Flight Velocity ACE Flight Control Console | Flight Sim Wings | Yoke | Vernier TPM

Runthrough of the ACE Flight Control Console designed and built by Flight Sim Wings and distributed by Flight Velocity.

There is some new gear in town! I think this gear hits a good spot for those that want to move up from the Honeycomb, Logitech gear without paying top end pricing. It's nice to have some options.

1:30 ... Thanks for including the measurements! Flight Velocity does not have them posted!
Mounting an AltimeterMotives Panel on the Flight Velocity Ace Control Panel (vs. mounting on my 5" high Alpha Yoke), will drop my view over the glare shield by 1-1/4 inches. The height of the AltimeterMotives Gen2 Panel (with 23.8" monitor attached), is about 13-1/4". The height of the Ace Control is 3-1/4". The combo = 16-1/2" high. That's probably still a little higher than in the real Cessna 172 but do-able so thanks again for including the measurements!
My conclusion:... I looked up the prices if purchased separately...Honeycomb Yoke ($349), Throttle/trim wheel combo ($199), Avionics Switch Panel ($90), Flaps Switch ($77), Landing Gear Switch ($57), Fuel Selector ($88), Brake Switch ($63)... or about $896 total! The difference is about $400! Is doesn't sounds like an unreasonable price when you add the following: ... the metal cabinet ...$$, ...7, 8, or 9? USB connector cables ...$$, a USB Hub to connect them all... $$, the labor time to rig it all together... $$(time is money, money is time!) Plus it looks GREAT!

Thanks for making this video. Definitely something I would think about investing in.

The console looks impressive. I use the Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo and just like you I am looking for a step up and figure this may be it.

The only things, that you also point out is the terrible little trim wheel but I guess I could mount an external one either the old saitek trim or the one from FlightVelocity. What is your opinion about the yoke though. It really lacks buttons and a view POV toogle, does it bother you or are you using Tooby eye tracker or similar?

I giess the option is to buy a plywood board do cutouts and just pick other sim part and mount them yourself.

The yoke/throttle combo looks like a good product to have. Tried the flight sim stuff tpm but the clamp deformed. Have you tried the flight velocity console?

I just got the flight velocity ace controls, I’m having difficulty binding the controls (pretty much every switch and control).

Does this work for MSFS 2020?

[mikaelcedergren]

After some time now are you still impressed by the ACE console? I am interrsted in it but still would be nice to just get individual components and add my own DIY plywood type console with cutouts. A bit more expensive of course for stuff like VirtualFly and such. Touch call 😁

[Bush_Fam]

Wow the price of this went up big time.

[butchmcgeeair]

Does each of the components need individual binding? Difficult and time consuming to do that ? Thanks

[wyeejones]

Are you still enjoying the Control Console? How realistic has it been with the yolk and throttle controls?

[andrew]

does every component have it's own usb or does one plug connect the entire unit ?

[Rodriguezadam]

Have you had any luck using the push to talk button on the yoke for mic transmission to VATSIM ATC??

[nyrubin]

Is it spring loaded like your honeycomb? Or is it more like the red bird yoke which is a little more realistic?

[rogercox]

There is no other switch on the yoke for Aileron or rudder trim?
