Review: 10 out of 5 stars! - If you are even marginally into flight sim, get this after you buy or with your flight stick/throttle/rudder pedals. If you already have those, what are you waiting for? Get this handy little thing, you will not be sorry! Plug and play for FS2024 (don't know about others, sorry). I fly the 172 G1000 and the 208B G1000 in career mode and have no idea what I did before. Now this doesn't "look" like a panel for a specific aircraft because it isn't suppose to be. it works with all aircraft in MS2024 (not sure about marketplace addons though I don't know why it wouldn't). This is an interface so you can easily Change freq's like the real thing. The knob is a 2 part knob with base turning for big numbers and top for small numbers and a "click" push down just like the real thing. This is far better than dragging your mouse across the screen! And honestly, I got this because dragging the mouse across the screen is scream worthy. I almost quit ms2024 because I hated it so much. but this thing is a dream! Not only can you change comm and nav freq's as well as switch to active or not, you can change the altimeter setting by selecting Com2 and push down (click) on the knob, then rotate the bottom knob until desired setting is in, so easy! You can change pages on the left and right screen, change the transponder, select procedures, and of course full auto pilot control! Each button lights up when selected so you know if its active or not and which comm or nav you are on as well as your AP settings. Adjust Auto Pilot Alt setting by selecting "AP" then Alt and rotating knob until desired setting is in. Honestly this has more buttons and uses than I have described here. Now, I fly in VR so I don't look at this when using it. It's easy to memorize most buttons and function. Plus this has a raised "line" between the left buttons and the right ones. Also has a raised "bump" in the middle of the left buttons so you can easily feel where your fingers are in VR and without looking. Soft keys but firm. Construction of this thing is wonderful! Very durable and small size, easy to store or set aside when not in use, takes up virtually little room. As for value, The Octavi-IFR is well worth the money. Heck, id be happy to pay more for it for what joy and functionality this brings to my sim! What I am truly surprised by is the price, this is easily a lot cheaper than many "dedicated" or "specific aircraft" only panels cost. and this can be used on all the planes, not just the glass panel ones. or specific models like other panels. I truly love this thing. I hope that the company does well and produces other plug ins like this. Though honestly, I am not sure what I would add as what I don't have buttons on my flight stick and throttle programmed for, I just use the on screen mouse to "click" the switches like lights etc. But this manages my comms, nav, screens and AP! Thanks Octavi! P.s. I have been using the Octavi-Ifr now for 10 months and it still works like a charm!
Review: Absolute game changer - This is a complete game changer. If you are serious about flight SIM, this is an absolute must have. This product is well build and well designed. If you are like me and sick and tired of endless scrolling and dragging your mouse to set altitude and heading for the autopilot and try to program a radio frequency, this unit completely eliminates the need for a mouse when doing that. The rotary encoder is amazing and registers every click. I tried to use the rotary encoder on the honeycomb bravo but it was a complete disaster and didn't register clicks well at all. This Octavi IVR registers every click and is very smooth. I wish it had a "FLC" (Flight Level Change) button, but I can just use vertical speed instead, so no big deal there. The heading hold and NAV hold buttons are a little hard to press, but other than that, i absolutely love this thing and wish I had bought it sooner. One thing to mention, you have to install the plug-in, Then launch MSFS 2024, then launch the plugin and it should say "connected to MSFS 2020" before it will work. *Edit, the HDG and NAV buttons are NOT hard to press, I just needed to set the button to "delayed response" in the simulator because it was registering too quickly. After that, it works flawlessly!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great and makes IFR tasks much more natural
*by H***I on February 22, 2026*

Very well made product works as described.., Highly recommended if you are looking to practice approaches in your Xplane simulator (11) Works very smoothly and makes the tasks much more natural and easier to manage. A little bit of a learning curve but easy enough
