That Flight Sim Channel Reviews the Rowsfire B107 B737 Overhead Panel
Unboxing — first impressions
That Flight Sim Channel received one of the very first B107 units shipped for review, in late March 2026.
From the moment he opened the box, the packaging stood out — "already the packaging feels a little bit better in comparison to their Airbus boxes." Inside: a braided USB-C cable with an orange interior for easy identification, the overhead panel manual, and a dedicated dust cover bag — a first for Rowsfire. As he put it: "This is a perfect solution. If you're going to get rid of the box, this is ideal."
Then came the panel itself.
"Holy heck, she is heavy. Wow. Wow. Wow. Take a look, guys. That is beautiful."

What That Flight Sim Channel loved — the highlights
The EGT gauge — the detail that defines the B107
Of everything on the panel, the EGT gauge was That Flight Sim Channel's most-discussed feature — and for good reason. Before the B107 was finalized, Rowsfire reached out directly to ask what the community most wanted to see. The answer from That Flight Sim Channel and Captain Flaco was clear: an APU exhaust gas temperature gauge that actually moves.
"Are you serious, dude? This is what excites you? Yes. I love minor details because it shows you that Rowsfire is paying attention."

The gauge needle rises in real time as the APU spools up, falls as it cools — mirroring the behavior of the real aircraft instrument. It's the kind of detail that distinguishes a purpose-built sim peripheral from a generic button box.
Why the B107 matters — finally, a 737 overhead
That Flight Sim Channel has covered the Airbus sim hardware market extensively on his channel — and he's been vocal about the imbalance. Fenix, Toliss, FBW, the default Neo in MSFS 2024 — "the market is very, very saturated with Airbus software and hardware."
The B107 changes that. For PMDG 737 and iFly 737 MAX pilots, there has been nothing like it. A physical overhead panel that covers cold-and-dark startup, exterior lighting, fuel management, bleed air, pressurisation, and system monitoring — all in one unit, all connected to the sim in real time.
"I love that now we have this fresh feeling of finally having these type of peripherals for a 737 instead of again that saturated Airbus market."

His honest notes — what he mentioned
That Flight Sim Channel tested a pre-production demo unit. He mentioned two items — both acknowledged and addressed.
Pressurisation display windows — The cruise altitude and landing field elevation readout windows were not updating on the physical panel despite the knobs communicating correctly with the sim. This is a MobiFlight profile mapping issue, not a hardware fault, and has been resolved in the current firmware and profiles.
Left probe heat switch — The switch was not communicating correctly with the PMDG aircraft on the demo unit. This was identified as a pre-production assembly issue. It has been fully resolved in all production units shipping today.
Despite both items, his overall verdict was unambiguous:
"If you make that purchase with Rowsfire or the B107, you will be satisfied."
