Update: I know I said 2.0 is all you need, if you only have 3.0 that should also work because they're backwards compatible.
AMD Ryzen 9 Chips have been having issues with USB connectivity. Specifically with MSI 550 boards. Your devices sometimes drops connections and reconnects even with a powered hub. That is AMD and MSI issue, not the drivers or USB devices themselves. PCMag has reported AMD is well aware of the issue and plan to release an update in April 2021, just an FYI.

Thank you!
I've watched about a dozen videos on the instrument panel guages, this is the ONLY one that I've found that mentiones the need to download the actual driver as a separate thing. I don't think the order of install (plugin or driver) is critical because you can just restart the plugin, but I'm shocked that the plugin doesn't come with the driver. thanks.
I couldn’t find anything prior to installing these things. So, decided to help people. As the days move on I’m sure they’ll update this, making this video Useless. Thanks for the comment!
You dont know how long i have been trying to find out why my instrument panel wasn’t really working so thank goodness for you just your time to make this video
Trust me! I know! I couldn’t find anyone on TH-cam with this information! So I started digging through forums. I have a full external cockpit só if you run into any other issues, I’ll try my best to help. Don’t forget to like and subscribe! I’m also on Facebook gaming: PortugueseFlyingStew, look me up!
I don't know why there are ANY clicks on 'thumbs down', as reading through all the comments you are the most helpful I've seen on y'tube.
I too really appreciate the information you've provided.
I figured when purchasing the Logitech Flight package that all would be plug and play, but also finding out there were no setup instructions in any of the boxes was truly disappointing, especially considering the cost of this stuff.
A humongous thanks to all the time you've put into this and for sharing - well done !
I hear you on that! It was a true pain but doing the search myself, couldn’t find anyone going over the installation. Hopefully, Logitech gets their act together and updates their stuff to make this video obsolete. Thank you for the kind words, it really means a lot. Don’t forget to like and subscribe!
Thank you. Logitech should be as up to date as this video, which is over 2 years old as I write this. My new gauges are up and running thanks to you!
I still can’t believe this video is still relevant. So you’re welcome.
Just had to add my thumbs up to you for your wonderfully helpful tutorial. I, like many others, have been spared the frustration brought about by (shall I say) incompetent vendors! Individuals like you are a blessing to all. I am even more impressed by your willingness to respond to your viewers/subscribers. Saying thank you just doesn't seem like enough.
Appreciate the feedback! Glad after all this time it’s still working out for people. Don’t forget to subscribe, since you already liked!
Thanks! Saved me a bunch of time and trouble! This worked fine for Windows 11. It’s Feb 23, 2024 now. Still no support from Logitech!
Unreal! I’m glad it’s still working for people!
Thank you very much for this video. As soon as I downloaded the second set of drivers that you mentioned, my panels lit up immediately. You are the man for helping me out with this. You leveled up, bonus points, extra man. 🙏 Thanks!

Just finished a test flight; all 3 working in Flight Simulator - Awesome!
Nice!
This worked for me straight away :) Logitech should announce that you need this old version, base version
For sure! It was a bit of a pain when the one on the site didn’t work for me. As they update their stuff I’m sure this video will eventually be obsolete. But, for now this is what we gotta do! Thanks for the comment! Glad it worked and don’t forget to like and subscribe!
@@PortugueseFlyingStew already did :) Yeah this equipment is quite expensive so it needs to work as intended, but for now with this method i think it works just like they should. But sadly some people dont investigate enough and then people will just return the unit. I got quite impressed when i tested this quality unit out, it can even do stuff on the buttons, parking brake for example etc etc which is amazing, you can also edit the images to be better or the idle screen to not show advertizing about products, you can just simply change them.
But im wondering if its any HD quality image gauges out there to be downloaded.
Thank you very much, now I can fly with my Switch Panel, Multipanel and the FIP :)

