Hi,

 

I've been wondering about how I could connect a Multi Panel to my Saitek yoke, since all USB ports on the yoke have been taken up. Could I plug in one of those 4-port USB hubs and make it work that way or does it have to be connected directly into the yoke?

 

Also, if I use a SPAD profile for PMDG aircraft on the Multi Panel, would I be able to see the values of what I'm changing on the LED screen itself?

 

Here's an example: I'm twisting the knob to change the altitude. If the altitude value on the PMDG 747's autopilot in FSX itself is 6300, will my Multi Panel show 6300 too? Or is the 744X too complex to see this?

 

Thanks alot for any suggestions.

 

Cheers,

Would this profile do what I want to see?

Hi Kevin,

 

Not sure on the SPAD profile and using it with the PMDG 747... Haven never tried it to be honest... The Saitek gear out of the box depends mainly on the aircraft in use adhering to the standard instrument programming, so if you get an add-on that uses its own custom method of instrument display coding etc, the Saitek gear may not be able to read it.

 

On your point about hooking up the Multi-Panel... no it does not need to plug into the yoke itself... It can go into any USB port. I would advise using a self-powered USB hub however, or connect the Multi-Panel direct to one of your case/motherboard USB ports.
