Nice video. Remember, always start aircraft before turning on any avionics or radios :-) I would recommend looking up a checklist for the aircraft you fly on the sim. You will find the switch panels way more interactive. The 172 for instance will have a pre start checklist, after start, run up, line up etc. you will love the switch panel way more.
I have same setup minus the extra quadrant all setup with a set of triple 32inch curved monitors enclosed in a cardboard box cockpit, Fun indeed for this old man. Happy Xmas.
Nice review, I have been flying with those three Saitek panels since they first came out plus a Twin throttle housing and one Saitek Flight Instrument Panel which is a multi instrument you can set, I have mine set as the Altimeter, but you can choose it to be any instrument or purchase extra ones to build a complete instrument panel. My favourite is the Multi Panel with the complete working AP a Auto Throttle, Pitch Trim Wheel and Flaps Lever. They all lock together I have a set up one above the other then the same fastened to the side which gives you an almost complete cockpit, A quick and easy way to make a fully functioning cockpit.
I'll be unwrapping this setup on Christmas morning from my better half :) Can't wait, like a kid at Christmas lol. Nice vid, thanks and Merry Christmas 🎄🎄
Thanks for the review, sure hope they can bring this or something similar out for us on Xbox. Hope your feeling better soon and have yourself a very Merry Christmas and happy New Year.
I have the complete system, including the rudder pedals. am very satisfied with it. ou show in the video that there is a sliht delay in the yoke. i solved this bij mounting a Leo Bodnar BU0638A. PCB in the Yoke unit. Then there is no more delay and the yoke system works just like all other brands. Various videos can be found on You Tube for the assembly.
Not quite all the panels... there's the little instruments too... Edit: There's 3rd party 3d printed wedges to angle the throttles to a more comfortable angle. Those are great.
What; no flight instrument panels; I got 3 so I can see guauges better than cockpit view . I kept my radio and multipanel to go with my Alpha and Bravo. I sold my logitech Yoke and throttle and switch panel for $150 bucks eh! Recover well; I got COVID after having a pacemaker installed last week; with vaccine only 'down' a few days from the covid; feeling way better now.
MSFS 20 is in my future. Are there 'Profiles' in game for individual aircraft controls? So you set profiles on the quad for single, twin engine configurations? Thanks!
I picked these up in a 2nd hand bundle awaiting my PC upgrade...but ...mine are all Saitek. I'm guessing the internals are the same and just a brand name changed following the buy out ???? 🤔 p.s. great vids
Hi there. Hope you are feeling better by now. I too had a brief with Covert. Have you had any problems with the radio panel or the multi panel? I have heard of problems and no support from Saitek/Logitech. What has your experience? I have the Throttle Quadrant, pedals, yoke, and Air Manager for gauges and am considering the Radio and Multi panels. Also is one Radio panel enough? Some people have two or three. Thanks so much for the video.
All recovered now thanks Jay. I find one radio panel is enough, but it's a preference thing. I haven't reached out to Logitech for support, but I've not heard the greatest things about them.
@@Huddison I got enough Christmas money to buy the Radio and Multi panels. Basically my sim is just for the Cessna. Once I learn to fly and the basics of radios and navigation I intend to build a 737 simulator. Have a bunch of parts 3D printed using Karl at SIM plans and STL files.
It's effectively a USB hub: so you can hypothetically power your Multi/Radio panels etc, with it. It's not something I've done (as of yet) and heard lots of issues using it that way.
On Starting at 5:40 Before turning the RUN SWITCH to START, Don't U have Push Mixture Full Rich Prop Full Forward and Crack the Throttle Before the Engine Will start? U know like the FULL Scale (REAL C-172) With 180 HP w/Constant Speed Prop? Just asking?
@@Huddison The 172RG is a Skyhawk with a 180hp engine, constant speed prop and retractable landing gear. This aircraft qualifies under the FAA's guidance as a complex aircraft. Just saying Bro
I do Hope The Honey Comb Alpha Bravo Throttle Quadrant works with MSFS 2020 SU 11 me Logictech single Throttle Quadrant has gone wrong so time to go for the whole thing and Get the Alpha Bravo Quadrant