Thanks for this perfectly done assist. I've been all day googling about and finally found the treasure that worked. Windows 11 and it worked just fine.
Not a problem at all. Can’t believe my video is still relevant and that Logitech hasn’t fixed this installation setup yet.
Thanks!! You saved me a lot of hours setting up. Could have done it even quicker if I decided to watch your WHOLE video instead of scrolling back and forth impatiently :-)) Thanks you took the time to share your knowledge!
I know the video is dragged out a bit but I wanted to make sure I covered all the issues I ran into. Even plugging in the hub etc. glad it’s still working! You would think Logitech would have this squared away by now.
Thanks for this. I have to restart my computer each session, but it all works. Now, I wish that Logitech would update things so that the left-hand side buttons would function.
Agreed!!!
@@PortugueseFlyingStew Yea, whey dont they work? just nonsense!
@@derdiedasBY I’m still trying to figure out how to make that happen. I’ll see if I can make a video soon about it.
So happy I found your tutorial, it would have taken me forever to figure this out, So, Thank you so much, I just got this instrument and was trying to get it to work, now it works perfectly. I am a new subscriber.
Thank you so much for the feedback! I’m working on something new. It’s seems the flight instrument panels don’t come on when you start the PC. You have to unplug them or disconnect your hub every time you wanna run flight sim. I’m working with Logitech to find a solution to this very annoying problem. I’ll post a new video once I find out how to work around this issue.
@@PortugueseFlyingStew I don't usually shut my computer down, but I did notice after I get out of the sim the screen stays on in the advertising mode showing you the Saitek panels etc. I will keep an eye out for your update. Thank you again for your help.
I shut my computer down for a few days just to verify with you that the instruments do not come back on once the computer is fired up again, I must say mine do come on every time. So I do not seem to have that issue, Just thought you should know. Thanks again.

My pleasure, I can’t believe this tutorial is still going. I’m begging for Logitech to make this video obsolete. Don’t forget to smash that like button and consider giving me a follow!
If like me you bought the radio and/or switch panel and/or multi panel first and installed them. Then I bought the FIP and it didn't work! I found I had to go back to square one and DELETE the devices in device manager and UNINSTALL the plugin before going through the sequence shown in this excellent video. Then everything worked. If you buy the FIP first then you should have no trouble installing the other panels afterwards and you would wonder why other people were having problems.
Thankyou.. now I can sleep. Wont have to call in sick tomorrow morning...lol!!
Thank you, this really helped and saved me hours of trouble.😀

Thank god I found this... after 3 weeks trying to sort this with 11days waiting for support from Logitech (what a joke they are) tonight I am looking forward to trying your solution. To be honest its disgraceful that they are selling this kit with no clear instructions on installation and what files need to be downloaded, the driver download page on the website is a total mess with absolutely no clear pointers on what is needed. Let alone a link to the driver files. Had it not been the fact that I had spent in excess of £1000 on these doorstops I would have thrown them out, even the flight multi panel autopilot has driver and installation issues which again was solved by other users with no help from Logitech. Anyway thanks for this fingers crossed
You’ll get it to work. Trust me, I know how it felt. I was ready to use them as hockey pucks. Don’t forget to like and subscribe! Thanks for the comment. An update, 3.0 USB will work because it’s backwards compatible 2.0. But if you’re using a hub. Hub goes into 3.0 port.
@@PortugueseFlyingStew Works !! Mucho Obrigao Boa Noite

I complained to Logitech support and they finally sent me the links to the driver and plug in
They now display my pre-selected guages from before the issue

Thanks so much, this is certainly a great help. I had to uninstall all Logitech devices and Applications & ran CCleaner to fix the registry. After that I followed your method and voila its working.

Thank you! It's a shame with how little software and setup information this product comes, (basically none) and the cluttered software download page does not help... It presumed I was on Windows 11 and didn't even present me the actual driver at first (only the plugin I already had). After installing the correct driver the panel came to life, I already presumed it to be DOA.

