↓↓↓↓↓↓↓ Description here ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓
This is my review for my recently purchased logitech radio panel for flight simulator. In this case, X-Plane 11, but it is also designed for FSX, P3D etc. I am quite pleased as it is cheapest I've found so far. I've put an Amazon Link below, But wait! Why click on my link for amazon? Well it simply diverts some of the profit from Amazon to the Reaction Review cannel at no cost to you what-so-ever. This may allow us in the future to review on an ongoing bases with less expense. So if your happy to support a small youtube channel, Thanks for your support! I hope you enjoy the video review!

Because of your information finaly all the panels are working Thnx man
only vid that explained this, well done
Oh Great Mace! I'm delighted it helped you! : )
@@GripperSim I was so stupid lol didn’t know how to change numbers on vfo for 133 it watching this I figured it out thanks
Great review, subscribed!
Thanks Ahmad! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! : )
Thanks again for the tip. An interesting bit of kit.
Thanks also for the peel... I like the peel.
It's a disgrace! ... Unboxing Porn, I feel so ashamed! ;;;)))
Great video, thanks
Thanks man!
A great help with your review. One question does the usb port (from the radio panel)plug into you computer? Thanks
stayed for the video, subbed for the peel.....mmm that peel
Wasn't expecting it to be so easy to install and be compatible with that variety of aircraft. I wasn't sure if I should by one but maybe I will when I saved some money for it. Could you also make a video about the multi panel and the instrument panel? Would love to see that!
Hi Dennis! Yes I will, It's on the list now. I've yet to unbox my Instrument Panel (I'm waiting to do the review) and I'm about to order the multi Panel from Amazon. I'll review them all. And yes, I was quite pleased and supprized it worked so well, and so easily! When the panels where owned by Saitek there was problems, which is why I've not bought then till now. they work a treat. The good thing is you can buy them in parts and assemble them when your bank account permits! Thanks for your comment!
are your knobs lagging from when you turn the knobs? Could it be that LORBY has a bug ?
I’ll sponsor…LOL JK! Thanks for the informative video👍🏽
Great video. But have you tried the DME mode? I can't change the values. '0000.0' in the left hand display and '112.85' in the right hand display'.
hey! thank you for the video!
Which port have you connected it to?
The panel does not light up for me, like AT ALL. I have tried USB 2 and 3 - no difference. simply nothing happenss when I connect it to my PC.
What about turning the course needles for nav 1 and nav 2? Can this panel do that? I saw you were able to set the nav frequencies but what about the courses?
What does the DME reads one window indicates miles and the other?
Hello! Does this thing also work in the new FS2020?
would you have an idea why my PC wont recognize my radio panels?i have the yoke and rudder and those work fine. but my radio panels and multi radio panels do not work . i have downloaded the latest plugins and i can see he panels in my computer devices. they just don connect when i turn on MFSM2020. any ideas?
Currys had these on offer just before Xmas. Got three of them for £57 each!
Why would my display panels (radio panels) react so slowly to the turn of the right silver knobs. It's like way behind my turns and you can't even tell when to stop. It's really unusable. Could it be that the logitech drivers might be in there and I also have the LORBY installed as well? Could that cause it? I'm not sure if the Saitek drivers are in there but I could check. But wanted to check with everyone here first. Thanks for the Video!!
Does the radio only turns on when you launch the flight simulator? if you are not gaming the radio remain off even do is plug in to the computer?
Hi mate I have all the panels for a while but my radio stacks not working for some reason do I now need to update my software to logiteck now ?..
How do you deal with a frequency that has 3 decimal digits?
Does it work with MSFS 20
I play dcs and you get into the 252-305.000 frequencies on the game...Will it be able to select those with this
how can I get my radio panel to work, windows is not reading the usb
I've heard of problems with the response of the rotary frequency selector knobs and that although they click they do not update the number digit by one per click. Furthermore you can find yourself in situations where you can't quite get the digit you want and have to twiddle things until it lands on the digit required. Is this still true or has Logitech fixed this issue?
And what about the lag on most systems? Add that to the two issues you speak of and you have a cluster-f-hat-trick
Has anyone figured out how to switch the Master switches? Mine are backwards too and haven’t figured out how to correct it. Any help would be appreciated!
for the life of me I can't find x-plane plug in anywhere on the web. Can you post the link?
I don't why the qnh don't work?
I found the knobs on the left a bit stiff. I replaced the default knobs with larger diameter ones and it's much easier to turn.
Interesting ye, they are a bit hard to turn actually, now I think of it! Thanks Charlie!
Where did you get the replacement knobs?
@@Stringbean421 I got them from Amazon [ www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07K2S7TGB ] Switch Knob, 20mm dia. x 15.5mm height
@@charlielima are they still working good? can you get different colors other than blue guitar knobs....but isnt it more that the potenimoter is the problem, not the knobs?
Yes all still good. You can get them in many colours, sizes and either in plastic or metal too, I got black aluminium ones. (Size: 20 x 15.5 mm / 1" x 0. 6" (d*h); inner Hole diameter: 6mm / 15/64")
Mine panel keeps scanning randomly . Is that normal?
