How To USE LOGITECH/SAITEK Panels With Microsoft Flight Simulator | MSFS Tutorial

[@Glen_Eagles]

Cheers my fellow simmer, i am so glad they have finally pulled their fingers out and given us the Drivers at last. Happy Flying

[@PilotStudd]

Have a great time in the skies!

[@jorisbonson386]

*sort of.

[@plane_spotter_italy]

Hey at the begging it worked then once I started mfs2020 and while it was loading a message appeared saying “there is already an instance of plug-in running” do you have some help idk guys maybe did it already happen to you guys? Thanks….

[@SiMsIMs-1]

3 years old video but still valuable. Good stuff mate. keep it up.

[@stevenstone307]

Thank you! Was struggling to get my Switch panel going but works now! I downloaded the Switch drivers but it didn't seem to work, so I downloaded the multi-panel one too, then restarted the computer. All worked then

[@jtepsr]

I want you to know that i tried installing pilot panel again and i got it to work. I installed plugin and then rebooted pc. Now it works!!

[@rafaelgil9343]

Where can I get the plug in. Have been all over and can’t find it. Please help. Thank you in advanced.

[@wlbear2570]

At the time of MSFS launch these drivers weren’t available so I sent an email to Logitech asking them and I must say they weren’t very helpful, after some browsing I discovered Spad.Next drivers and I’m delighted with them. Works with all saitek/Logitech hardware. Thanks for the video buddy. 👍🏻

[@RavenCodex]

What a shill in a last gasp to sell people something they can get for free.

[@michelholderith9127]

Yep, Logitech drivers didn't work by me, but the spad.next worked directly as expected. There are a lots to setup, but once it's done, you don't have to touch your profile afterwards. But yes it's a shame to buy again this as Logitech should provide it for free, and their support is crab... Thank you again for the link, it was usefull.

[@JaviDelgz]

Hello, I have the multipanel, it shows connected and the panel turns on the HDG lights, but it doesn't work on when selecting the heading, or altitude, no number shows up, neither when trying to configure the buttons 😢 I have the TCA Captain pack, but wanted to have the autopilot panel working, don't know what to do, could you help me out?

[@BillSmith-rx9rm]

So everything works with this on MSFS 2020 except for one thing. The elevator trim starts out at 13%, and only moves a couple of degrees either direction no matter how long you turn the trim knob, and then automatically resets itself to 13%. Is there a fix for this?

[@Jean-ClaudeMisset]

Having switched from X Plane 11 to MSFS 2020, I need to update my Logitech drivers exactly as explained in this great video. My question is: Should I unplug the USB of my Logitech devices before doing the update? Thank you.

[@thepamphleteer9989]

Thanks for the vid. Just got a new PC and everything was working except my switch panel. Love these flight components and love the graphics on my new setup. Really enjoy your content.

[@kevinbrook7033]

SU5 has killed my Saitek radio :-( Reinstalled software, tried the USB power management fix, then did a complete Windows reinstallation to start over, nothing, doesn't work at all. If I run the Logitech test software the panel lights up and cycles through all the various modes so I know the panel itself is fine. I'm pulling my hair out, anyone else having the same issue?

[@cwood7240]

Hey. I am very new to MSFS 2020. (two days) Being an X-plane user for years. So in MSFS I downloaded the Saitek plugin. My panels are working correctly. The only thing is my Saitek Yoke. I can not steer on the ground and I do not have rudder pedals. How do I get MSFS to recognize I do not have rudder pedals and want to steer on the ground with the yoke? Thanks

[@rufrider8682]

Thanks for posting about this. I have a few of the instrument panels and radio panels still sitting in boxes because I was content to wait for first party support rather than buy a third party program to make work what should work on its own. The radio and instrument panels seem to work as expected, with the caveat that the ADF function of the radio panel seems a bit goofy and the 2 decimal place COM radios don't match the three decimal places in the sim cockpits. It's not a huge deal but would be nice if they were matched. For the instrument panel, all of the displays seem to work as expected, though I'm not sure what the intended function of the left side buttons with labels is supposed to be. None of them seem to do anything, but I never used the instrument panels in any sim previously so not sure what is to be expected. Anyway, thanks a lot for pointing out that Logitech finally released something to get these devices working. They seem to have done it rather quietly.