H i there and a happy new year. Hope I can still say that... I ran into a problem after experiencing exactly the issues you so wonderfully described. My trouble did not end though: Upon installing the second driver froom the softpedia, the PC shows a kind of white "install screen" with a prompt INSTALLING STUFF and does not end anymore. In the end I just closed the window after 30 minutes showing this message. The LCD-panel remains black unfortunatly.... Regards & a huge "thank you" for answering in advance in case you have any ideas.
You can always uninstall your devices in Device manager and start over. Look under Human Interface Devices, see if your Flight panels are picked up there and uninstall them to start fresh. If not there check other directories in device manager to see if you find them. In the video it shows you how to identify them if they're not clearly labeled as such. There could be a lot of different things. 1. Not enough power supplied if you have more than one device plugged into a USB Hub. You can figure that out by just working with one device at a time. As soon as you reach your maximum devices per hub, they will not power on when you have too many. You have to split the devices amongst other USB hubs if there isnt enough juice. The remaining black part sounds like something I ran into. Try that and see if I'm right. Its been awhile since I've been in front of my sim, because I'm away flying professionally but I'm almost certain its a power issue. Don't hold me to it. But go one by one to check.
Thank you so so much for the fast reply. By the way: Funny how small a world it is... I fly for a living as well :-) @@PortugueseFlyingStew
Hi there. I'm experiencing the same issue as you. The .exe just displays INSTALLING STUFF and doesnt' end. Were you be able to fix it?
@@KiwomensGood afternoon from germany and sorry that I only am able to answer now shortly before easter. However: My problem was solved rather easily. I went back to the basics. As such, I wrote Logitech Support a kind mail and they sent me a link for a suitable driver to be downloaded. (Works flawlessly) Having said that, I would love to share it with you but cannot find that mail with the particular link anymore unfortunatly. My advice therefore is to contact Logitech and describe your problem. They happened to be very helpful and answered very quickly.
Kind regards
Great video I just purchased 3 instrument panels your info was very helpful. Now all are working. Do the buttons on left side work in msfs ?
I’ve never set them up. I’m sure there is a way to map them. Wish I had more information for you.
@@PortugueseFlyingStew Thank you. I heard that they only work with x plane. Just flew from PDX to NY in a Cessna longitude it all works perfectly

Update: FIP driver installed for Windows 7. The FIP displays serial number as well as other advertisements (which is normal after driver install). The latest Logitech plug-in for Flight Instrument Panel (MSFS_Plugin_x64_Software_8.0.313.0) from Logitech's website,was then run.
When FSX starts up, no changes occur to the FIP. Same serial number display w/ rolling advertisements of Logitech flight products. Where is FIP configured? The buttons (S1-S6) have no functionality. There is no configuring it in FSX settings.Having done much research, uninstall & reinstall and looking for TH-cam videos, I haven't found any solutions. In fact, I found others stating the same problem I'm having.
Someone just asked about the S1-S6 buttons and what I found out people are using a third party software to config them. Haven’t tried this myself and I know the software is a paid license. I believe they have a free trial check out this website for more details and if it will work for you www.spadnext.com/

Thanks for the link. I'll try it. I've been in contact with Logitech and they are giving recommendations for calibrating controller axes. It is not a control axis problem.

now i have the following problem. the gauges all work and are read correctly. but the buttons on the instrument panel dont do anything. how do i configure them?
Ok, I have not set those buttons up but there is a 3rd party software you can use. It’s a paid software but I believe it gives you a free trial. I haven’t seen anything in logitech website that helps you but then again I haven’t looked in over a year. See if this helps. www.spadnext.com/
hi Portuguese Flying Stew,I would like to consult about FLIGHT INSTRUMENT PANEL。I tried connecting 6 FIPs to use at the same time ，But only two can be displayed。When I restart my computer, all 6 can be used at the same time。Please ask what is the problem？Is it a USB HUB problem?Or the problem of supplying power to the system？
Typically, 6 instruments shouldnt be a problem on a single hub. Check to make sure your hub has power. If it does not have power. Unplug one device at a time and see how many your hub can support before they shut down on you. It might be a power issue. These devices do draw power from the hub. See if that helps You might need to buuy more than one hub to run all 6. But confiirm like in my video, the amps and volts the hub can support.
@@PortugueseFlyingStew Thank you very much for your reply!!!!!Start with up to 2 working simultaneously, and 6 can be used after restarting,But I insert them one by one and they all work again。I'm trying to start all six are working，I think it may be a registry power settings problem，Please provide your comments and suggestions, it will help me a lot
@@eddielee5765 yea, like I mentioned, it might be an issue with the HUB and limitation of how many they can support at the same time. Remember regular 2.0 USB and not a 3.0 USB to be used. You can identify if its 3.0 by the color, it would be blue when you're looking at the slot. The flight instrument panel does draw a tiny bit of power so if you end up drawing too much from the hub, it will most likely turn off some of the devices. I use Sabrent USB found here. amzn.to/3TTN51U
@@PortugueseFlyingStew Thank you very much! How many peripherals have you tried to use together?
@@eddielee5765 I couldn't do more than 8 at a time on one hub
Question re the buttons down the left side of the instruments. Logitech "manual" states they have functions in FSX but have yet to see anything in MSFS 2020 when press the buttons. Perhaps that functionality has not yet been added ??
Correct, I have seen nothing in MFS2020.
This worked! Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome! Be sure to help me get to 1K subscribers!
Thank you so much. Worked as described.
No problem at all!! Glad it worked out!
Fantastic!!!! thanks a lot for that video now my FIPs and panels works great!. A question? I need to do that all process anytime that I want to play?
Nope, once it’s loaded, you fire up the sim and use that Logitech app on your desktop to communicate with the sim and you should be good to go.
I mean, when I want to play the sim, I need to click that logitech app in the desktop? Thanks for your fast response.
@@CarlosELugo yea, if you fire up the sim and you see the instruments don’t load, double click the Logitech app on your desktop but normally every time you load the sim you would have to double click that or you can find another video of mine where all your programs autoload once you start the sim.
Looks like you have a new subscriber
Thank you very much
My panels were working fine in both Xplane and MSFS, now they won’t come on in MSFS 2020 anymore.. Thought? Fix? They still work fine in both Xplane 11 and 12.
Did you do this method and they started working and now they don't? Or you found this video because they stopped working? Either way, did you do the basic troubleshooting? Unplugging all the device and restarting the pc? Also, check to see if the device show up in your device manager as Logitech or if they have just a generic name attached to the profile. I know Flight Sim is doing an update tomorrow, and theyve done various updates recently. I would also wait for the update on MFS2020, see if they resolves anything before trouble shooting.
Also, do they light up at all when you fire u the sim? Or is it the black screen of death? There is so many possibilities right now, but I would have to collect more information. For example, how many are connected to the PC at the same time and do you have a USB HUB or is it plugged directly into the PC?
@@PortugueseFlyingStew I got it working, but still don't know what went wrong. I redownloaded the plugin and clicked on the logitech plugin as well.. Something finally got them to work with MSFS 2020. Thanks for the reply.

