    YES! More stuff for us computer inept folks.
    For many of us, these initial setup steps make an intimidating barrier to getting into the world of sims.
    Step by steps can even help those who are savvy. Thanks for this, and hope for more.

    Thank you Froogle Pete!! Using that, as a guide, I have got the latest Logitech "improved" Switch panel and the equally "improved" Software working on FSX-SE.
    Logitech are singularly unhelpful on their website, I have spent several days researching, writing unanswered letters getting nowhere, UNTIL!!!
    I remembered YOU.
    Logitech is using their own handlers and assignments for the Switch Panel, I can live with that, I would MUCH prefer to use FSUIPC, but needs must when the devil drives!!
    Thanks for the insights!!
    Bob
    PS
    After a week, I am quite used to the Switch panel, and have started reassigning the switches on the two thottle quadrants to other things. The Mag/start switch works on any twin, but wouldnt start a DC6 engines. More testing on 4 engined stuff.
    Dropping the LogiFlightSimX.exe directly into the XP-11 plugins folder works nicely.

    is there a version of this, or something like this that is more up to date. At approx 4:30 it suggests editing exe.xml in appdata. No such file exists in my new installation.

    @supertweetman1 9 лет назад

    Hi ,thank you again for your most professional vids. Sadly for me this one did not work (I am sure it is my issue as it works for everyone else). I added what you added to the FSX SE folder as you clearly showed. Not only did it not work my panels in STEAM but also stopped them working in classic FSX.
    I will keep playing but may come back with more queries. Keep up the great work.
    Kind regards

    Froogle I recommend totally removing the Saitek drivers and just use the SPAD drivers then use Linda for configuring the switches and knobs. It work well for advance aircraft addons like PMDG, Coolsky and Aerosoft.

    @harpoon_bakery162 3 года назад

    Saitek radio panels are very laggy even after the MS update to new version of 2020. The panels work great in X-Plane, i'm using LORBY to connect to the panels. I don't see any driver programs loaded on my PC with the description of "Sai....." or "Log....." in add/remove programs or in Task-Manager , so i don't know how it's working in x-plane but it must just be a plug-in only ..... So, LORBY could be the cause you think, or what? Thanks for any suggestions!!! When I say Laggy, If i turn one of the silver dials the radio display (LED) takes a few seconds to even move and sometimes doesn't move at all. Somethings very weird. Like i said, X-PLANE 11 is just perfect and dials respond nicely.

    This worked to get my Saitek Instrument panel working, but my switch panel is not working. However the ignition switch works. No lights, power, etc. I tested it. Works fine. Worked with original fsx.
    I'm using FSX-steam. I have installed FSUIPC and that is now worthless. Wasn't before. When I calibrate throttle, or mixture it gives 2 settings: almost completely in or almost completely out. nothing outside or in between. Seems to treat it like a button. I did not have this problem before in FSX boxed. This is 4.393u version.

    Apologies Froogle, re my question below about no exe file in prepar 3D well I simply copied the complete folder exe file from my FSX exe file and pasted it into App Data>Roaming>Lockheed Martin>Prepar 3D and Bingo all my panels are working and I have now got an exe folder in Prepar 3D. Just made a test flight in Prepar 3D and everything seems to be working.

  • @LifeInTechnicolor11
    @LifeInTechnicolor11 7 лет назад +1

    Hi froogle,
    Not sure if you're aware but OrbX have finally release updated OrbX libraries so that FSX-SE & Prepar3d are now supported. No more ObjectFlow.dll errors.
    I've tested it in FSX-SE and it works like a charm. Now just awaiting the ASN update.

  • @Jay-Ryan
    @Jay-Ryan 9 лет назад

    Alternatively for complex aircraft, one might benefit from using the profile editor to bind switches and buttons to key mappings as a work around. It's not perfect and I've had mixed results, but I bet someone with a bit more knowledge and a lot more patience than I could make it all work.

    After trying almost everything I came across this video. Great! Worked like a charm and thank you
    Unfortunately that was a couple of years ago. An upgrade messed everything and I had to format my machine
    Now I can't find the drivers (Madcatz??)
    Would you have the link where I can download from? I can find the plugins but not software. Its a Saitek switch panel
    Many thanks

    Froogle! sorry for hijacking a video about something completely different. But i wonder if you have tried OpusFSI in prepar3d. The newer updates of Opus and using it in Prepar3d looks just fantastic, also since i had alot of problems with ezdok in p3d i have alot of use of the cameras in opus, also the turbulence effects from those cameras are amazing, mostly since they dont just shake around all the time but reacts to turbulence inserted by the weather engine. Don't know why i ramble on about this but im just interested in your take on it, and if you haven't tried it lately you should!
    Also, i love your videos, they got me in to Flightsims 2 years ago and i love it.
    Cheers!

    • @petewright9626

    Very good and imformative video. The file renaming stopped the error pop up message, which is great. I am still having problems with getting my Saitek switch panel to work, though. I do not have FSX installed, and am running a clean install of P2D version 2.5 on Windows 8.1 . The panel tests out fine using the testing program. I have reinstalled the drivers multiple times and am running all programs as administrator. I have tried using the exe.xml file as you nicely demonstrated, and also loading the saipanels.exe manually. I have GoFlight modules working very well and many other Saitek products like yoke, TPM, pedals, trim wheel. Only the Switch panel is not working. Any thoughts, anyone?

  • @kieranreidd
    @kieranreidd 9 лет назад

    Hi froogle, i know you work with saitek alot and i was just wobdering is it posdible that saitek will make their panel drivets conpatible with pmdg and other addon aircraft? I am one of many people who struggle to get them to work

    • @frooglesim
      @frooglesim  9 лет назад

      Krei23 It's not really a Saitek thing to make them compatible. The aircraft that have problems use custom program that in many instance bypasses the default FSX way of doing things. The panels on the other hand work with the default and standard FSX way of doing things. You can work around the problem by installing SPAD drivers - these are custom third party drivers that offer you a level of programmability on the panels enabling you to tweak their operation to work with trickier aircraft.

    Logitech switch panel (formally known as Saitek switch panel) still not working!!!
    But I returned it and got a refund, Logitech is one of the worst customer service ever, they are losing customers after they bought the flight sim set from Saitek!
