Saitek Pro Flight Instrument Panel?

[Dave JB]

I've got all my other Saitek panels working except the Pro Flight Instrument Panels

Don't tell me to use FSUIPC or Spad, they only work with all the other Saitek panels, neither help in getting the Pro Flight Instrument Panels working. I've searched all the posts and did find a reference from someone stating there is an answer to fixing the Pro Flight Instrument Panels but I'm dammed if I can find a fix. Is there a fix? if so how?

Any help would be helpfull ..... please.... :)

I'm able to run all saitek hardware (radio, multi panel, switch panel, instrument panels x6) without SPAD. Never used SPAD in fact. Latest FSUIPC is required though.

Follow this:

And make sure you do the same procedure for SaiFlightSimX.exe under DirectOutput folder. Renaming the manifest is crucial in order to get the panels starting up with FSX-SE.

Good luck.

I Was also looking to figure out why my FIPs did not seem to work. What I found was this:

I had my FIPS and My Yoke/TQ/Radio/AP/Switch Panel all connected to a Powered USB 3.0HUB which was connected to a USB 3.0 Port. Only the FIPS did not work. I moved the FIPS to USB 2.0 Ports and they worked fine, also plunged one into an Available port on a USB 2.0 Port and they worked.

So the only thing I can come up with is that my issues were related to USB 3.0 even though the other controls and panels work just fine on those ports.