Happens the same to me. It just says installing stuff and it never ends. Have you tried anything else?
My logitech panel works without using the driver, i do have to launch the plug in each time I load the sim though, if the radio panel works I am wondering if i can get away with just using the plug in for the flight instrument panel.
The last know driver I was aware of was from 2020. I haven’t checked back in to see if Logitech updated it. But I’m glad you didn’t have to go through at least one of these steps.
Hey how do I get the flight switch panel drivers. I don’t have the instruments I have the switch panel and could really use the help please
They haven’t updated their drivers in a long time but check out this link support.logi.com/hc/en-us/articles/360024693814--Downloads-Flight-Switch-Panel
Thank you so much for this.
You are very welcome!
How do you know which device it is in device manager?
I can only speak for the instrument gauges but it has an identifier attached to the device when you’re looking through device manager. Click on the device listed, it should be in details section. I talk about it in the video, what code to look for.
Hi, is this the same process for Windows 11? I don´t see it listed as supported OS in the Drivers page
I’ve never tested the drivers on Windows 11 since I’m on Windows 10 only. Proceed with caution if you’re going to give it a try but from my recollection, Windows 11 wasn’t on the list.
Windows 11 can only run on 64-bit CPUs. To see if your PC has one, go to Settings > System > About , or search “System Information” in Windows and look under “System Type.”
Drivers type run on Windows 10, 64 Bit
I need "plug-in" & driver for the 6 FIP,'s, radio panel. Installation instructions needed for FSX for Windows 7. Logitech site has "No downloads for this version" for both FIP & radio. I've had no luck with any of this. Any help appreciated.
The flight instrument panel should be take care of with the link in the description. It works on windows 7 as well. Let me see if the radio uses the same driver or if I can’t find another one for you. drivers.softpedia.com/get/KEYBOARD-and-MOUSE/LOGITECH/Logitech-Flight-Instrument-Panel-Driver-8-0-124-0.shtml
Ah yes, I just remembered. The radio panel will work with another software you need to download. I just work with mfs2020. Don’t know if it will work with other flight simulators. In fact, I know they don’t have a driver for the radios listed on the website. Let me get you the applications I use on my desktop. One minute
My apologies, I have the propwash simulation radios. It might not be the same program that works with logitech radio panel. I use FSUIPC application along with PropWashFSX Have you gone through the manual? www.logitech.com/assets/65157/flight-radio-panel.pdf
Sorry i'm late to the party but I'm following you tut and cannot get the drivers to install. I start the driver install with no panels connected, click next then plug in the panels and this is as far as I get, next stays grayed out. Win11
I haven’t tried this on Windows 11. I was working off Windows 10. Check your device manager to see if the computer picks up the device at all. Then uninstall them from the PC. Then try the process over. I would check the driver to see if it supports Windows 11 before proceeding. Most of the people were on Windows 10
Just checked the driver, windows 11 is not on the list. That might be your issue.
Yes my pc did recognise the 2 panels I have. I did remove them before running the drivers as pee your suggestion. I even tried this on my older Windows 10 pc and still freezers at the same point
wait so can you use this without the yoke?
What are you using to control pitch yaw and roll? These operate without the Logitech yoke.