[@tde439]

I have a saitek panel that was made before Logitech took over. I’m having trouble getting this setup, kinda frustrated

[@josephjolly1936]

My question can you connect the Logitech panels directly to the USB ports in the G pro flight yoke assembly, there a three USB ports available on flight yoke assembly. Thanks for the video. Happy flying.👍✈️

[@christopherbrisland7611]

after a long time away from the sim, I am rebuilding and reinstalling. I can find the logitech hardware suppor page and the download link for multi panel and switch panel etc. but when I click the link I get this: Select Operating System to show Downloads. There are no Downloads for Operating Systems not listed. But there are no OS listed - is there somewhere else I can get the software? Help please - Or does my Win 11 mess things up? There seem to be no newer entries on the msfs forum

[@the.outdoorsy.nonbinary]

Not sure if it’s just my computer, but I downloaded the driver, and none of the instruments are working while the switch panels do; I tried manually opening the driver and it said it was already running. Any suggestions?

[@roop298]

Downloads ARE on the download page next to a very unassuming down arrow to the right of the options. Not dead obvious.

[@eliwalta7907]

Does it work with windows 10 pro?

[@JuanManuelVs]

Hello, I make two SIMPLE queries about the LOGITECH MULTI PANEL (I want to find it to use in an Airbus A320neo in FS2020): - When you change the ALT on the multi panel, it ok on the A320 sim? or how do you interpret the push of the knob? (In the virtual cockpit of the simulator, once you entered the new ALT, one must press the knob (push) to activate. THIS, can it be replicated in the multi panel? - When you start the sim in a parking lot, does it start on? or can it only be used if you start on a track? THANKS.

[@speedyretreat]

I noticed the knobs have a pretty slow turn time on the auto pilot panel. Any way to fix that?

[@motownlucas]

Same here. Looking for way to tune them...

[@Burt2201]

Hello ! Does it work with X-Plane 11 ? I can't get it to work even tho I've watched around 4 tutorials; could you help me?

[@dr.aviator]

My radios and multipanel both work with no issue. However, the flight panel switch works but will not light up. What could be the issue?

[@jay-rus4437]

Does this panel work with fenix a320 and/or fbw. Just curious how versatile these might be

[@peter.plehmann9877]

Patch nearly works - everything but screen vison [Autopilot] Screen vison on radios etc - but now the controls don't work like yolk no sensitivity available!! Do I kick it? Best Peter

[@thegap0]

I don't see the Logitech plug in. I've searched for hours and have tried downloading several times. I've tried restarting my pc, and launching MSFS. The flight switch is still dark. I don't know what I'm missing. Yes, it's plugged in. Asking here is my last resort. Thanks...

[@pauljohnson9260]

The autopilot multi panel looks very good it will free up buttons on joystick and keyboard for other stuff

[@botran214]

I'm trying to fly the A320 with the flight panel but whenever I pull up the gear, it doesn't work. How do you customize controls?

[@perfectox]

Did you try them on Carenado´s Mooney M20R? Do these work?

[@jedwalter]

Hi there, maybe a stupid question but do you still need a joystick/yoke or can this switch panel pretty much do it all? Never played simulator?

[@fcf8269]

can you change the button assignments? Love to have so many buttons but they are assigned to lights, which is not that useful to me. Thanks!

[@larryhoffert3785]

Thank you so much for this. Now I can use all my instrument panels

[@nathanjboyd]

Thanks you so much for the fix. However, after downloading the recent update (1.10.7.0), all my panels have stopped working. I just can't get them to work. Do you have any ideas?

