Saitek ProFlight Sim Full Set-up and Demonstration, Part 2

[@zakman246]

@LilSkeezy27 Yes it should. The coloured heads on the levers can be switched so you can get two throttles, two mixtures and two props. Good luck starting your cockpit!

[@samuelb9731]

Do you need a software or to downlod something to make work the multipanel ??!

[@MarkKnue]

Very nicely done, gents

[@AbdullahTashkandi9]

cool i like that, I have the yoke , throtal and padals now i need to get the whole stuff. but how to calibratet to ur pc ?? to make it more acurat and feel like real ??

[@LilSkeezy27]

I have a CH Yoke and Pedals.. I want to join to of the Saitek Pro Flight throttle quadrants together to form a twin engine quadrant.. will it work?

[@applepepee]

i just got this whole package and do you need to buy a USB adapter? and how do you start installing the hardware?

[@mpgprojects]

@buffcrkgamer i don't know if EVERYTHING is compatible with XP9 but the Pro Flight Yoke, Throttle, Multi- and Navigation-panels are compatible - even on a Mac !

[@8thRRFS]

@NikySportsPromotion Yeah, I just started using it. I find that when flying Jets, if I set the IAS to 250 kts up to 15,000' and then set it to 270 kts for 15000' and higher, it works out fairly well as far as an accurate mach setting.

[@IvoDepamelaere]

how do you connect the second throttle quadrant?

[@AngelofDeath595]

hi great set up mate are you able to also use this set up with other filght sims too ??

[@brainiac777]

nice, I want to get the yoke, pedals, quadrant, and either the multi panel or switch panel. I might get the switch panel because I hate how on some plane layouts, they hide the landing gear switch behind the yoke or right down in the bottom right when your trying to land. Its a shame the magneto switch doesn't switch back to both when let go from start, and landing gear lever doesn't switch back to the middle. I just calculated the entire set up shown there would cost you just over £1k.

[@gamethewarrior]

you guys need to bring out an overhead panel lol

[@GHerrera93]

how did you gather the Switch Panel with Throttle Cuadrant? I just bought the Switch Panel, but I can not put it together with the Throttle Cuadrant because the holes where the screws are placed do not match

[@Faracus]

@TheJulibord You are able to customize it to make it black back, blue blue, red red.

[@8thRRFS]

@gaspita Oh, really? Please tell me where there is a mach switch/selector on the Saitek multi panel.

[@NikySportsPromotion]

@8thRRFS there is an autothrottle, but unfourtunately only and IAS switch, no mach

[@Sigma0283]

Awesome! All we need now is some space simulation control panels for gamers who like to do space games.

[@luvlipstickkisses]

Ok. Where's the VOR indicator? You have the radio stack to set the channels. But no VOR needle/obs.

[@F42O]

I use it for my flight training... it looks like plastic toys but together with flightsim x it is a very useful tool to learn procedures and also get into the handling. I have over 200 Training hours in real flight, about 50 in the sim, and I will never do chairflying just in front of my cockpit layout poster only anymore. The radio and one instrument is minimum for good IFR training capabilities (cause you dont need to click the frequencies and courses with the mouse). The Autopilot panel is helpful too but the training effect is higher in manual flight with procedures, breifings and checklists during flying a hold for example... ;) It is worth the money ;)

[@BCSchmerker]

The Instrument modules here would allow me to mock up a full set of Kollsmans, excepting the sizes and multiple functions in one gauge (the 4.25" ADI packs a turn-and-slip in the case, with needle and bars below the ball---a function requiring two Pro Flight instrument modules).

[@chair5432]

I have the right half of that setup, and the rotary encoders for the radios are really sensitive and the A/P fights with the on screen A/P. Just my experience.

[@NycDude66]

do each of the instrument sqaure panel take 1 usb each or is the whole 6 worth one usb slot. because the new computer im getting has 10 usb slots take 1 away for the keyboard and mouse thats only 9 and i wondering if it all fits in the 9. If i dont have enough is there any slots on the yoke that will allow me to put some of the instrument panels on. I heard there were 3 USB slots on the yoke. Can you please help? Nycdude66

[@MrDutchpeter]

Would like installation information for Saitek Multi panel for mac

[@icetee23TF]

To all the people asking for the cost of the setup .i have that exact same setup and a little extra for differant types of planes and it costs 967.54 .im 11 and I paid for it with my own money im so proud.

