Hi Everyone! I am aware that USB 3 is backward compatible with USB 2 etc. Years ago I was informed that the then, Saitek Panel, had to be USB 2 ONLY, this has either been fixed by Logitech, or I was missinformed all those years ago. Either way, I'll take all the feedback on the chin! I'm only learning too. But it works fine, just ignore my error with the USB confusion in the video. Thanks, GripperSim.
I didn't replay Charlie! Sorry, I must have missed your comment! I hope its still working well for you! Sorry for the late reply, and thanks for commenting! : )
Hey man! Great video! Just purchased this yesterday but I was wondering if you can map the switches? Some payware aircraft won’t let the switch panel do its job so to speak... so I want to know if I could actually go in and change the buttons manually, but I can’t find it no where! Much love!
Hi Craig, I think there is a program called "spad", I'm not sure how it works but I know there is something out there that will allow you to do that. Have a look on the forums! Thanks for watching! : )
Very well executed informative review. Has helped make my decision to buy the panel. I've been uming-and-aghing for a while over this panel and its use in X-plane. Thank you kind sir!
Succinct, informative and entertaining.....as always. I've been hesitant (actually struggling) to purchase any controls such as this thinking that once I go VR, they will be useless. Do you use VR as well from time to time?
I do Jack, I think VR is great! But you are right, you have to remember where the switches are with muscle memory... I'll let you know how I get on! The HOTAS is great for that in DCS world.
@Jack Flash. Maybe I'm old fashioned but whether I have VR or not, which I don't (yet), by the way, I'll always prefer hardware equipment with buttons and switches that I can feel and touch. Plus it looks bloody good in the set-up!
Hi there, I'm interested in this instrument. But unlike many people here I don't have a yoke. I'm using a Logitech Extreme 3d stick. Can I still make it work with mine? Is it compatible?
@@GripperSim Thank you kindly, I already bought the switch panel. I was so eager I couldn't wait for your reply. I think it's great. I don't know how long it will last but it looks really sturdy. I feel more like a pilot with this. Cheers. :)
Thanks Travis! I'm delighted you enjoy the channel! Anytime you have any constructive criticism (Sound, content, etc) I'm all ears, as the channel has only improved through the contribution of subscribers comments. Thanks again! : )
@@GripperSim To be honest i don't really mind that so i'm the worst person to ask. You can be speaking into a pair of iphone's earbuds mic, and i wouldn't mind. Is what you say that makes me stick around. Also great job on showing where and what to get. My sorry ass couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work in X-Plane 11 after reading the manual...
@@GripperSim Can you send me the direct link for the plugin download, when I go on the website now it doesn't work, like the xplane subtitle is shit and doesn't open
Hi! Great video! I currently have the switch panel but I was wondering if you knew how to customize the controls for xplane? For some airplanes it does not work. Thank you
Did you stick it down with 3m tape or what else did you do as I remove my my flight sim gear from my desk when playing other games and don't know what to do about this as I want It to be sturdy and not on top of my yoke.
I've done some glass etching myself, but this is next level. Well done sir. Sounds to me like someone needs to launch a web store for Reaction Review swag!
another great job....I have used the Saiteks for quite awhile..agree on the feel, but the immersion factor is undeniable. BTW, your YOKO review link is broken?
Hi Dave, Thanks for telling me the link was broken! Actually there was about 4 links broken! You have made my day! I'll also be looking at the Radio Panel and the LCD multi-instrument controller, I'm waiting to open them for the review's in the coming weeks, I can't wait! Thanks again, I really appreciate it! : )
Hola: acabo de instalar el FS 2020 y me funciona todo lo de Saitek menos el swicht panel, podrias darme una idea de que puede ser ? tengo el windows 10 v 1909, estaba funcionando en Steam y ahora no me funciona, gracias
I downloaded the one for fsx but I use fsx steam edition. People keep saying install spad which is bullcrap. Is there an easier way to do this? If yes please link me.
i notes that all of your drivers belong to X Plane , what about FSX ? i have all of these instruments but they are not working well , can you please show how to fix this issue with FSX ? thanks
Nice video! Im new to Xplane so I need help getting everything I bought for FSX to work. This is a whole different ballgame for real. P.S. how much toilet paper will you take for that Trim Wheel? lol Those things are like gold now evidently
Guys, a desperate X-Plane sim pilot here. How do you map your own commands to the switches? I’ve been able to download and run premade sets, but haven’t been able to do my own as I can’t find the commands myslef :(
Although I've not used it, I believe a program called "Spad" should do the trick: www.spadnext.com/discover/discover/x-plane-edition.html Hope that helps Jakub!
@@GripperSim Unfortunately SPAD seems to be the only real solution for these products. It's like Logitech doesn't want to support the products really. My Saitek radio panel would refuse to display the transponder code. Then when I switched to Windows 10 it straight up refused to work period. But with SPAD I like that I can make it do whatever I want. Sure it's an additional cost but if you really like flight sim, it's a great tool for control mapping and panel control.
There is a problem with the 747 as it doesn't work with it for me, when I flick any of the master switches the game crashes.. Apart from that its perfect
I just got it for Christmas. When I plugged it in it didn’t work, so I downloaded the software for it on the Logitech website. I opened it but it never gave instructions like the website said. After it opened and I accepted some things it said “finish” and that was it. I unplugged it during the download like the website said. Could someone help?
I just installed though i would like to know how i would be able to configure thesse controls mannualy as you said something about but it was so quick and unclear could you please send me a link?
Actually Ahmed, by default it will start both at the same time! There is a way to have two panels for each engine... you can use a program called "spad" but I've not used it. Thanks for watching!
Just a tip for the future... ... USB is a backwards compatible standard. So, USB 3.X can do everything before it. But, it's not forward compatible. So, USB 2.0 (for example) can't run USB 3.0 devices, but can run USB 1.X devices. I hope that's clear. :)
For most of the cases USB3.0 device will run with USB 2.0 host, using this backwards compatibility, exceptions being devices that really need the bandwidth. Rest will run, just slower.
No Diplex, but there is software you can get to configure it if you wish, I can't remember the name of it right now, but google "Saitek panel configuration" and it should come up. I've not every had the need to change the controls as it works for each aircraft nicely! : )
Works perfectly in DCS. You need to use DCSFlightPanels. Which incidentally will let you map the switches to any keyboard press to work with lots of other games too. forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=137670
I'm not sure what you expected for the money....everything saitek makes feels like a childs toy....and to use any other material other than plastic would be much more expensive ....still it seems overpriced
Ah, what are ya going to do Manuelkong. Its does the job well, I feel. I'm still happy with mine, in fact I bought a few of the panels for instruments etc. I hope yours is working out well. Thanks for commenting! : )