[@MrPhantom453]

Any fix?

[@timothydeneffe249]

Great content and helpful info i can't find elsewhere. Subscribed.

[@rb6978]

Great thanks….how do you change any of the button mapping functions? I can’t see the Logitech panels in the MsFs control setting menu ….?

[@marcinus2000]

same and looking for solution

[@jeffwebster1080]

Installed driver. No lights come up on Switch Panel and not see under controls in MSFS. Any ideas?

[@Koolkole27]

I have a yoke and a throttle but what should I buy now?

[@chaseweakley9183]

Do you know how to get the instrument panel working because mine is light up but with just a black screen

[@SashaWiesen]

Same here. The instrument panel is just blank and unresponsive. I hope they come up with a fix soon!

[@SashaWiesen]

That link doesn't address the instrument panel, which is a large led screen that is not coming on.

[@alwatt9367]

I was using the Logitech nav panel, doing ILS approaches. I managed to get the Cessna 182 to follow the route and pick up the ILS to land but just before auto landing perfectly ... I lose all joystick controls, brakes camera views and have no way of stopping the landed aircraft.. Is this a bug on mfs2020 or am I missing something. Also my new panel the knob is working loose on the right hand main rotary knob is this a common problem?

[@dongeri]

My FIPs doesn't work either. Is this something that Logitech/Saitek will fix in the near future?

[@PilotStudd]

I hope so, I haven’t got this product but I’ll keep an eye out!

[@SashaWiesen]

Same here!

[@alexwasserman4983]

What about those little square instrument panels? Mine aren't working but everything else does

[@PilotStudd]

I don’t have them so I can’t really help you out, however I do know this driver should work with them, maybe check power management settings for them, that’s always a good place to start!

[@SashaWiesen]

Same here. Hopefully it's a known issue and they're working on a fix!

[@KaanCanGuler]

Because of your information finaly all the panels are working Thnx bud.

[@moodyhamel5677]

Hi, I am using the Alpha yoke which many of the function of the start up, lights ext are pre-mapped already, how could I use both the Alpha yoke and Seitech panel without a conflict? Thanks

[@gonvise]

Hello... I have only radio panel, it is working on propellers, but not in A320... does it work for you?

[@PilotStudd]

Hi, unfortunately I don’t own the radio panel so I cannot help!

[@gbee8888]

Good video but what if you want to change the default bindings. I have the default bindings working but these L/S controllers do not show in the MSFS2020 controls panel. ?

[@pilotbyy]

I download but nothing comes, I press I read and accepted then finish. Nothing comes

[@likes2fly]

mine work for a few seconds and never again. the switch panel works fine on the test page

[@SashaWiesen]

Thanks for the tips, after installing the patch all the control panels now work. However, the Pro Flight Instrument Panel just doesn't seem to display anything, no matter what I do. Any suggestions?

[@jtepsr]

yeah return like i am doing. it is crap

[@Bellthorian]

Thanks for this video, I have been plying with the Yoke and panels for a while, they worked perfectly in the Cessna 172 and other small general aviation aircraft. However, whenever I tried a turboprop like the TBM 980 weird things would happen loke raising the landing gear would turn off everything in the cockpit. I downloaded the drivers and they worked fine. I can't believe I forgot to install the drivers when I bought my panels a while ago lol.

[@AeroChris]

I was waiting for this! Thanks mate! 😁

[@PilotStudd]

It’s amazingly easy!

[@AeroChris]

@@PilotStudd Yeah it is! Thanks again 🙂

[@paulemoore3205]

Does the switch panel only work with microsoft?

[@pbr2805]

Question: Once you download the drivers for a panel and then you add another different panel do you have to run the drivers again or just plug in the added panel and it will work???

[@PilotStudd]

Just plug the new panel in and it should work!