[@chair5432]

Thinking of building one using an Atmel chip, shift register, and FSUIPC/WIDEFS

[@piromoretta]

@iwantpk2 and wich game is not piontless for you?

[@dieterturner]

how the instruments are connect with the computer? with usb?

[@sindeecharlton8857]

What I do not see is the GPS panel, MSx one can not fly by TACANDS. so how do you fly fron airport to airport WITH OUT gps?

[@rev9fan1]

Clarence Charlton VOR

[@TIJUL11]

hmm is there any way to screw or fix the hardware together ?

[@Faracus]

I want to know why the lights where on and gree when he was in the up position to begin with.

[@joshua12484]

Does all this stuff work with add on aircraft like the PMDG 747-400?

[@williamrowe5693]

Hate to say it you tempted me with the auto pilot console. Just ordered one, now spent over £500 🤭 but still less than 30 mins in a full motion sim.

[@theOnly_Gatsby]

How are you overcoming the conflicting axis XYZ on the USB Quad and the XY axis on the yoke?

[@justinspirational]

I have the pro fight panel radio only..Do you know how to turn the led displays off when not in use but still plugged in to your computer via the USB cable when the computer is turned on for other applications? ( My pro fight radio panel display appears to be lit permanently so long as it's plugged in and the computer is on, whether in the simulator (xplane) or not and would prefer the displays to not light up/display info when not in the simulator..(SPAD driver installed..the original Saitek driver did not work for me at all- the Saitek driver just made the display random, constantly changing numbers)..Thanks for any feedback

[@vadermike7772]

justinspirational Here is a good trick that I use. I bought a 7 port usb hub that I plug my two Saitek radios into, as well as my multi-panel display and Saitek switch panel. My 7 port USB hub has switches for each USB input, that I can turn on and off. So... Whether I am in the game, or not, I can turn on, or off, each individual usb input. This also works well for my USB harddrive that I have plugged into the hub, as I only turn that on when I am doing backups, and leave it off most of the time.

[@justinspirational]

vadermike777 I have since added the Saitek switch panel also. .my sim of choice is x plane and the xsaitekpanels x plane 10 plug in makes the panels work optimally and switches them off automatically (works better than with the Saitek drivers only and better than with the SPASlD drivers alternately equally. .I just can't use them with FSX but I feel FSX is much less realistic, especially with helicopters than XPlane10

[@justinspirational]

justinspirational * SPAD drivers

[@derekzaleski3143]

will this bring the energy bill up much?

[@bobbykayuk]

i want to know how this works because i brought the whole lot and i was told i need to get another computer so i can run them all ? I find i turn the computer on and half the gauges wont work due to to much power for one computer ? any help out there ?

[@jake30966]

How can i sort the dead zone for the yoke as i have to turn yoke nearly half way to the left before it responds on pc , the settings are all set to the same and everything else is ok , just having problem with the left turn on the yoke .

[@SuffyANX]

You could buy a second throttle quadrant and use 4 as throttles, and the other 2 as normal prop/mixture, or maybe trim and mixture in a 747. I think when you buy an extra it comes with a bunch of new heads so you can make them all look like throttles.

[@Thekingswa747]

where do you get multi-engine control throttles

[@CONNO123A]

how do you get the extra throttle?

[@spyglass123]

@windogmassey1 im sure your right, and that whole set up is rediculously expensive too, i mean just the 6 Flight Instrument Panels its £649.95

[@mysoftwarelab]

I am owning almost the same setup since some weeks.... but did not get it working. Feels like Windows 98 - changing USB ports and installing drivers with the hope that it might work. Sorry but I invested men days to figure out that this is disappointing grab!

[@megahussein223]

how much usb ports is on that thing In fact how would it all fit please reply im curios

[@BigDuke6ixx]

Why are the primary instruments not correctly arranged?

