FSX Logitech Saitek Flight Instrument Panel not working :(
Hello there everyone, I have recently bought a Logeitech Flight instrument Panel. I have installed the Plug In from Logitech website for the windows 10 FSX 64 bit version. It starts fine and shows up but once I start taking off all the data are gone, the Panel still shows the different displays but it doesn`t indicate any information ( airspeed altitude etc) nothing shows up but the displays are still there and I could switch to different displays but yeah nothing works. I was wondering if anyone would know how to fix this problem as I have looked everywhere and couldnt find a solution :steamfacepalm:
It is very important to me this works as I am doing flight training and started doing circuits, and hence bought the panel so that I could see the data and all. Hope you guys could help me out.
Much appreiated thank you so much guys !! :)

I know nothing about this panel.

What I don't understand is why you don't simply use a second monitor or the Shift + Z display.

I just put the instrument panel on the second monitor.

My pleasure Sam,

You don't need a high performance second monitor. I just use an inexpensive 24" Samsung PLS monitor for the instrument panel. Very slim and compact.

thank you ! but preferrably I would like to get my instrument panel working as it would be a waste of money if it doesn`t work :/ thanks

I have two Logitech Saitek flight instruments (radio stack and flight panel). The default Logitech drivers do not work as well as SPAD.neXt. I strongly suggest you get the latter and try the demo version. It works perfectly with default aircraft and you can program it quite a bit for other functions. You'll have to pay a yearly subscription for it after the demo trial expires.

In the last two months, I have set up a cockpit for FS2020, so I have fixed this issue with multiple devices. Currently I have a Saitek Cessna Pro Flight Yoke, Saitek Cyborg Evo Joystick, Logitech Rudder, Logitech TPM, Logitech Multi Panel, Logitech Switch Panel, two Logitech Flight Radio Panels, and three Logitech Flight Instrument Panels. Everything works, especially after doing this one fix to every device:

First, find the device instance path. That path will be used later in the registry editor:
Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Devices and Printers>Device (FIP)>Properties>Hardware>USB Input Device>Properties>Details>Property>Device Instance Path.
Using my FIP as an example, the value is USB\VID_06A3&PID_A2AE&MI_00\7&132D6E95&0&0000

Next, open the Registry Editor by clicking the Windows Button + R or right clicking the Start Menu and then Run. Type "regedit" in the box.

That will open your Registry Editor. This is where you look for that device instance path. You are going to disable its enhanced powermanagement:

Computer>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SYSTEM>CurrentControlSet>Enum>USB>VID_06A3&PID_A2AE&MI_00>7&132d6e95&0&0000>Device Parameters>EnhancedPowerManagementEnabled
Value Data:0

It seems like Windows 10 along with Intel likes to under power everything. When I first purchased this system, I couldn't believe the lag especially when doing simple things like browsing the file explorer. I started believing that there was something wrong with my SSD until I did a little research. If you have a similar issue, go to your control panel and open the Intel Rapid Storage Technology>Performance>Link Power Management: Disabled

do you have a android tablet? if so download fsradio panel app. It has everything the saitek harware offers and more. Radio Panel. HSI, PFD, Autopilot, Main Switch Panel, Moving Map, and a basic FMC. If you don't own an android tab I've seen them for $50 or less on ebay. the fsradio panel app itself is $11.99 for the ad free version. Well worth it. Uses a wfi server on your pc to communicate with the Tab.app. Works flawlessly for me.
