United StatesMy new GFC 500
I am impressed by the look and feel of the GFC 500 device. However, I have some issues with its use in X-plane 12. It does not appear to be supported by all the default aircraft. I cannot get it to work with my favorite addon the Just Flight TB20 plane which is the real plane I own and fly. I have noted a tendency for it to suddenly disconnect in flight for no apparent reason. The documentation for its use is not particularly helpful and a detailed manual would be helpful. Overall nice piece of equipment but several bugs need to be addressed.

Very user friendly to make it work
I accept that different people have different expectations of, and experiences with, products. I have been buying bits of flight sim kit for 15 years. I have never bought complex kit that was easier to set up than Realsimgear. The guide are thorough and step by step (whilst occasionally they could use an update). Flash the firmware, install the right software for your simulator and rock on. Its true that there's been a recent issue with an MSFS update but the company responded quickly to an issue that wasn't of their making. Also- the dispatch time and communication are first rate.
