Great product. Used over two years now as an addition to my complete Cessna 172 sim. All functions go.

When my 10 year old switch panel started to go out, I searched the market for some replacement options. There were a few options that resembled what I was looking for, but they were either not plug and play, or they were lacking other features I was wanted like a spring return magneto switch. This Ignition Panel from Desktop Pilot does just that. The key springs back from the start position like the real world counterpart. The metal toggle switches appear robust, I'm hoping the plastic rocker switches hold up sufficiently as they appear to be a digital type making end user replacement a bit more difficult if that were to happen. 3D printing has really advanced the manufacturing of flight sim components. The enclosure is 3D printed along with part of the mag switch spring mechanism. But the face plate is steel, and is easily removed from the enclosure to mount in your own panel as I have done. The footprint of the unit appears to closely resemble a 172S. The circuit breakers are non-functional, but resembled well enough for a check list flow. I considered removing them to replace with tactile buttons but the holes are too large to accept what I wanted to put there, but the size might accept an actual circuit breaker. Overall, out of the box, I would give the unit 5 stars for versatility, functionality, and appearance. My video of it in operation was too large to post here, but you can view it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vLT6dn8MtEuBatvP6IQR5laXU54BPQhQ/view?usp=drive_link

Great switch set . The key switch with spring back is excellent

Long time CH Products user, Beta Tester. After my Saitek/Logitech Switch Panel died I was looking for something new. To replace it, I found the Desktop Pilot Ignition Switch Panel. WOW! EASY to set up in X-Plane, MSFS, as well using SPADneXt for Prepar3D. I was so impressed by the build quality and programming I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the Throttle Quadrant, Plaps Switch, Parking Brake, Pitch Trim and Fuel Select/Shut Off.
