December 30, 20178 yr Is it possible to connect the Saitek Farm Sim Side Panel to FSX or P3D? I'm looking for a general input panel with buttons and a pointing device and it reminded my of real world devices made by Honeywell and Rockwell Collins.
December 30, 20178 yr Does Windows recognize this device as push buttons and an axis? under (Device and Printers) If so, I would think P3D would find it also. John Hubbard MSFS2020 - Win10
January 1, 20188 yr Author Will find out after I order it. Found some other "generic" interactive devices but don't know if it's possible to connect them. https://www.amazon.com/stores/node/7671016011?_encoding=UTF8&field-lbr_brands_browse-bin=X-keys&ref_=w_bl_hsx_s_ce_web_7671016011

Elite Dangerous, Star Citizen, Euro Truck Simulator - just a few of the other titles in which you can easily use the Side Panel for control Should work like any other stick. I like it.

January 4, 20188 yr Author I'd like to use the buttons for mag switches and knobs to adjust the altimeter, etc. If I can use the stick as a pointing device, great. A lot of real life modern avionics set ups have stuff like this: https://www.dassaultfalcon.com/en/Technology/PilotBenefit/Pages/Flight-deck.aspx