Hay Jack, I'm glad the video helped! : )
Yes - Compared to the radio and multi panel, this switch panel is expensive, I still bought it :)

Do you know if these panels are working for Flight Simulator 2020 yet?
Hi there, I'm interested in this instrument. But unlike many people here I don't have a yoke. I'm using a Logitech Extreme 3d stick. Can I still make it work with mine? Is it compatible?

Delta 2349 no they are not
Just got mine and it does not work, raging.
@Colin Baker I returned mine and the replacement worked perfectly. Seems to be a bad batch on the round.
I'm not happy to hear that! Sounds like a bad batch! If it's still not working let me know! I'll make a video about it. Anyone else having problems?
Will a Logitech control panel work with xp11
Can i install it on mac 🖥?
I think you can.. Have a look at the Logitech website and they will tell you. If you can't find it let me know. Cheers Gripper Sim.
Wish I was able to set this up to other games other than just X-plane 11 or FSX. I wanted to set it up to DCS and Arma 3 but couldn't sadly....
There may be some guy out there that made a mod for DCS?
Works perfectly in DCS. You need to use DCSFlightPanels. Which incidentally will let you map the switches to any keyboard press to work with lots of other games too.

I installed it but It does not work ): can someone help me.

I cant get mine to work for the life of me...
I am surprised that a person with a high quality yoke like a Yoko would put this re-branded Saitek stuff in their sim.
Oh I have my reasons! : )
all USB ports are backwards compatible :)
