February 22, 201115 yr Seems I've dropped a clanger by purchasing the Saitek range of panels for my addon aircraft :blink:I incorrectly thought they were programmable, but apparently they're not, which I find astounding to say the least.I have a registered version of FSUIPC and wondered if anyone else had found a way of either changing button asignments, or making these panels work with addon aircraft, like PMDG etc?I've seen it mentioned that it's possible via means of 'offsets' in FSUIPC, but don't understand that one bit.I have asked at the FSUIPC support forum, but it seems there's some unsavory politics going on with saitek and FSUIPC, so doubt I'll get any help there.Any help at all much appreciated.Cheers Windows 10 (x64) - X-Plane 11 - M/B: Asus ROG Maximus IX Hero - CPU: i7 7700k (@5.0GHz) - RAM: 32Gb Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 @ 3200MHz - Video: GTX1080ti - Cooling: Custom water loop (EK 140 Revo D5 pump/res combo, EK EVO CPU block, EK XE360 Rad)
February 22, 201115 yr Hey Phil I own the full range of Saitek panels also, I never tried setting up my PMDG bird 747-400 fully up. I did setup the Flaps cause I liked the switch on my panel. First off you'll need SPAD for any hope of getting things working. PMDG and FSUIPC offests are a close secret I'm told. The only thing I can recommend is to print out your birds Keyboard assignments and assign the Keys via SPAD. Honestly though you picked the wrong gear for the heavies. I just got my Goflight FCP in today and I see it has a PMDG Option(?), I was using a VRinsights MCP and it worked fabulously using FS9's PMDG, but so-so using FSXs. The Saitek Panels are not bad, but you're rarely get 100% compatibility when you deal with payware planes and if you noticed unlike other Hardware options Saitek doesn't tailor for specific planes.
