Host side software is not mandatory, but it will definitely improve user experience because rotation acceleration is implemented on host PC side
more important is software is open source, it is written in Lua. you need FlyWithLua installed on X-Plane

although QGMC710 is born for Hotstart TBM-900, it is not limited to TBM-900. it is plug-and-play USB HID device like your keyboard.
so it supports all aircraft you can imagine, and it supports not only for X-Plane, DCS, P3D, FSX etc should work fine as well
