Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

I use it with aircraft from PMDG Boeing and QW Ultimate Boeing 787.
PMDG failed to configure some buttons, such as on/off landing lights and strobes. In QW 787, the setting works. It also works in default aircraft. Although I noticed in the default aircraft Prepar confuses the positions on and off. I could not win, but I realized that this was due to the fact that after loading some aircraft already had strobes and navigation lights on.
Reverse works on both PMDG and QW. Only in advance it needs to be configured in the game settings. Just for this, I pasted the lining. When you turn on the reverse, you need to slightly raise the throttle and move it to the OFF position, and then lift it again and move it to the IDLE position. At this moment, the RUD itself was driving around the table. After the sticker, there were practically no such movements. Though it might just take some getting used to.

Expensive, but the pleasure of use and convenience. It is better to be expensive and to be liked than cheap and to experience inconvenience, or even to throw it on the shelf in a couple of weeks.

Pros

I have only RUD. I bought only RUD, since the joystick already has a Logitech Extreme 3D PRO. Although the throttle was originally designed for the DCS game, the A-10 aircraft, but I took it for the Prepar3D game. It also works in Microsoft Flight Simulator. It will work with X-Plane too. Other ores will envy the quality of execution. The accuracy of the "thrust" is regulated super. This is especially important when landing. On my joystick on the existing lever, such accuracy was impossible to achieve. Constantly he added a lot, then he subtracted a lot, that is, the move was short. The tight running of the ore also gives its plus for the most accurate adjustment of the traction mode. Heaviness is a definite plus. But in order to not slide at all on the table, I glued a foam rubberized pad to the bottom (I don’t know what it’s called correctly). In the comments I will write why I needed it. The switches are all metal. Almost everything switches with effort and a characteristic sound. That gives a certain taste. If you watched a video from the cockpits of 2022 aircraft, there is the same switching sound. A bunch of buttons that you can customize for yourself + will still be free. The main buttons on the ORE handle itself: TO / GA, spoiler reinforcement, autothrottle disabling, spoiler release and retraction. Installation is simple. I connected it to USB, downloaded the drivers, installed them and that's it, flew to play.

Cons
