Saitek Multi Panel problem

[Tatave 57]

Hi, 

 

I have just recieved the Saitek Multi Panel. Straight away, I went into SPAD and configured it to the NGX special mode. However, this created an error: The readout on the panel keeps on switching between the NGX readout (starting at 100 knots and 10000 feet) and the default multi panel readout (starting at 0 knots and 0 feet). This means that whenever I turn the rotary knob, the readout switches rapidly between both types of readouts. For example, if I twist the knob to select speed 200, the readout will rapidly go from 100 to 200 and end up staying on one of them. 

 

I should add that I am using SPAD with the NGX special mode via the unregistered FSUIPC. 

 

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

How do you have it connected?  Try connecting direct to a USB hub on your CPU if not already doing so and see if that makes a difference.  I find I need to do that.  I've tried connecting it to USB port on my Saitek yoke and also tried connecting it to a powered USB hub.  But direct to a USB port on the CPU seems to be my only reliable solution.

I had it plugged in to my yoke too.  :Doh: I've got FSX running now, so I'll go take a look and see if that was it. Thanks! 

 

EDIT: That seems to have solved it! 

 

Thanks again! :smile:

Glad you got it working.  And your topic title should make it easy for others to see this since it will certainly return context-correct search results.