[@carpless]

do you knoiw where to get screws to join them together from

[@mackayamyam3541]

As a 40 year old noob and my first flight sim as I only got it recently and have a business so capital isn’t an issue I’ve been investing in gear. Bought this today and have to wait a few weeks but a superb video and I look for forward to learning. Thanks buddy. Subbed and liked

[@msrtincollins8233]

My Logitech switch panel is not working. Where is the main driver for the flight switch panel, In device manager Saitek bulk interface there is no driver installed. So where do I find the driver. If anyone can help to get this working?

[@pooppee8973]

What if they still won’t work

[@pbr2805]

I do have FSX not MFS X I made a mistake when I stated it was MFS X. I really don't see the difference as they are both the same. Anyway, I am still not able to get my switch panel to work. Nothing lights up or operates and I followed all the directions that you have on this video. Hope you or someone can help me get this beast working.

[@robertchandler9951]

Thank you! Awesome timing... Was just about to pull the trigger on Spadnext. You have a new subscriber!

[@Ron_A._Bolton]

Thanks, but one day too late for me. Worked it out yesterday. However for me the Avionics switch does not work. Did you make any change for that. Had to do mine manually and Write my own batch file.

[@PilotStudd]

For me the avionics switch working depends on the aircraft, I’m not too bothered to be honest, thanks for watching ✈️

[@Arien_Nik]

do you thin this will work with 2024 msfs

[@zakkhuitema3748]

when using the supplied driver for these panels, im finding alot of my switches dont actually do anything, but spad makes them function, but at the same time, the radio and ap panels are flickering when i move the dials. moving the dial makes the ap turn off, the readings go to 000 untill i move the dial a little more then all goes to normal

[@giovannisantilli5227]

grazie mille per il tuo aiuto, è stato fondamentale per usare il saitek switch panel. thank you so much for your help, it was crucial to use the saitek switch panel.

[@MrHughes500]

Great video. Do you need any other drivers to make multi panel work not of the box with msfs .just the one from logiteck ?

[@sebgengen2074]

Thinks for the tip but how to change the keys of the mcp And pro flight switch panel please? Only the Yoke on fs 2020… 🙏🏻thinks

[@tombmaster972]

thanks for showing this plugin! now the only panel i can not operate is my saitek b.i.p. panel. do you know why?

I really want to know... Does this work for Xbox?

[@naijapilotxmax6006]

how did you mount it on your desk please?

[@rafaelgil9343]

I have been going in circles as to getting the plug-in for the Saitek products to use with the MSFS2020. I have used the links given by you and others and it takes me to different pages and not able to download the plug-in. Please help, I bought the pro flight multi panel (auto pilot), the switch panel and the yoke system. All Saitek Logitech. Appreciate any help that anybody can provide!!

ive tried looking for the plugin starter and cannot find it, please help!

[@jos.4120]

Hello, thanks for the vid. Does the TRIMM WHEEL function also work? I heard the Saitek Trimm wheel device doesn't...or isn't supported? Any news about that? Thx for the effort you put into this.

[@PilotStudd]

Yeah this trim wheel on the panel works very well in all aircraft I’ve tested so far, sorry for cutting it out in this video! But I don’t believe the old SAITEK one is supported yet, Thanks for watching ✈️

[@fernandoferraz2057]

Saitek trim wheel works fine for me... the old big trim wheel. I think they don't sell it anymore unfortunately :x

[@phillewis2616]

You skipped over elevator trim, and that’s what I was waiting for :) Does it work? I hate trimming with rocker switches...

[@PilotStudd]

Ahh yes my bad, that works fine!

[@bulldogge2002]

Most people might use such panel on a USB Hub. If you do that for sure you got to install the driver but also have to mention the power supply. If there are several devices on such port you need a external power device. After I supply the hub with external power all runs pretty well

[@larryhoffert3785]

I tried downloading this and I still can’t get nothing to work. How do you get the Logitech icon on your computer. The only thing that has worked for me is the liveries I added. I have tried to load the 32NX mod and it isn’t even showing on my airplane list. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

[@MrPhantom453]

Did you manage to get your panels to work yet?

