Can't get logitech switch panel to work

[SimPilotRick]

I, have a both the latest versions of MSFS and X-Plane 12.

My Logitech switch panel works well in MSFS 2020 with no issue at all. It was immediately recognized and controls everything (for the plane that can use it) like it should. But X-Plane 12 does not even recognize it. I downloaded the latest drivers from Logitech and even the suggested X-Plane 11 drivers, the issue is with X-plane. is there a work around or am I doing something wrong?

Yes. There is a free plugin on forums.x-plane.org called xsaitekpanels and there are many profiles for various aircraft available.

I tried all this it still won't work for me I'm sure it's because I'm using Windows 11 and the drivers are not compatible with it yet.

These panels are not configurable in the hardware/controller settings. You should have a plugin menu item. And when loading an aircraft, power it up and switching on the avionics master switch, things should come to live. If it works on Fs2020 then it should on XP12.

I wouldn't use the XP11 plugin as it may conflict with the xseitekpanels plugin. The latter one is actively developed and open source, the former isn't.

My suggestion is to first try it with the default cessna. I've got the switch panel, the radio panel and the multi panel and all work perfectly with xseitekpanels.

You can also use spad.next its a payware software, but the better option is use xsaitekpanels, with zibo 737 works perfectly, i have the tree panels working on xplane 11 & 12.

You need to use Axis And Ohs or SPAD.neXt for 8.33 kHz spacing to show. Also ensure that whatever radio the aircraft has supports 8.33 kHz spacing.
