AuthentiKit Reviews

Here are a few reviews recently published by members of the flight sim community who have tested AuthentiKit products.

Thanks to Overkill for his second review of AuthentiKit. This time we get him very excited about the Mustang P-51D throttle.

Well this isn't an external review as such but there isn't much better validation than having the Royal Air Force use your products for emergency training of their pilots.

If you're trying to get your head around what AuthentiKit is, our friend Mark at SimHanger made this very useful overview video that takes you through the process from start to finish.

This review is the first time we've persuaded a flight sim content creator to fully assemble a set of AuthentiKit controls from scratch. Tactical Pascale was a little unsure but you can see he got on rather well.

Many thanks to the SimHanger channel for this review. I asked Mark to kick the tyres a little and explain what AuthentiKit is all about in simple language for regular simmers rather than home cockpit engineer types.

The Spitfire spade grip flight stick not only feels great to hold and use but it also includes the authentic hand operated brake lever you need if you want to handle a Spitfire on the ground the way it should be done.

When you add the throttle quadrant and elevator trim wheel to the flight stick the whole experience becomes a lot more immersive, as VR Flight Sim Guy finds out.

This is very much a community project. Here's a video made by Ian Colman showing his attempt to "speed build" the elevator trim wheel. This particular control is a great introduction to building AuthentiKit projects.

Here's the latest review by Skil of Grim Reapers who talks not only about the experience of flying with the Spitfire MkIX flight stick but also the options for getting one of your own.

A mention on TV no less! MRTV that is. Our friend VR Flight Sim Guy gave us a nice plug when asked about what is interesting with VR flight simulation at present.

Steve tests his Spitfire flying skills in the DCS MkIX using the AuthentiKit Spitfire flight stick.

Steve, VR Flight Sim Guy made a follow up video showing where he bravely took his IL2 Spitfire MkIX into battle over England using his AuthentiKit flight stick.

AuthentiKit's first ever review no less! I was delighted by VR Flight Sim Guy's reaction when unboxing and flying a pre-release version of the Flying Iron Spitfire MkIX for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
