Saitek / Logitech FIP -- How to install (MSFS 2020)?

[aatd 10]

 

I have a glass cockpit (Simionic PFD, MFD and audio panels), but am wondering how difficult it would be to install 3-4 of my Saitek generation FIPs to serve as the backup steam gauges.  This in MSFS 2020 and P3d (v5,1).

Two questions:

1.  (Viability ?):  Is this even doable ( e.g., am I going to have "conflict" issues due to the glass cockpit instrumentation; or other problems? )?  And;

2.  (How-to ?):  Can someone tell me what I need to do in order to install / run the FIPs?

Thank you,

Brian

if you just want the basics then install the plugin from Logitech...  They have installers for bother the P3D and MSFS...

ugh on the logitec site they have a download and then you run the installer ... that said I have never used it ..  I have been using SPAD.neXt since 2015 so when MSFS came out I never installed the software to use it...