Hi there, i have all the instruments panel, i use spad,next they all work perfectly with general aviation aircrafts, but the problem comes when a change to bit aircraft like the zibo 737 or b777, instruments do not work in fully options some they work and other do not work, for examplo, if i am using the multi panel isntruments, heading might be working but altitude will not work even if you have to assign it again, help please
Hi Flaviano, I don't use Spad. Try the support form for Spad, it will help you more. Cheers!
Just a question. Do you know if logitech flight pro radio panel and switch panel work well with the new flight simulator 2020 ?
Ye, no word on that 92.... but its got to happen. I have loads of that gear! : )
they are supposed to now, but there is laggy dials on the radio panels. you turn the knob and it takes several seconds for the LED display to report, thus causing all kinds of problems. Dials not responding, dials responding dreadfully slowly, LED disappearing, Not sure if SPAD fixes all those problems but it would be great if SPAD had a built-in latency timer so that you could tell how quickly the responses make it from the dial to the LED panel.
Have you every tried the xsaitekpanels driver / software that some one came up with to try and eliminate all the USB connection problems? And is all you are using is the Logitech Drivers that you show in you TH-cam videos? I just switched to Win10 and also just switched to Xplane and i am using this xsaitekpanels plugin and it is working with everything but the Multi panel, it only works a little bit. I had all the panels working with W7 and FSX for a long time but i was using Spad and things worked pretty good. What i cant seem to find out if i need FSUIPC and Flywith Lua also installed with Xplane to get all the panels working again. I checked to make sure the USB ports are not turning off automaticlly. Do you think the new Logitech G panels are different than the older Saitek panels? I am like you, i don't know why it is so hard to get these panels to work with these smart computers.
Hi Beech, Logitech G panels are easier to install than older Saitek panels. I didn't buy the older Saitek panels, as I saw issues with other people trying to install them. I just installed the drivers and it all worked fine! : )
Just got my panel this morning and have been trying to get it to work for 3 hours, no luck. As soon as I open flight sim x, it lights up for 5 seconds with a bunch of 0’s displayed then cuts out. Tried buying a new powered USB hub to be able to support the power output from all of my devices still no luck. On then off. So disappointing
I'm about to get my panel to hopefully play with MS2020. What ended up happening for you? Did you fix it?
its really funny to use it in xplane where the ATC is so bad it makes FS2004 look good its almost pure irony
First!!! :P
Well done!
After going through the software download anyone having issues with the radio stack and the mult i panel still not working?
I eventually got it working for flight Sim X steam but now I'm having issues getting them to work with 2020
@@kyleowen8114 I just went through all of the drivers lol
Do you know if this works with DCS as well?
It does Jordan, and I'm planning to make a video of it! : )
@@GripperSim In that case I'll stay tuned. Thank you for your reply
Anyone else having problems viewing the video? Audio comes through fine but the video is all corrupted and green. First 15 secs is fine (viewing on mobile device) UPDATE: it was my device at fault. Great vid.
It happened to me too.
Odd, Its fine now..
Is it a different driver download than the switch panel that has the landing gear?
Yes, they have different drivers Jack. : )
@@GripperSim That may have changed. There seems to be one driver now.
Thanks for this video! However, when I install the drivers and SW from Logitech, my Frame Rate goes to less than ZERO! like .20-.40...no kidding! Uninstall them, and i'm back to normal...reinstall them, and WHAM! It is disturbing and frustrating that you simply got a "plug and play and it worked" reaction from yours! What the heck could be wrong here?
I should add I'm on a 2060 RTX, with an i7-6700 processor, and I tried this with a CLEAN install of XP11 with the default (and even lower!) graphics settings, and got no differences! ANY help would be great!
I sometimes wonder if you could try and speak even faster then you are speaking now !!
I must have done something wrong, but I cannot get the radio panel to work. It displays zeros when I boot up X-Plane11, and then goes dark as soon as the program starts. I've installed the software downloads from Saitek as you showed in the video. I have a Seitek Yoke & throttle quadrant & seitek rudder pedals. I plugged the radio panel into the yoke. Help! I don't know what to do to make it work. Thanks for any help.
Hi Paul, odd it worked for me straight away when I installed it. The best way to go - is contacting Saitek support. Did you remove the drivers and install them again to ensure you didn't miss a step?
is your xplane 11 directory downloaded on your C:drive? I believe when you download the drivers from Logitech site, they only install automatically to your xplane directory if your xplane directory is on the C:drive. Otherwise you will need to physically drag the driver or software you downloaded to the plugins folder in the xplane directory.
@@TheZeroSynergy Hi... I bought it through Steam, and the directory is indeed on the C: drive:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\X-Plane 11
However, I don't know what file I am looking for to verify that the driver was installed. I will be contacting Saitek support today. Thanks.
how many frames did you lose using these cheapo panels?
