  • 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

  • Outstanding add to a C172 in Xplane12 !
Highly recommend this product. It takes simulation to the next level. Easily access/adjust radios, kollsman/baro, heading bug and many more features. I'm running the Cessna 172 sim on Xplane 12. Installation was simple and operation is seamless. No more fumbling to change frequencies with the clumsiness of the mouse. I did have some questions for tech support before I purchased and Felix was very responsive and most helpful. Very glad I purchased. Regarding the stand, Felix has them made by a 3rd party. They're not on the website however, if you wanted to order one you could contact Octavi to coordinate. ... show more

  • Game changer
This little thing is a game changer for flight sim. It’s plug and play for fs2024. I wanted something for auto pilot to get away from the endless scrolling to select speed/alt/heading. You can even control the fms with it. Well constructed. Absolutely one of the best peripherals I’ve bought for flight simming. ... show more

  • Hitting well above its weight for Price to Utility for Flight Sims
Honestly, for the price, this is about as good as you're going to get. There are better options out there that integrate better with flight sims but expect to spend 5x or more to get that 'authentic' feel. It works well with MSFS releases, X-Plane, and you can even get it working under Linux (with 3rd party community add-ons for XP12). The things I knock it down for are the fact non-windows support requires the use of third parties, and some of the sometimes clunky use to enter or switch modes between the blue and gold options. You have to develop some muscle memory to internally memorize, as you may times accidentally trigger CDI or OBS. That being said, it grows quite well with your setup. I now use dedicated buttons on my STECS and joystick for AP, HDG, and some other things, but I do keep using the IFR-1 for quickly entering my procedures into the FMS, setting transponder, and my COM/NAVs. ... 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

  • 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

  • Annoying to install, confusing to use
This product has to be disassembled to install on a the (very expensive, not included) mounting bracket. It works well, but it is its own product. It’s not “almost a GNS-530,” but rather its own product that you have to learn. Buy one with more buttons so that they buttons do only one thing. This requires that you memorize too many modes “Oh the heading bug is the course bug if it’s not Friday, and then to set the OBS you use the altitude knob, except on prime numbered Thursday.” Yes, it’s better than using the mouse, but God help you if you then try to fly a real GNS-530. ... 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
