December 1, 20169 yr I'm thinking of purchasing a Saitek Pro Flight Switch panel for X-Plane, but see references to "FSX only". Has anyone tried this with XP, and is it just less functional than with FSX, or is it totally useless with XP? I use XP on an iMac (I see references to "works on a Mac" and "Win XP only"). Thanks- Bruce. ASEL, Instrument. KBJC, Colorado.

December 1, 20169 yr Author Thanks, awesome. Better support here than from the one vendor I contacted. Bruce ASEL, Instrument. KBJC, Colorado.
December 1, 20169 yr Saitek was recently purchased by Logitech last September so hopefully the drivers and software will improve once the dust settles Spad.next is a payware option that works flawlessly with XP11 and seems to be quite robust. Floyd Stolle www.stollco.com
December 1, 20169 yr Also, SPAD.neXt http://www.spadnext.com/home.html just added XP support. It may be still a bit rough and lack plane profiles, but these will come for sure. Basically it works, at least with the C172, as I tried recently. It's also able to drive Saitek FIPs already.

December 1, 20169 yr Author Can I just confirm that it's ok on a Mac ? Thanks, I really appreciate the help. Thanks for all the great info. Bruce ASEL, Instrument. KBJC, Colorado.
