Is there a plugin for the saitek panel that I can use with MSFS?
Yes, it’s available on the Logitech website. Google Logitech Switch Panel drivers and it’ll bring you to where you want to go.
A better solution is Spad.Next.

I have spad next. I am looking for a simpler solution.
Well you are right. It’s not simple.
Lorby’s Axis and Ohs also supports FIPs but I haven’t used it myself yet so I cannot comment on the complexity. It is on my todo list to try it.
To be fair, its not difficult either when you work out how things work.
There is a library of profiles created by other users, that you can browser from right in the app, to download for a variety of planes. You can dig through the config to see how they work, which is how I learned how to use it effectively.
You can also upload your own for others to use.
I agree with you. Have used it for many years on x-plane 11 and now on MSFS. It is not difficult but not simply a driver which I think is what the OP is looking for. I highly recommend Spad.Next.
Thanks for the reply. Mostly, I am having a problem with the switch panel for the Kodiak 100. I am trying to work on fixing switches that are not working.
Which swiches aren’t working for you? I couldn’t get all of them to work, if memory serves.
All the switches work, but having a problem with strobe, landing lights, fuel and deice not working. Also the start switches not working. This concerns only the Kodiak 100, I am using spad.next to configure the switches.
Do the profiles also include configs for saitek panels?
Yes, that’s primarily what SPAD started as I believe, but then expanded.
Hello everybody,
I’m here with a problem with my Logitech switch panel and I would like to know if anyone has had this problem and if there is some way to solve it.
I have the latest driver installed (8.0.313.0) but the switch panel is not recognized in the game, it works if i click on the switches, but I can’t map what I want because it doesn’t appear in the control options.
Any clue?
Thank you guys!
This is by design, the panels are not recognized by the sim natively.
If you want to customize the buttons and control you would need to use an external program like Spad, Axis and Oh’s, etc…
Hi @skypilotYTS thank you so much for your answer ![]()
So the only way to customize the Saitek switch panel is using a 3rd party app right?
Do you know any app that is free?
It’s sad that the switch panel is like this, my honeycomb bravo its possible to customize it directly in flight simulator.
I don’t know of any personally as I just have the radio’s and the AP panel which all work as is.
I use SPADNEXT. It supports all saitek hardware.
