How can I make my Saitek Radios to work?

Recommended Posts

Even if a plane doesnt have stby , I should be able to change freq with the knobs, but moving the knobs does nothing when in NAV mode.

For fine tuning of Saitek radio, it's good to change the increment of the knob for the ADF position. By default it is 1and 0.1 but its much better to change to 10 and 1 instead. Also you can program the toggle switch with two different behavior for a short or a long press. I programmed the long press so it select the appropriate button on the audio panel to listen to select the com frequency or to listen to the audio signal from a navaid.

 

so a long press of the toggle switch do the following

 

Com1 mode= Select com1 radio

Com 2 mode = Select com2 radio

nav 1 mode = select the nav1 button on the audio panel etc...

 

i find it easier to active radio panel button from the saitek module than from the VC

Test SPAD with some of the stock legacy aircraft (Beech King Air 350) to find out if everything is working correctly. 3rd party aircraft can be hit and miss, it's not SPAD, it depends on how the developer has coded things. Although I've never done this myself, you can create custom profiles that can work with problematic 3rd party aircraft. One such profile comes with SPAD, it's for the PMDG 737NGX.
