or specific models like other panels. I truly love this thing. I hope that the company does well and produces other plug ins like this. Though honestly, I am not sure what I would add as what I don't have buttons on my flight stick and throttle programmed for, I just use the on screen mouse to "click" the switches like lights etc. But this manages my comms, nav, screens and AP! Thanks Octavi! P.s. I have been using the Octavi-Ifr now for 10 months and it still works like a charm! ... show more

Absolute game changer
This is a complete game changer. If you are serious about flight SIM, this is an absolute must have. This product is well build and well designed. If you are like me and sick and tired of endless scrolling and dragging your mouse to set altitude and heading for the autopilot and try to program a radio frequency, this unit completely eliminates the need for a mouse when doing that. The rotary encoder is amazing and registers every click. I tried to use the rotary encoder on the honeycomb bravo but it was a complete disaster and didn't register clicks well at all. This Octavi IVR registers every click and is very smooth. I wish it had a "FLC" (Flight Level Change) button, but I can just use vertical speed instead, so no big deal there. The heading hold and NAV hold buttons are a little hard to press, but other than that, i absolutely love this thing and wish I had bought it sooner. One thing to mention, you have to install the plug-in, Then launch MSFS 2024, then launch the plugin and it should say "connected to MSFS 2020" before it will work. *Edit, the HDG and NAV buttons are NOT hard to press, I just needed to set the button to "delayed response" in the simulator because it was registering too quickly. After that, it works flawlessly! ... show more

Just get it
It’s good. Really good. It does what it says it does, and the build quality is fantastic. Out of the box functionality w/the plugin is acceptable. I don’t really use the stock aircraft in MSFS, but I tested the controls on the 172 (non-G1000 version), and things behaved as expected. Autopilot behavior on all the different button presses and combos definitely has a learning curve to it. I use the WBSim 152 as my main GA aircraft, and there are definitely issues w/ functionality with the standard plugin. But, Octavi very clearly says to expect issues with third-party aircraft. To remedy this, I downloaded MobiFlight and Octavi’s provided C172 profile. After a few tweaks to the inputs, I am able to get MobiFlight to have the controls do exactly what I want them to do. All said and done, it was about 30 minutes of trial and error. I cannot recommend this thing highly enough. The combo of being able to set all your steam-guage instruments, radios, and NAV headings, is just so darn cool. This thing is barely bigger than a credit card, super sleek looking, and well-made. ... show more

Very useful and a quality design and build
This is a great little device, and makes flying so much more fun. Rather than having the frustration of trying to fidget with knobs and buttons in the simulator, this device brings it to the fingertips. I use it with the Linux version of X-Plane 12 via the FlyWithLua plug-in and some Lua scripts that Octavi sent me directly (they don't have them for download). They don't "officially" support Linux, but are making these available to at least be able to work with common aircraft, such as the Cirrus planes... basically, anything with a Garmin unit, for the most part. You *will* have to do a little homework with getting FlyWithLua working before you can use the scripts Octavi has. FlyWithLua isn't that difficult to get installed and working, but it's not "plug-and-play". Some searches on flight simulator forums and a little reading, and you should be fine. (Special tip for Ubuntu 24.04 users... the commonly-available FlyWithLua download as of December 2024 is built with an older library that Ubuntu 24.04 has a newer version of, and FlyWithLua won't work, initially. There is a download of a newer build that someone in the community made that is copy/paste over the original one... or, if you're so-inclined, you can clone the Git repo of FlyWithLua and build it yourself. That's what I ultimately did.) In any case, it's a great little life-upgrade device for flying. I give it 4 out of 5 stars because it really is that nice. It'd be 5 stars if their Linux support was a bit better, even if they just had a well-written step-by-step page. Highly recommend. ... show more

Makes the flight simulator experience much more realistic
I use this with X-Plane 12. Works as advertised and very easy to set up. Makes the flight simulator much more realistic and is much easier to use the flight controls.

A high quality addition to your flight sim
I am writing this review as the company was kind enough to refund my purchase. It requires Mobiflight to program it and run it which simple as it is, it did override my computer’s ability to recognize aftermarket products such as my helicopter collective and throttle. This was problematic for me because I had to go back into the programming software and have the computer recognize it all over. However - I did have the ability to test this product out and I must say its quality is second best to none. It reminds me of a very nice electronic component in a luxury car. The features were simple with clear instructions and it has a very valuable purpose. This was very helpful for setting navigation and autopilot when the work to do so prior required having to take eyes off the flight path and click and scroll while actively moving, which affected my point of view, distance, and sometimes if not frequently inadvertently activating other buttons. It is a very clean, ergonomic, and sleek device. It comes well packaged and is overall high quality and worth the price. I wish I could have made it work but I’m not a tech guru and those who are, could probably use all things flawlessly. I do recommend this product. ... show more

Octavi IFR-1 - You'll wonder how you ever flew without it!!!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Other flight sim products simply don't do what the Octavi IFR-1 does. It interacts flawlessly with the G1000 in the Cessna 172 G1000 that came with my X-Plane 12. But, it also works flawlessly with the Diamond D20 that I purchased for X-Plane 12. I've not used in with another aircraft because I'm enjoying it so much with these two. While I'm taxiing out to the runway, I'm dialing in my flight altitude of 4,500' and a vertical speed of 500 fpm, and turning my heading bug to the runway heading without EVER touching my mouse. After takeoff, I establish a climb of 500 fpm and press the button to activate the autopilot to climb to my selected altitude. Then I press the HDG button to follow my heading bug. Boom!! It's that simple and easy. Actually, it's more like purchasing airplane magic at an excellent price. The IFR-1 is so good, so complete in features that it is hard to believe Octavi is a "startup" company and this is their first production model. This is a talented team, and I can't wait to see what they do next! ... show more

I am a flight sim junkie. When I saw the IFR-1 I "bit" like a starving fish. It arrived quickly and I instantly installed the software (on MSFS 2024). There is a little learning curve, like a calculator with multi-function buttons. On day one everything worked perfectly. On day two, one very important function stopped working when using the top small knob. I spent hours trying to figure out what happened overnight, the small knob worked for everything except that one item (Vertical Speed). I gave up after hours and emailed support. After multiple discussions with the tech, Daniel, he pinned down where the problem was expected. It was an overlooked flight sim function duplication. Once corrected the IFR-1 was perfect. Lack of or poor support ruins the products worth, no worries here. I was surprised that my emails were actually answered within minutes after being sent. The entire event was fast and professional, I could not have asked for better support. p.s. I learned a bit about proper function modifications too. ... show more
