Full User Review: Rowsfire A107 Overhead Panel

If you love Microsoft Flight Simulator and you're considering buying an overhead panel to further enhance your Flight Simulator immersion, in my case, for the Fenix A32X series, although other aircraft models are supported, Rowsfire have an exciting and affordable solution that ticks many boxes.

First to note is the build quality of the Rowsfire A107 V3, It's a solid unit and well weighted at 1000g out of the box, the rotary switches, switches and push buttons all react positively with a great sound to them, having the casing made from aluminium gives a very sturdy base for the VESA mount and along with just the one USB-C connector for both power and data will help to keep your system nice and tidy.

I started my A107 V3 experience using Mobiflight, which did work but required some tweaking. However, since then, as promised by Rowsfire, they have released their RF Connect Software, which, in my opinion, is miles better and far more intuitive to use.

The pricing point at which these are being sold is perfect for someone like me, who doesn't mind spending a few hundred dollars/pounds on a home desktop setup. In comparison to similar manufacturers, Rowsfire is smashing it.

Overall, in my opinion, this is a great product from Rowsfire that I would recommend to any Flight Sim enthusiast looking for a more immersive and hands-on experience.

If I may indulge a little more...

Let me set the scene, MSFS 2024 accompanied with the following software: Rowsfire RF Connect, SimBrief, GSX-pro and FSLTL Traffic Injector. Parked up cold and dark at Gate 41c EGBB in a British Airways Fenix A320.

The panel introduces itself with the battery voltages displayed and the EXT Power showing as available. A quick press on the EXT PWR and the system jumps in to life, running through the panel quickly gets the Fenix ready for flight, Left tank pumps on, pump 1 on, pump 2 on, right tank pumps on. ADIRS IR1 on, IR2 on, IR3 all confirmed with a quick 'ON BATT' notification, APU Bleed on, APU Master Switch On, wait a few seconds and start the APU, which switches from 'on' to 'AVAIL' when the APU is up and running.

Turn on the crew Oxygen supply, no smoking and Emergency Exit lights, turn on the Nav and Logo light, Tell GSX your ready to load and sit back and watch this fantastic combination do its thing, Catering vehicles, Fuel Truck and Baggage and passenger loading and boarding, upon completion flick the seat belts to on and turn the beacon on the A107 panel and GSX will push you back ready for taxiing, whilst the pre started APU will get your engines to AVAIL in a couple of minutes, then kill the APU.

Once free of the tug, switch the nose light to Taxi, Strobe to Auto and taxi out to your departure runway. The GSX cabin crew will confirm the cabin is ready for take off.

Turning on to the run way, on goes the Run way turn light, nose light goes from taxi to Take off, and turn lights go off and role up to the take off threshold, brakes applied, throttle to half, allow the engine to level out start the dash chrono throttles to flex, release the brakes and your off, dum, dum, dum, dum down the centre line and rotate, gear up with once a positive climb is confirmed. The daylights fading, nose lights to off, wing lights on, quick check that the strobe and beacon lights are on, BAT 1 and BAT 2 showing at 28.8 VOLTS, climb out to flight level 010 and take the seat belt signs off, and enjoy.