[@british0016]

Would this be compatible with the new flight sim for xbox

[@jjchang310]

for the switch panel... do you just plug in and play?

[@JohelFabian1]

How do i get the VOR1 and VOR2 on this panels?

[@piromoretta]

some say this products are cheap but for me they do the job

[@puffinx64]

how much did it cost of full setup total and can u tell me price each seperately

[@8thRRFS]

I'm surprised the multi-panel doesn't have an IAS/Mach switch to use for jets.

[@macieksoft]

Why always on hardware showing videos is used default fsx plane??

[@TheTrennor]

Looks really cool, and I'd love to get a setup like ..... for my linux-driven FlightGear setup. Nothing I've seen addresses that. Do you people know anything about it?

[@TheJasonTutorials]

I have the yoke and a extra throttle quadrant im getting the multi, radio and switch panel soon than its pedals and instruments and headset

[@VariumHD]

well you can buy them on amazon, but, you onn;y need two since each one comes with a black cover that goes over all 3 of them per quadrant so you just need that and one more for a 4 engine plane. Hope this Helps.

[@123sebarn]

are they also compatelble witl xplane or microsoft flight simulator 2004?

[@nilspronk]

how much does it cost when i buy them all?

[@FlightSim2703]

This is your second video upload, still haven't clearly the complete setup

[@bbwhizkid2]

Could the yoke and pedals work on fs2004

[@Aspire198]

I need atleast one of those guages, thats all i need cus u can toggle each one ( i would probobly leave it on airspeed) the yoke includes mode switch to I can assign different control patterns depending on which mode Iam in, example, mode one can have all my viewing controls, I want to bring up my gps and mess with that, so I switch to mode 2 and I now have GPS controls. Its great!

[@riquelaboissiere]

HELLO, I BOUGHT X-PLANE 10 AND THE YOKE PLUS PEDALS AND A SWITCH PANEL, BUT I CANT GET THEM TO WORK WITH MY MAC!!! I KNOW THERE'S A WAY TO USE IT WITH THE MAC, BUT I JUST DONT KNOW HOW TO GET THE COMPUTER TO RECOGNIZE IT!! SOMEBODY HELP ME, PLEASEEE!!!

[@TheTomcat5]

It works only with default planes, isn't it?

[@houmam52823]

I want this in my life!!!

[@evsynator]

@iwantpk2 ... you are kind of right ... but a flight sim can also help with those who go into real flight . The discipline and navigation etc.... you can have fun with a flight sim with a few beers or take it very serious and learn a hell of a lot . There are lessons on how to switch on and take off in a plane .... you cant knock that .. some of it is so real .

[@NycDude66]

@planes142 It works with add ons.

[@scottskinner577]

I'm enjoying the Yoke, pedals and WAS enjoying the switch panels for about 2 weeks till my security program kept finding Malware files in the software required to run this. I've deleted the whole shebang several times and re downloaded it but the security keeps finding and quarantining the file and the panel will obviously not work without it. mad catz has not responded to my ticket although the webpage and confirmation email said they would. when I call it says WE NO LONGER OFFER SUPPORT FOR MAD CATZ PRODUCTS. There is not 1 single mention of the Saitek switch panel on the self help section either. Am I being Punk'd? Or is there someone alive and associated with Saitek/Mad Catz that can tell me why my panel is worthless? I'd appreciate any help from anyone about this. Still love the product line. but I'm not investing another dime till my panel is fixed or replaced

[@artemis7605]

Scott Skinner contact logitech as they have bought mad catz and therefore saitek

[@vincentstacey3368]

wonder why they did'nt mention spad drivers.....

[@store336]

are they compatible, easily, with X plane 10 or 11

[@bentleyvisser4072]

store336 yes

[@vonkiser]

@arjennovic hey man I was having problems getting my rudders to work correctly by plugging into the yoke.-just plug the switch panel into a usb on the CPU itself and try that.

[@JDvorak2009]

Still waiting since March, for my 3piece flight simulator, and fsx. I have no idea what has happened to my long awaited order. Hmmmm...

[@GowthamNatarajanAI]

DO all these work with X plane, DCS etc?

