Title: Is this price real?

$220 for 2 rotary switches and a single on/off/on switch...

Someone must be making a lot of cash from that!

Cheers

Yes, seems to be real but there is more to it than that,.. You have the USB interface that allows it to work in FS.. Not just the switch panel.

It does seem a lot, when you put it like that!

Perhaps if the ENG START switches automatically went back to OFF!

I thought perhaps at first they could be auto off..............  if they are then that feature is well hidden...
I suppose a usb interface does bump up any production costs  ;)

I would think they would make a big deal out of return-to-off function if it actually did it. That's a lot of money for two rotary switches, a toggle and a USB interface if the switches don't return to off.
