  • Flight sim add-on
Nice add-on for flight sims. Well designed and easy to install.

  • 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

  • SUPPORT1
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

  • Lovely device, also useful for larger cockpit setups
I already love my IFR-1 and will say it does exactly what it claims to do. The knob has a nice feel to it and is much more like the real thing than using a Knobster. The buttons are a bit soft, and I worry about their long term lifespan, but everything works. My only gripe is that for this premium price (and I get it - smaller niche market) they left too many functions of shift keys. There are mode keys and then clicking the knob is a shift key as well. For this price, they should have put it more buttons. Leave the half dozen Mode buttons, but eliminate Shift keys (blue labels on top of the buttons). Just add that many buttons. Also those blue labels are very difficult to see. The backlights only help for the white labels on the primary functions but the blue functions are important and used on every flight too. Like FPL, for example. You have to memorize where it is, or check a referenced, or add an led light above your IFR-1 if you're using this in more of a cockpit setup. Overall 4 stars. Simply adding enough buttons to eliminate "knob-click-shifting into the blue functions" entirely would make this a 5-star product. ... show more

  • Marvelous UNIT!
Very well made. Download the software and you are all set. It’s self explanatory and has a very nice tactile feel. Would love to see an upgrade with a light indicating when you are in the secondary functions. If you are into MSFS 2020 or 2024 and enjoy flying with glass Garmin instruments then this is for you. Small and compact and it performs all the functions as some bulkier systems on the market. ... show more

  • Love it!
Awesome device for flight simmers. Much better than using your mouse to activate various nav or autopilot functions. If you don’t want to spend the massive $$ to buy the panels, this device fits the bill. I especially like using the knobs for altimeter, altitude, heading, or nav waypoint changes…much better than the mouse. Like the old commercial days, “try it, you’ll like it!” ... show more