[@caviwhy]

just realized i have the same exact joystick and panels as you do, except the joystick is slightly a different color

Thanks this was super helpful because I was wondering why it was not working

[@alecbell5453]

This does not work for the BIP panel. Any ideas please

[@gorkemgorgec3837]

Thanks for amazing video but I’ve some problems with my panels. Its not working when start cold and dark on flight simulator. But if I start runway point its working properly. But I want to start cold and dark at the gate. When I switch battery on electrics are coming and lights on but auto pilot panel not ready for using. Why happening this could you help me?

[@PilotStudd]

Hi, I believe this is a common problem but I’m not too sure! If you start at the gate, to use autopilot make sure you’ve got master avionics on regardless of the plane, I know some don’t have it but you’ve got to turn it on to use the autopilot aside from that you can’t actually turn on the AP until your close to the flight plan, so that may be why,

[@gorkemgorgec3837]

@@PilotStudd I solved it. I checked official driver website and I found new version its solved my problem 😅

[@jameshunt2307]

For some reason using the Logitech drivers causes the sim to jitter and lag. Same thing happened with SPAD so not sure if this is a connectivity issue all round with the panels and the sim!! Soon as I close Logitech the sim returns to normal.

[@PilotStudd]

I haven’t heard of this problem before so it’s new to me, could be cpu usage if you’ve got a weak cpu but I doubt you have. Let me know if you find a solution!

[@craighwilkins1]

Was a sim connect with MSFS issue it has been corrected in the last patch. Anything connecting to it prior to the last patch was killing frame rates even on powerful machines.

i have the yoke plugin, do i need another plugin for the autopilot? just doesn't work

[@PilotStudd]

Yes, the yoke driver doesn’t work with this, download the panel driver in the description

[@jtepsr]

i bought the flight panel and it doesn't work, why. it is the autopilot panel.

[@PilotStudd]

It should work with this driver, the link is in the description.

[@chaseweakley9183]

Did you get your instrument panel working if you have one because mine isn’t

[@PilotStudd]

I don’t have an instrument panel so unfortunately I can’t really comment but this driver does work with that, so I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Check your power management settings as that’s a common problem with these (just search up a tutorial) hope this helps!

Pilot Studd thanks

[@FrankLangford]

I downloaded the plug-in last night ,17-9-20 . Only one problem. It auto installs on to the C drive. There is no option to alter the install path. Now, this is fine if your MFS 2020 is on the C drive. Mine is on a separate M.2 NVME drive . I have located the folder on the C drive. Does anyone know where on the Microsoft flight sim the plug in folder should go? It works fine with XPlane 11 , but that’s on my C drive. Any help much appreciated. I have installed the patch for the Microsoft Sim all 13.5 Gb of it. It would be be nice to get the switch panel working .

We are having trouble getting the instruments to light up in new flight simulator, tried a new ssd, fresh copy of windows 10, downloaded the game from Microsoft, all goes on fine, install the Logitech patch which again appears to go on fine, the yolk and rudder pedals work but nothing else, if we try to run the Logitech patch whilst game is open it just gives a dll missing error - any advice?

[@PilotStudd]

That’s very odd indeed, one thing I will recommend and no guarantees it will help but if it lists the dll missing, search that up on google, see if you can find a download for it, install it and try that. I hope this helps 👍

[@sharonlou3]

Pilot Studd we tried that on the other hard drive but it made no difference abs strangely it’s exactly the same error messages appears, that’s why we thought try a bee drive and a fresh install of everything, it all appears in device manager but just nothing when we start up the game

[@PilotStudd]

I’m not too sure, power management may be the issue if it all shows up in device manager: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npSud5x8n7usq5Y