@@harpoon_bakery162 After I sold the radio panel, I didn't notice the frame rate changing much.
looks like those cheap LEDs get dimmer and brighter when you fiddle with the frequencies, just such a disappointment. Why would they do that? looks like the Printed Circuits have some resistance issues where they feed into the LEDs and the design must be really really cheap....do you see the same issues? I can see it on the video so it must be more than evident in-person that the LEDs have segments that are brighter and dimmer as you move through the digits. China Cheap type of scenario playing out there or is it not that noticeable when you are flying? How does Logitech get away with this? Was hoping for a bit more quality as I was going to drop 300 usd for two of these so i can have both COM1 and COM2 and NAV1 and Squawk codes input and displayed at the same time. But the LEDs and the left switch hard to turn issues might be a deal breaker, what do you think? and thanks for posting this video and taking the time to produce it !!
These things were originally designed (and sold) by Saitek ... the worst company in the history of gaming peripherals. I have always stayed away from anything with the name Saitek on it. Logitech bought them out and just rebranded the same junk ... lots of people have problems but they just don't care as they already have your money.
I wish these panels would be redesigned by competent people with better quality parts.
@@Mr_Spock512 my radio panels are lagging so much that I always overshoot the frequency. I've tried LORBY (free) but not sure why it's not responsive like the video.
@@Mr_Spock512 Attempting to call Logitech is like trying to pass a kidney stone. Called held for 30 minutes then it hung up. Called again, guy answers after 30 minutes says he has to transfer me to someone who handles "gaming" , i chose the "gaming" support option to start with. I'm sure it's another 30 minutes wait for the "gaming" idiot, who will simply pull up the .PDF cheesy manual that has no help in it whatsoever.
Does it work with any plane? PMDG Boeing, Flightsimlabs Airbus, Leonardo md80
I'm only using X-Plane 11 at the moment Alessandro and it works on all my aircraft in a logical manner, the 737, C172 etc etc. I've not yet found an aircraft that it does not work with. Thanks for your comment! : )
@@GripperSim i there, i have all the instruments panel, i use spad,next they all work perfectly with general aviation aircrafts, but the problem comes when a change to bit aircraft like the zibo 737 or b777, instruments do not work in fully options some they work and other do not work, for examplo, if i am using the multi panel isntruments, heading might be working but altitude will not work even if you have to assign it again, help please
I just got this panel and spent a day pulling my hair out. Turned out it would only work with a USB 2 port on my motherboard. No other port would recognize this panel. Hope this helps someone.
am having the same problem how can i solve it
same here! Usb 2 doesn't seem to work either for me....
Interesting that this costs $32 more in the U.S. than in the U.K., and $55 more if one considers that the U.K. price includes 20% tax.
Maybe I've made a mistake, they are Amazon Prices.... I'll have a look. Thanks.
Ye, that's Amazon Prices (Don't forget currency). If you find it cheeper let me know. : )
@@GripperSim for two of them on amazon with tax it's 300 us dollars, which is a lot of money. You probably could buy all the parts of a MUCH better quality and make your own, yes it will not look as prefab as these ones made in china but you certainly can tell they were made in a cookie-cutter fashion. very hard to fathom. 300 for two? wow Logitech, ripped anyone off lately?
CAN U HELP I CANT FIND THE DRIVERS ON LOGITEKS WEBSITE IT SEEMS TO BE BROKEN CAN U GIVE ME A WORKING LINK NOT TO THE SUPPORT SITE BUT TO THE DOWNLOADS PAGE
It should be on their main website Henry.
well best of luck if you have a fault in Logitech panel or product...... Their Customer service is by far the worst I have ever come across.. I bought a new panel from Logitech in Ireland three months ago... The knob was loose from day one and informed them giving all details nicely. Actually I just wanted advice on how to tighten it to save sending it back but was told -doing so would destroy the warranty... (What warranty?????)).. Spent months emailing getting same email asking for Invoice details , address even had to send a video of the problem, all within the 30 day warranty...They do nothing at all, and treat you like an idiot. I wanted to buy a Logitech throttle quadrant and yoke but no way now..Pathetic terrible Customer service.
helo you can pls send driver for p3d v4 pls for my radio panel thank you xd
Not Good enough. I have all 3 panels, they wont work on MSFS 2020, cant get them to work anymore on P3D , dont know why. All the tutorials i see say use Spad and other programs to get them to work. This is not good enough. Over the years I have spent thousands of pounds on simulator equipment. I think Logitech should not sell gear that requires other programs to make it work. Get your act together if you want to stay in this market.
XP 11 works.
Got my panel today. When starting xplane11 it will light up for a few seconds. But then it dies
dude im having the same problem
Niklas Ohlsson where you able to fix the problems with your radio panel?
Tyler Gimblin is it working correctly now?
Sky Hawk no, I’ll plug it in but my computer doesn’t recognize it as well as my game.
If you have a MAC you will need to go to the X-Plane.org site and get this file: "Xsaitekpanels (lin+win+mac+32/64) 2.75". (you need to create a free account) Make sure to thank the developer!!!
Brilliant Thanks for letting us know Michael! : )
STOP putting background music to videos with *narration* .. it ONLY makes it HARDER to hear what you are saying and is VERY distracting ... EVERYONE STOP DOING THIS.. we are NOT here to listen to music !!