[@Kcwiro]

XPlane works with them just fine - custom aircraft is where it gets dodgy but I have this and they work great!

[@mitreviper]

Does the radio and panels work with X-plane 10?

[@NycDude66]

@nilspronk about £1000 - £1500. Each item costs between £100 - £139.99

[@KevRunsOnDunkin]

would this work with xplane?

[@falconwind00]

So when is the Saitek Force Feedback Pilot Seat and Air Traffic Controller Console coming out? j/k But seriously, this is awesome stuff! Sexy much!

[@gryzman]

does it work with x-plane too ? The m$ sim is so outdated nowadays,.

[@blueeyessonny]

Saitek or VRinsight? which is better?

[@rogermoore27]

Amazing!!!

[@ehab007bob]

what about choppers ?

[@jeet027]

thank you so much .

[@mikebaker7663]

Wish you could show how these work from the installed Logitech Drivers that won't work after 6 hours and searching of internet... After spending some 250 quid, i might just as well box it all back up and put in cupboard.. Works with Demo of X-Plane No issues, Seems FSX is not getting any further money from me...Logitech needs to Get a driver that works out of the box like the Yoke does.

[@shaneprior3505]

This must be over a grand on simulation products!

[@chair5432]

How much

[@GORDON49X]

Guy commenting hasn't a clue! It's not a "Heads up display" It's a cockpit! Also, that doesn't look like you're looking out of the cockpit because you can see the monitor edges nor would the instruments/panels be organises in that way!

[@pharohbender]

can anyone confirm if this is good with elite dangerous? does it work?

[@XcomProbo]

Curious about the same thing. Sorry I know it's not the answer you're looking for. Let me know if you find out anything.

[@pharohbender]

Probo X i ended up buying the flight yoke, brilliant has plenty of buttons for thrust control and flight love using it with elite dangerous.

[@swarley2500]

Yeah it does

[@elnogga]

@Larskals3th ebay of course

[@TheDiscipleDJ]

landing gear lever is up but lights are green FAIL

[@mrusa4440]

Dear Santa all I want for Christmas is.....LOL

[@tome346]

How much do you payed for it?

[@ThePilotGuy]

I calculated that he would have spent around 1169.94 dollars which is I think around 725 pounds. That's a lot of money lol.

[@modestextreme]

Way cheaper than a plane!

[@craziak100]

Will this work on windows 8 :'(

[@hermanshermits124124]

Ok, thats not the basic six arrangement... My scan would be totally screwed up. I think its all cool, except i prefer the CH pedals, and those little displays seem pointless. It may be fun to look through the big screen 'outside', but flying VFR on these sims is tremendous more difficult than in real life.

[@rolexkings7747]

Great but hell trying to continuously set them up...continued driver issues, none existent support......

[@XxLukexX]

Blame the logitech razer and all those crappy fanboys that can't appreciate good products till a company goes bankrupt

[@Milner62]

Too bad the switch panel isnt compatible with all simulators, was looking at getting that to free up some buttons on my Saitek X45 but at last I dont use Flight Simulator X, I am not too fond of flying comercial jets or small single engine planes.

[@Chris05161967]

I thought there were 8 instruments, not 6?

[@ryno200]

The IFR T is not set up corretly.

[@raidergames5850]

You can see your coordinates? WTF is that supposed to mean?

[@airbus_3209]

Raider Games listen kid watch a video

[@piromoretta]

@iwantpk2 oh shit my bad i got the meaning of your comment after 5min or so lol

[@nibelung34343]

i have this it is awesome

[@Mdemons12]

Wouldn't touch Saitek after the crap they gave me. Sent it back for warranty repair twice and its broken again outside of its warranty. I contacted them and apparently they don't repair and just replace broken items. So where are my 2 new yokes from when it was repaired?

[@evsynator]

@Lucasdeboer .... the days of me smoking the waccy baccy are over ... but I can also remember taking acid 30 years ago..... things like this would have been so fucking amazing no one could comprehend . Now days its took for granted that we have this stuff.... in those days we wanted it and they said we were mad for thinking it ..... lol .... thanks .
