August 3, 20196 yr Library Administrator Good afternoon, Just bought a copy of X-Plane 11 to see what it has to offer. I have the basics set up, but am having difficulty with a couple of things. Can the Saitek Switch Panel and Radio Panel be compatible? Also whats the best method to connect to VATSIM? Thanks in advance for the help. (Please understand, I am not a "convert" to X-Plane, but its important to me, and my excessively long sim history..see my signature...to see what all sims have to offer) Brian A.

Here's a second URL, but it's a bit more difficult to navigate although it may have more current plugins. Edited August 3, 20196 yr by airernie
August 3, 20196 yr Author Library Administrator Beauty! Thank you! What about the Vatsim connectup? Im used to VPilot, but Im pretty sure thats just P3D etc Brian A.

August 4, 20196 yr "XP11 VATSIM" as a search term at InternetMegacorp yields this: http://xsb.xsquawkbox.net/ 7950X3D + 7900 XT + 64 GB + Linux | 4800H + RTX2060 + 32 GB + Linux My add-ons from my FS9/FSX days
August 6, 20196 yr Yeah that's basically the client for XP11. It's "meh." I would recommend Pilot Edge (for P3D too) though...it does cost a bit but well worth it. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
August 6, 20196 yr Author Library Administrator Im a long time user of VATSIM, and understand what PE has to offer, just not quite sure about making that leap at this point. Might solve some of my headaches on both sides but we will see. Brian A. Neuman Proud simmer since 1982 using the following simulators: Sublogic Flight Simulator 1 and 2.

Might solve some of my headaches on both sides but we will see. I hear ya....I was also a long time vatsim only guy. And yeah the coverage area isn't the best...but they do have a larger area now with the western US and I'm guessing that would suit you well. I only have the Socal region because I rarely fly big jetliners. But at some point I'd like to switch to the western US too.

If you go to the settings and then keyboard, at the very bottom is a drop down box where you can change x-planes default key bindings to fsx ASRock Z370 Pro4-CB MB; Intel I7-8700K CPU; 32 Gb Potenza RAM (DDR4-2400); Win10 Home; 1Tb SSD internal hard drive; NVIDIA RTX 2080; P3D v4.5
