Description

Controller for Microsoft Flight Simulator

Zooming in on your Switch Panel, Radio Stack or Autopilot Panel is history thanks to the Shakeprint Simulation Class Echo. Because of the innovative Class Echo controller, you will have these (and many more!) features at your fingertips.

The software for this panel is developed by Shakeprint Simulations and allows you to, for example, easily control your autopilot, set your radio frequency through a numerical keyboard on the touchscreen, or to project information relevant to your route on the screen. See the full list of features the Class Echo comes with below on this page.

It is important to note that the Class Echo is delivered to you as a kit of components that still need to be put together, and the electronics (arduino and touch screen) are not included. Soldering is not a necessity, but some ‘handiness’ is required. You can find an extensive step-by-step guide on YouTube.

If you encounter any problems, we and the team behind the Class Echo will always be there to assist you and answer all your questions.

Arduino Microcontroller as a beating heart

An Arduino Mega 2560 R3 microcontroller (not included) at the heart of the Class Echo connects the touchscreen panel (not included) and the interface to the Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Neither the Arduino Microcontroller nor the Nextion TouchScreen is included by Shakeprint Simulations. We have bundled these components for you in an Electronics Kit so you can add these to your order at once.

Designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

The Class Echo is compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Shakeprint Simulation’s innovative software uses SPAD.next to communicate with the flight sim.
SPAD.next is not included and may be purchased separately through its developer’s website.
