As you can see, I'm fairly new to flight sims & AVSIM.This is NOT a "look how cool my system is".My problem is that I can't seem to find just where my hardware/tips/recommendations should go.The hardware that I would recommend is entirely based on my tips & tricks, software/drivers (freeware & payware).I use the Radio Panel concentric knobs to control the on-screen GPS-500 knobs. The Switch Panel has been reprogrammed to function properly. The CH Yoke switches perform multiple actions such as starting individual engines, control certain actions of the G13 keypad, & my TrackIR.The hardware & FSX is all tied together with SPAD, FSUIPC, HIDMacros, third party software, and sometimes even the original hardware programs. NOTHING is complicated, but some of it is not obvious.If you look up my review on Amazon under SameOldStory for the Saitek PRO Flight Radio Panel (12/17/11) & the last picture from my Amazon review of the Pro Flight Instrument Panel (12/11/11) you can get an idea of what I'd like to offer to other newbies. Sorry, but this was my best guess as to a place to put my question. Trying to do a search for Radio, Switch panels, GPS control, SPAD, FSUIPC, HIDMacros, etc was useless.

What is your question? And more importantly, what should your topic title be? What is this topic about?I moved it out since that wasn't an appropriate place. You can vote in a thread and post your opinion there. But this doesn't belong there.

Sorry, I forgot to state my question;"My problem is that I can't seem to find just where my hardware/tips/recommendations should go."My quandary (referring to the above question) is that the solutions I’ve worked out are not, exclusively, hardware or software but interdependent;"The hardware that I would recommend is entirely based on my tips & tricks, software/drivers (freeware & payware)."I had seen the "Hardware Controllers & Drivers" section but it looked liked it was mostly for posting problems/complaints.I was going to post in "Tips and Tricks", but it seems to be a dead end, and reminds me of the myth about the patent office closing in the 1800's because everything of significance had already been invented - "What "Tips and Tricks" is not however is a place for extended discussions, ....", and - "That is why all of the "working tips and tricks" are Locked of course, since there's no longer a need to change them ...."“Reader's Product Reviews” states that it is ONLY for commercial products, and my reviews would intermingle commercial software & freeware with hardware.Had I known that this was the place for posting tips, tricks, hardware, commercial software, & freeware info I would have used the title "Easy flight gear modifications for beginners."Thank you for your attention.
