May 3, 201412 yr So I have recently upgraded to the following - Pro flight yoke Saitek switch panel Saitek multi panel Saitek pro flight rudder/brake pedals Whilst I appreciate that this has been documented beforeI wanted to share my experiences as no matter how many times I search I never find the answers - or so it seems. So, I have encountered the following issues and these are my fixes. I had watched some tutorials online (frooglesim) which is hugely helpful. I have used FSUIPC in the past but took a break from Sim stuff for a fair few years. Back with a vengeance! Initially I wanted to get used to new controls by using the stock FSX Skyhawk Cessna. Followed instructions and here is where I am - Thanks to a fellow forum member for input! Initially I had issues with the following - 1) Using rudder pedals activated yoke movement - Fix to disable controls in FSX 2) On disabling control setting in FSX I lost all FSUIPC actions 3) Re-programmed and after FSX crashing many times am currently as I type in the air and all seemingly works well. 4) For some reason my brain did not appreciate that disabling controls in FSX would loose all point of view hat movement etc. Question - I used to use the spacebar and mouse as a POV tool. Found that for some applications flying jets it was easier to wander around the cockpit. I have now lost this. What is the fix? When I press space bar I get the crosshairs but no movement when rolling the mouse around. TIA :biggrin: I have used the search before asking....honest!! Christian Ternofsky
May 3, 201412 yr Author On another note the Saitek Multi panel (auto pilot function) and the Saitek Switch panel works with PMDG 737 ngx in the following way. Multi Panel - Autopilot module Course bug works Auto Thrust disarm works Flap switch works extend/retract Auto pilot dis arm works. Well worked once but never again for some reason Switch Panel - Gear lever works Will try SAPD and see what difference that makes although I will be uninstalling the Saitek drivers and see what I can cock up along the way!! Thats it! I have used the search before asking....honest!! Christian Ternofsky
May 3, 201412 yr Author Hmmmm things not going to plan. Tried to config a few other planes. Just trying with stock FSX planes. The King Air using two separate throttles is not working great. For some reason attempting to use the saitek throttles as a reverse just send the plane nuts. Also the switch panel has decided that when you for example turn the landing lights on it is now turning the gens off. Turning on panel lights also turns the generator off. Steep learning curve!!

May 8, 201412 yr Author Quick bump on the below question...sure it is an easy fix in FSUIPC I guess... I used to use the spacebar and mouse as a POV tool. Found that for some applications flying jets it was easier to wander around the cockpit. I have now lost this. What is the fix? When I press space bar I get the crosshairs but no movement when rolling the mouse around. Also can someone confirm for me the following - My view when I first load up PMDG737 is very close to the Annunciator panel. But when I pan out to I loose all actions with the mouse button/wheel and can't turn any button. Now, a search has told me to use <ctrl &shift> and then use either space bar or the return key. AS I slew over to the right, bingo, the mouse works on the buttons......but I am sitting on the radio stack. Help is gratefully received. Thanks in advance Christian I have used the search before asking....honest!! Christian Ternofsky
