Unique Look & Feel

Each of our Stream Deck Profiles for Microsoft Flight Simulator contains hundreds of pre-configured buttons, each with it's own look at feel but keeping in character with the aircraft that it's designed for. In most cases, buttons may have multiple states such as On, Off or Auto, which means that a typical profile can contain hundreds - if not thousands of individual images!
"At Flight Panels, we are fueled by a relentless pursuit of quality. We believe that excellence is a journey, not a destination. Each profile we develop reflects our dedication to precision, performance, and attention to detail, enabling our users to enjoy a seamless and thrilling flying experience. We inspire our team to strive for greatness in every aspect of our work."

STREAM DECK

At Flight Panels we develop profiles exclusively for Microsoft Flight Simulator, the Stream Deck XL, Stream Deck +, MK.2 and Stream Deck Mobile for iOS and Android. So why should you choose a Stream Deck for your Flight Simulator setup, instead of a dedicated piece of hardware?

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Multi-Purpose & Universally Compatible

One of the key advantages of using a Stream Deck to control your aircraft buttons, switches, dials and systems is its universal compatibility. Unlike dedicated hardware, which is often tied to specific aircraft or systems, the Stream Deck can be used to control virtually any aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator, making it a great choice for those of who fly multiple aircraft or want a multipurpose tool.
Ultra Sleek Physical & Visual Experience

When it comes to space efficiency, the Stream Deck excels with its compact and ergonomic design. It avoids clutter and can replace multiple pieces of hardware, making it an excellent choice for users with limited desk space. While dedicated hardware can enhance realism, the Stream Deck’s flexibility ensures a broader, more accessible experience.
Future Proofing & Expansion

Flight Panels Profiles can be utilised across multiple Stream Deck devices simultaneously, providing convenient access to multiple aircraft panels. This includes the Stream Deck +, which includes new standout features such as the inclusion of rotary dials that can be used to control altitude, heading, speed, communication frequencies and much more.
Physical Build Quality

The Stream Deck boasts sturdy construction, made from durable materials that give it a solid and reliable feel. It exudes a sense of quality, avoiding the flimsy or cheaply made impression found in lesser devices. Despite its 32-key layout, it features a compact and sleek design that maintains a slim profile and fits comfortably on most desks.
Premium Tactile Feel

The keys are a standout feature of the Stream Deck XL. Each of the 32 keys is a mini LCD screen that offers vibrant colors, excellent clarity, and sharp icon representation. The screens are not only visually appealing but also highly responsive, providing tactile feedback that feels satisfying to use.
