Saitek Flight Panels

Click the Systray icon down next to your clock - you should have one that looks like the BIP.

Click it and then click Profile Editor. In there click the Programming tab at the top and then just drag and drop the button labels as you have them laid out on your physical BIP.


Once you’ve done that it should work fine.

Nada, no such icon.

Okay, got it! Seems there was a conflict with the X52 driver I had installed yesterday to see if that was it (since removed). I had never looked in the tray after plugging in the Saitek devices, at least since hooking up all of my flight gear again after several years of not flying.

I must have forgotten those steps along with many other things. O.L.D.

Thanks so much @Tr1cky

Great news.
Thanks.

Has anyone gotten the Logitech Radio Panel to work with the A320NX? I am able to get the radio panel to light up, but I cannot get COMs to switch frequency.

I am able to get it to work on other aircraft…

Help?

Can’t help there. I only fly GA. But Tr1cky says a patch will be out by the end of the week.
Maybe that will address your problem.

Do you mind loading up into the A320 and see if you can switch the COM1?

I find that if I switch the standby COM1 in the A320 with my mouse, it will update correctly on the radio panel, but the other way around does not work (my Radio panel does not change the frequency in the plane).

@Tr1cky is this issue I’m describing the same issue you describe above that you are unable to fix? (requires an update on Asobo’s side)?

Yes, that’s something Asobo will need to fix. The plug-in is sending the correct commands to SimConnect, as you can see with other aircraft.

I have installed Spad.Next demo, but it is impossible to stop the double step of the Multi Panel e.g. altitude goes up 200ft per detent, but occasionally jumps to an odd/even value.

Even programming 50ft steps in Spad.Next does not help.

The Saitek radio panel was bought last year - rubbish or poorly supported I think!

It sounds like your unit has an issue. I thought you were going to replace some components on it though? Did that not happen?

Yes, but I haven’t had time yet. But rain is forecast for a few days, so never say never! :grinning:

All the best.

Hi All,

As promised here’s the link to the latest version of the plug-in.

Key updates (all for the Radio Panel):

  • Fixes the DME/ADF/XPDR flashing issue.
  • Implements Active and Standby ADF*
  • You can change the DME to display DME1 or 2 by pressing the Active/Standby button.

*One note regarding the ADF: now that we’ve done this it has highlighted the fact that a number of aircraft in MSFS update the Active ADF rather than the Standby ADF. This has been reported to Asobo, but if you’re noticing it too then please report through Zendesk, noting which aircraft you have tried it in.

Great!
Now my switch panel does not work, At all. Worked fine before.

I am lost now. If I have just the switch panel, what do I do?

Haha. I am really growing to like you!
Thanks for this.

That is very strange. Have you restarted the PC? Unplugged/replugged the Switch Panel whilst in the cockpit?

No. didn’t touch a thing om the PC

Only prior to running the sim. I uninstalled the old driver reinstalled the new one. re-booted the computer, Started the sim

Okay, so if you now try unplugging/replugging the panel whilst in the cockpit, does that wake it up? If not, then does trying another USB port help?

If it still isn’t working then we can check to see if the plug-in is running.

Start the sim, then bring up a command line, navigate to the c:\Program Files\Logitech\Microsoft Flight Simulator Plugin folder then run LogiMicrosoftFlightSimulator.exe -p

This will bring up a splash window that tells you the status of the plug in - it will tell you the plug-in and DirectOutput status. It will also tell you the location of the SimConnect.ini and exe.xml files. If it says both the plug-in and DirectOutput are running then there should be no issue - try unplugging the panels and reconnecting them. If it says that the Plug-in is not running then that’s the issue. In which case try running LogiMicrosoftFlightSimulator.exe -r from the command line and see if that brings the panels up.

Not used to navigating a command line? No problem.

Click Start, type cmd and press return to bring up a command prompt window. It will probably be showing C:\users\yourname.

Type cd.. (that’s just two full stops - for some reason this forum insists on adding a third when I print two full stops in a row) and press return. Do that again to get it to show C:\

Now type cd press space, then keep pressing the Tab key on your keyboard until you see Program Files, then press return

Type cd and press space again and keep pressing Tab until you see Logitech - press return

Type cd and press space again, keep pressing Tab until you see Microsoft Flight Simulator Plugin - press return

Press Tab until you see LogiMicrosoftFlightSimulator.exe, press space and add -p to the end then press return.

That should give you a splash page showing the details of the plugin status and telling you whether it’s running or not. Is it? If not then you can close the dialog, press the up arrow to bring the last typed command up, delete the -p and replace it with -r and press return to start the plug-in.

Download xml named exe and put it in this path.
I hope it works for you.

Thanks so much Tr1cky.

As soon as I get home from work, I will follow your instructions.

Really appreciate your efforts.

I have just tried your instructions, I’m running Windows Pro 10 2004 October Update and this is what I found.
If you run “cmd” it puts you in the administrator level , cd to C:\ , pressing Tab after you are in C:\ it will get you to \Program Files, if you keep pressing Tab, it will get you to >Logitech, (notice that there is no backslash)after you press return again, the program tells you that such command does not exist.
If you use the cd to get to the Microsoft Flight Simulator Plugin Folder, next cd command tells you “access denied”.
That is not all, if you use Powershell , it tells you that -p could be several different meanings and shut you off with an error.
Something is different in the command shell?
I install the latest Plugin for Logitech but at this moment I have no way to run the -p or -r modifier
