Thank you Tom, I was looking specifically for that info! Very usefull to complete a DME arc, mantaining that value in 0, as we should mantain a deffine distance to the VOR
Also remember, that DME distance is “Slant range”, the distance along a piece of string from the aircraft to the DME antenna which would be farther (longer) then the GPS distance would display.
Which explains why the number decreases as one nears the antenna. As the distance reaches its nadir (won't go to 0 unless the plane is at the altitude of the transmitter) the speed should momentarily go to 0 just for an instant before it starts increasing. Just for fun, I'll see if I can spot it doing that.
Love the video! I have it coming in! (P.S. little pilot tip) If you wanna fly strait in level in that Cessna keep the mixture rich and throttle down to about 2300 rpms and trim out and light grip and it flies like a charm
10:02 a few moments later when you zoom in, on the altitude you have very similar number. If you look at the moment before you zoom out you will see that the display have delay, but it just matched the last altitude value.
Good video blimey they have making these radios for years and you could discuss the telephone book and make it interesting .. if they still had telephone books.
I noticed when I tuned the asos with this while I was on live weather it didn’t give me the same info that I got when I clicked on the airport icon on the var map. It was about three hours old.
Great videos as always! Would be great if Logitech got these working t=with the Xbox. Surely it can't be that difficult to create an interface - similar to what Honeycomb have done for their Alpha XPC yoke & throttle quadrant. Wonder if something could be done with a raspberry Pi or similar. Guess it would just be a translation from logitech output to ascii key or similar, so it could be mapped. Unless Xbox could do something.
James. IM Flying here. Great video as always. Question: Thinking about changing from the logitech yoke system to the velocity one yoke system. Do you know if these logitech panels { I have 3 of them- radio, multi and switch) will work with the velocity one yoke system? Thankyou.
A stupid question but, for example when you set an squak code but then you swtich to the dme section, the squak code remains the same ? And thats the same for the other sections?
Focus in on your actual aircraft's NAV/Comms numbers and you'll see that you can get that third digit up in the sim - it just doesn't display on the physical Logitech Radio Panel. @@manuelberzen671
My XPDR is not matching 1:1 in the sim. I seemingly get random numbers in the sim compared to what's on the Logitech panel. Anyone else having this issue?
Old timers: when you are flying on victor airways, it’s roughly the ground speed. When you have both TAS and ground speed, you roughly know the headwind or tailwind component enroute for better fuel plan.
Hi, did you have to do any setting to ADF to work? I have the same radio panel and when tried to change the ADF like you did and it would not move or adjust. So any ideas?
That number is the speed relative to the DME antenna. If you fly parallel to the transmitter (DME) the speed will be 0. ATP RW
Brilliant thanks Tom!

This is a very cool panel indeed. I can see I'm going to be using this a lot, especially when dealing AI or VATsim ATC. Thanks. :)
Let us know how you get on with your Radio Panel.

Another brilliant addition - thanks again Tom.

Something like ground distance and air distance??
@@rtenharmsen8424 I would use the terms ground distance and slant distance.
Cool, will take a watch later as Amazon has just delivered mine 👌
Perfect timing! ;)

Very helpful. I don't recall those functions being explained in Logitech/Saitek enclosures
No that's why I thought I'd make this video; I couldn't find this info anywhere else.
10:02 a few moments later when you zoom in, on the altitude you have very similar number. If you look at the moment before you zoom out you will see that the display have delay, but it just matched the last altitude value.
Any inconsistency is likely down to my shoddy editing skills 😁
can you change the altimeter setting? awesome video! thanks for sharing!
You can do that with the Multi Panel.

It's a market waiting with open arms.
@@Huddison if only I had the technical know how. This could be a good money earner for someone.

Yes they will all work fine (on PC MSFS of course). I often use my panels and Rudder Pedals with my V1F.
A stupid question but, for example when you set an squak code but then you swtich to the dme section, the squak code remains the same ?
And thats the same for the other sections?
Just tested it and the Squawk code remained the same (you can double check this in the aircraft you're flying).
Have the panel since today, love it, but how to solve the problem with the missing 3rd digit for some nav frequencys (5)? 😢
It'll show in the sim, but not on the actual panel; all works as should though.
But can you use it for vatsim and simply ignore the 3rd digit? Or is it necessary to manually set it in the sim?
Focus in on your actual aircraft's NAV/Comms numbers and you'll see that you can get that third digit up in the sim - it just doesn't display on the physical Logitech Radio Panel. @@manuelberzen671
Yes, I know thanks. but I'm asking myself whether I can do vatsim with the radio panel or do I always have to re set the .xx5 in the simulator
You can set it via the knob/s on the Radio Panel, but will have to reference the digit change in the sim itself. @@manuelberzen671
can't get working on PA28 Warrior. It's because the analogic?
That's difficult for me properly comment on this one, as I don't own the PA28 - does it have autopilot functionality?
Does the Logitech G Saitek Pro Flight Radio Panel also work with aircrafts other than the Cessna, such as airliners, boeing, etc.?
Yes, I use it in the 146, A320 and Concorde with no issues.
My XPDR is not matching 1:1 in the sim. I seemingly get random numbers in the sim compared to what's on the Logitech panel. Anyone else having this issue?
Is that in specific aircraft?
@@Huddison The Bombardier Challenger 350 in this case. I will test other aircraft to see if the same thing occurs.
hi, what does speed relative to the dme mean? Thanks
Not fully sure what you mean there, can you elaborate?
Old timers: when you are flying on victor airways, it’s roughly the ground speed. When you have both TAS and ground speed, you roughly know the headwind or tailwind component enroute for better fuel plan.
Hi, did you have to do any setting to ADF to work? I have the same radio panel and when tried to change the ADF like you did and it would not move or adjust. So any ideas?
What aircraft are you trying it in?
@@Huddison Cessna 172 and Beech Baron 58
@@davidedel31 Did you install the drivers? My original review video for the Radio Panel might help (linked at the start of this video).
DME SPEED ? :D
Could be!
Mine is mostly for 'cockpit look/aesthetic as I rarely use hands-on radio panel eh :)