I've only had my panels one day. Had to download that Logitch plugin to get them working. Just today, my switch panel has started acting like alt-F4 when I turn the mag switch to start. LOL Sim drops right out. And one of the buttons now pulls carb heat. It's all messed up. Don't recall the sim updating, though. Have you had this issue?
I don't use my switch Panel nowadays, as the Honeycomb XPC Yoke has these built into it. It might be worth enquiring about this on our Discord: discord.gg/5dsv4d2tEQ
your right about the usb hubs they don't work as they are suppose to. now on to another problem with the flight yoke not working in MSFS but in the control panel testing it is fine, but when i go into the game and try testing the surface movements before take off, nothing moves. have you heard any complaints regarding this and if so have you heard of any fix.
DO you have anything showing for the yoke surfaces in Controls options? Our Discord is a great place to share your setup pics so that we can help better.
I have issues getting the panels to work. I have the same panels as you do but when I plug them into the Yoke only one works. I have downloaded the drivers but still cannot get it to work. Do you need to have the AC adapter to make it work like that? Or do you have to plug them into dedicated USB ports on the computer itself?
Hey quick question. I have purchased 2 logitech throttles for use with multi engine ga aircraft. I can't seem to setup the throttles as seperate inputs in msf2020 whatever I set on 1 thrtottle quad seems to carry over to the second as well for some reason? Any ideas why they seems to use the same input even though they are different devices?
Hi everyone, big question from a noob, how do you power all of those Logitech components? Having the hardest time to power Flight Instrument Panel on my Alienware Aurora R12 with either USB 2.0ports (tried USB extension cord and added a powered USB 2.0 Hub) or USB 3.x ports. I only get the Flight Instrument Panel to flash the upper arrow in the front, that it. No issues with the Flight Yoke, Flight Switch Panel or the Flight Throttle Quadrant. But if I plug the Flight Instrument Panel to the Flight Yoke then I get a message that not enough power.. Any hints are welcomed.
Hmm, they seem to all work with my Gigabyte G5 Laptop, using a USB extension hub. Might be best joining our Discord (linked in description) and showing us the error messages etc.
@@Huddison Good news! uninstalled all Logitech apps, disconnected all Logitech gear. reinstalled apps including Flight Panel Driver, plugged back the gear and voila! everything works now including the Flight Panel. All gear is connected to a USB 2.0 powered hub which in turn is connected to USB 2.0 Extender Cable to my PC. Unplugged everything and plugged it back again and all works! Logitech wasn’t much help as their support email/chat is kind of overwhelmed.
My first comment since joining. it hink I made a mistake by including the logitech flight switch panel with my Velocity one yoke. It came up an error asking if I wanted to get a new controller. I am using msfs in my PC and wanted to get the radio and nav contros so that I don't have to use the mouse to000000000000000000001turn frequencies on, Any suggestions
The Switch Panel should work fine with the velocity one. What else do you have connected to your PC & did you install the logitech all-in-one drivers for the panel?
Thanks, I have been using your suggestions mostly. I think I might not have downloaded the right download. Their website is a bit messy. I will try to rectify this because using the mouse to try to is not rewarding. Thanks for your tips and I am really impressed with all the work you put into your videos@@Huddison
I have the 2nd Logitech throttle quadrant but both MSFS & XPlane don't recognize it. Both have a green LED so getting power. Any idea what I need to do ?
@@Huddison Thanks, I've tried everything I can think of. I notice the green LED on controller 2 is dimmer than the main quadrant. Is yours the same ? Maybe it's a USB power issue ? I've tried swapping out ports till I'm blue in the face.
@@Huddison I've finally figured it out. Seems as though all the throttle controls from quadrant 1 are assigned to my saitek yoke, the 2nd quadrant is separate but working ok. Weird, but I'm getting somewhere.

