Saitek FIP functions (updated)

Saitek FIP

[@danhoven]

Many years later since the release of these, where the manufacturing costs have dropped at least 10x, yet, they're still the same price to buy. I got one today and will NOT be buying anymore. Much cheaper to buy or build a simple bezzle and get a cheap ipad. The gauges apps are MUCH larger definition. You can update the saitek/logitech graphic bmp files to get sharper, less cartoon looking gauges but you can't make the pixels of the screen smaller (obviously). This product has seen very small updates over the years and not worth the $150 they still sell for. Just having the words to the side all the time, with no way to hide them is why my solo one is going back. The animations are slow also, but again, these things are ancient now to where a basic Timex watch has more processing power.

[@albertoacevedo5465]

How make them work on windows 7 XPLANE 9.7?? Any advice welcome, thanks in advance

[@Test-Pilot1194]

On the box for these it show an rpm gauge. But it’s not on the panel when I cycle through? Also how do you get 2 gauges on 1 display. End of November I’m getting another 3, but only have 3 right now. Figured I could double them up? Thanks.

Hello, my HSI glideslope is not workin

[@francescoascalone9952]

Does it fit for x-plane for mac?

[@TheAvGeeKsOfficeAvinashbandaru]

Do we get six instruments or only 1 ?

[@nasrirbeizify]

Hello Michael,
I received my flight instrument panel and I am not sure if these work with flight SIM 2020. I downloaded the software and I am not able to view the instrument, any suggestion?
Thank you

[@xforcepc]

Requires a plug in and a driver. Did you do both?

[@nasrirbeizify]

@@xforcepc
I first downloaded the driver than I connected the USB to the computer restarted the computer start the flight simulator 2020 and nothing is happening with the instrument panel black screen.

[@sarareyesveracuenca8318]

​@@nasrirbeizify I have the same situation. My USB hub is 3.0.. can be the problem here? the hub would be 2.0 instead. I think..

[@admin.ChristianoGaio]

o meu nem liga, queria saber do driver que ele não é instalado e reconhecido

[@markneale2882]

Can somone help me please ? I have just brought one of these panels at a cost of £100 and the first thing i notice is there is NO DRIVER CD in the box ! I plugged in the USB & just as I feared nothing happens - the unit dose nothing ! Am I doing anything wrong ? I am so disjointed with this as I was looking forward to getting it working. Mark

[@icequake3]

You need to download the panel drivers from Logitech here-support.logitech.com/en_gb/product/flight-sim-instrument-panel/downloads#

[@joesmith6201]

You have to edit the registry of the usb it's plugged into.

[@cocoabean5917]

Im confused when you buy it do you get all thise instruments not the radio planesl and yoke i know but do you get the 6 instruments

[@adrianyourlordandsaviour]

Cocoa Bean wut

[@Hyestar]

where can I download easy to install guages.

[@Jacauj]

Did you ever figure it out ? Because I’ve been stuck here for a few days trying to find how the gauges work but I just can’t figure it out

[@Hyestar]

Jac Aujla I never did. I ended up just using the default gauges. The FIP is the most troublesome part of my home cockpit. Too bad it would have been great if they just made it more user friendly.

[@sebastiennudo7792]

At 250$CAD a pop they will keep their instruments panel unit...

[@posialuxuryretreatspa5041]

does it work with x-plane?

[@gavyndawson3907]

Yes

[@hrflikk]

Better to buy an esktra 1050 card for a instument monitor

[@officialvtuberrobijet]

Shure but the feeling is not the same

[@hrflikk]

To expensive!

[@officialvtuberrobijet]

Yes they really are
