Saitek switch panel

[Daveroo]

do any of you use it?..mine will work fully with some planes,but not others,even with the same company (Carenado / alabeo).im going to use FSUIPC to set up all of my controller's,will the switch panel show up?...i mean the switches...

I use it with P3D, works great.
However, with some specially coded aircraft, e.g. those that simulate pressureless valve operations of the landing gear like A2A p47D, the gear lever does not work, for instance. Same with flaps.
But this is not a shortcoming of the panel, it is just another mode of operation.

I don't have any of Saitek's panels, but recall that you need to use the SPAD driver instead of Saitek's software to get the panels to work with most payware Add-ons.

You might want to look in to that.

Hello,
no any problems with advanced aircraft too... if You use a FSUiPC (full version) and SPAD drivers:



I used SPAD drivers for all my panels since years and they are better than stock of Saitek.

Here example how to set up (on Comanche 250 a2A for example) :

You can do every DEDICATED profile for EVERY plane and drivers will load it automatically.

Ahh, OK, Yoyo, thanks. I shall have a look at that. I also use SPAD from the beginning.
The whole setup works so flawless that I never bothered to look after the two non-functions with some of the A2A planes.
