I have dreamed of getting a Bravo for a year, and thankfully for this old person, someone paid attention and gifted me one for my Birthday! Cool having a friend who also likes flying. Kinda humbling. WAY too much of a gift.
Anyway, I knew it was good when my kitty copilot approved of the packaging.
Spent all day testing and configuring the default setup, as you need all buttons working BEFORE making a default template to setup configuration for simpler GA planes and more complex jets.
Absolutely stunning hardware. Hard to know for sure at this point as it is the shiny new piece in my collection, but the Bravo might be my favorite piece of peripheral hardware ever… for any sim. There really isn’t anything else like it. It keeps your hands off the mouse and keyboard. And it really does make the more complex, two engine prop planes feel bigger and more powerful. The slightest change in how it feels to control… but it feels right and now the planes feel properly big when I fly them compared to single engine GA craft.
Tonight, I might be able to configure for complex airliners.
Amazing how good hardware can bring a sim new life.
