Comparison of 'virtual' instrument solutions

[lesthegrngo]

Guys, I'm curious to know whether any of you have done a comparison of the three software based instrument panel solutions. There are the two free ones at the top, simpit software and Helios, and I also see a paid software slution, simpanels panel builder.

 

Anyone have any back to back comparisons?

 

Cheers

Helios had support for Phidget controller cards, not sure if it still does.

 

Ikarus wants you to use Arcaze controller cards, hard to get here in the US. Non issue if you go with Arduinos and DCS-BIOS along with the gauges of Ikarus.

 

Ikraus 100% reliable, Helios, not so much. (not sure f it has changed).

 

Helios had a much better editor.

 

I saw better overall performance with Ikarus and I will contribute to it when I finish the pit.