This video was perfect for you then ;) Enjoy your presents and have a great Christmas 🤶🎅
I've now gotten the Switch Panel to work. Just ordered the Multi Panel (on sale @ Amazon) .
Thanks for the review, sure hope they can bring this or something similar out for us on Xbox.
Hope your feeling better soon and have yourself a very Merry Christmas and happy New Year.
Thanks Wally. I'm surprised that no company has developed similar products for Xbox MSFS yet; they would sell out.

Great video mate & sorry to hear you have COVID right on Christmas, but Merry Christmas & a great New year to you & all the viewers ⛄🎄⛄🎄
Thanks and the same to you 🌲

Edit: There's 3rd party 3d printed wedges to angle the throttles to a more comfortable angle. Those are great.
Thanks for the info.
no need to wrap it just send it propperly packaged lol and Happy Christmas .
Happy Christmas Mike.
Hope your feeling better my friend 🎉
Fully recovered now thanks 😉
Open question, does anyone know where I could purchase an LPS AC adapter to power the Flight Yoke USB hub?
What; no flight instrument panels; I got 3 so I can see guauges better than cockpit view . I kept my radio and multipanel to go with my Alpha and Bravo. I sold my logitech Yoke and throttle and switch panel for $150 bucks eh!

Good to hear ken - stay healthy.

You'll need to define these yourself.

Yes they are all pretty much the same as far as I know.
Where do you get the extra throttles❤
They are fairly cheap to buy on Ebay.

Thank you
Most welcome!
Huddison, I have an off subject
question for you, what are the 3 usb slots on the Saitek flight yoke for?
It's effectively a USB hub: so you can hypothetically power your Multi/Radio panels etc, with it.
It's not something I've done (as of yet) and heard lots of issues using it that way.

The C-172 only has Mixture and that was full in.
@@Huddison The 172RG is a Skyhawk with a 180hp engine, constant speed prop and retractable landing gear. This aircraft qualifies under the FAA's guidance as a complex aircraft. Just saying Bro
At 4:12 U mention a USB PORT and the setup takes up % USB Ports. WHAT USB HUB are U Using PLZ. What Lap Top Too. Thanks.
USB 2's seem fine.
@@Huddison Is that a Multiple Port USB? URL where to Purchase PLZ.
I do Hope The Honey Comb Alpha Bravo Throttle Quadrant works with MSFS 2020 SU 11 me Logictech single Throttle Quadrant has gone wrong so time to go for the whole thing and Get the Alpha Bravo Quadrant
I think it'll work fine Mike.
The number of buttons and levers is OVER 9000! Jk. Happy Xmas everyone.
Lol 9000 sounds about right - have a fantastic Christmas my friend 🎅
Which laptop are you running this on?
I'm in debate on a Laptop or desktop
It's the Gigabyte G5 3060 RTX variant. I would advise going for a Desktop PC, as you get 'more bang for the buck' (power-wise).

I tried everything but couldn't get the Switch Panel to work. I have Wins 11 if that's the issue.
Not certain regarding Windows 11 and functionality; but you can ask on our Discord.
@@Huddison I lied -). I didn't try everything. Reboot the windows did the trick.
IAS, NAV, and APR not work in latest update FS2020 Any idea's? In test Mode works but when use flight sim not able to select button.
Do you have this driver installed? support.logi.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360024692354--Downloads-Flight-Multi-Panel
Do the control panels work with modern yoke systems such as te Turtle Beach?
Absolutely; I use the Radio panel often with my V1 Flight Yoke.

Happy Covid.... I hope it only felt like a man made cold.
I just need to win the lottery. LOL.
I sometimes feel guilty making these kind of videos. Hopefully you'll get your Flight-sim dream setup one day.
I have issues getting the panels to work. I have the same panels as you do but when I plug them into the Yoke only one works. I have downloaded the drivers but still cannot get it to work. Do you need to have the AC adapter to make it work like that? Or do you have to plug them into dedicated USB ports on the computer itself?
Plug them into dedicated USB ports on your PC, or via a USB hub.
Thanks! I’ll give it a shot
I'm having issues with the throttle on the throttle quadrant, any recommendations for fixing the settings in msf2020?
It depends what issues your encountering.
Does anyone know if the Logitech panels work out of the box because for the life of me I cannot find any config videos for it.
They work with the driver installed, linked in the description.
Hey quick question. I have purchased 2 logitech throttles for use with multi engine ga aircraft.

Is one of the throttled attached to your Logitech yoke, or are the both independent units?
I really do need to make a video on this.
Spad.Next might be your solution. It can control most peripherals including all Saitek. Several videos on YT about it.
