Five key strengths:

• Faithful replica of the plane Designed with a scaled layout and authentic cockpit details, the DAP offers a realistic general aviation autopilot experience, thanks to ergonomic controls and precise tactile feedback, for simulation as close to reality as possible.

• Automatic ambient lighting The panel's built-in backlighting improves visibility and immersion, particularly during night flights or in low-light conditions. The automatic brightness adapts to your simulation environment without requiring complex setup, allowing you to stay focused on the flight.

• Easy installation Simply plug the panel in via USB to use it. All buttons are fully configurable. It is compatible with most popular aircraft thanks to our Bridge software, for a simpler and faster setup.

• Standard HID game controller Functions as a standard HID device, enabling smooth in-game key configuration and flexible customisation across a wide range of flight simulation platforms.

• High-end aluminium alloy stand included Supplied with a bespoke aluminium stand that turns your DAP into a decorative object. Mounting holes on the rear allow for easy installation in the cockpit.