@@davidspadafora8726 I still can’t believe this is working. You would have thought by now logitech would make this video obsolete
My problem is have 6 instruments but generally only one or two come on when all are plugged in. I then unplug and plug back in one at a time for the remainder to get the rest to come on. Don't know if anything in the steps here would help so that all 6 will come on when PC is booted up. Have tried both 2.0 and3.0 powered Hubs that only have the 6 instruments plugged in. I get the same result if each instrument is plugged into a PC USB port. If only have 3 instruments plugged in, 3 will come on; but if 4 still only 3. If all 6 then generally only 1 or 2 come on. During boot up, all 6 will try" to come on. May light up, then blink out or go to a grey screen, then go out.
Problem appears that all 6 cannot come on during boot up or even if Hub plugged in after boot up; seems to require a sequential process of plugging in when more than 3. For a plug in, am using a Logitech 2017 plug in specific for instruments.
Sorry for the late reply. Right now I’m traveling for work and I’m in a different time zone. Ok, right off the bat...my computer is brand new 2021 and they don’t all power on during the boot process. I have to unplug and plug in to get them to power on. Currently working to find a fix for that. Plus it doesn’t help that my motherboard MSI B550 and Ryzen 9 have some sort of USB issue where they keep dropping connection. Some fix is coming for that soon. So confirm you don’t have a 550 and Ryzen chip.
As far as the hub, did you try 3.0 port first and then 2.0? I’ve seen different hubs support between 6 and max 8 to 10. I wouldn’t push it more than 8. I haven’t found a hub that supports these panels more than 8 at a time without running into an issue. If your hub is below a certain amps or not powered, each device will eventually pull a little more power from the hub until eventually you’ll run out of power to keep all 6 running at the same time. I had a 5 amp hub From Amazon, and I pushed it to 10 devices one time. It was working but then I have the issue I mentioned before about the devices disconnecting. I’ve also read with the right hub you should be able to connect a large number of devices to an individual port at a single time.
I would also make sure your drivers for the hub or the usb ports is also up to date. If you give me the type of motherboard I’ll check to see if there are any drivers available for it. There are so many factors, but we can look at it together. Sometimes it’s something else if you’re not getting them all on at the same time. What is your operating system? Specs?

I forgot to clarify, when I said, have you tried 3.0 and 2.0, I meant to say on the board directly. Know you said you tried on the hub 3.0 and 2.0 You have to make sure the hub goes directly into the port on the board that’s supports it. You can always go 3.0 to 2.0 but should avoid going 2.0 to 3.0. 3.0 is backwards compatible but not the other way around. Pull up device manager, see if you get any little yellow warning ⚠️ signs as well.
do you have the links for the multi panel and the radios as well? the secondary links only work for me.
I don’t have experience with the radio and multi panel cause I use another type aside from Logitech. What issue are you running into with those panels?
I feel these are a bit over priced. $170? Each!? Hmmm. There's an Ipad app that does all this for $20 too FYI.
I hear you there. I have 10 of them. So, it does hurt the wallet but I have an actually Cessna Flight Panel plus I use my tablet for Foreflight.
@@PortugueseFlyingStew Nice! Don't get me wrong I love the look and would like to get em, prolly one at a time.
Thanks for this. Although When I installed the second set of drivers and It loaded a panel, my Logitech switch and radio panels no longer work. When I rebooted my PC the flight Panels only load the advert screens and my flight witch and radio panels don't work. Logitech have a lot to answer to... I certainly would recommend any product from Logitech even their support pages are dated. At least I got to see it working for 5 minutes thanks to your video but my advice to any body by these flight Panels from Logitech is DONT DO IT UNLESS YOU WANT TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY AND GET FRUSTRATION watching endless videos for support cause theirs is S##T
I don’t have the radio and switch panel cause I use a different brand, so I don’t know if it requires the same steps as the instruments or if it’s a plug n play style. I would try deleting the device/driver for the radio and switch and reinstalling those two devices. You can also roll back the driver for each of those devices. I know Logitech doesn’t offer much support. Sorry you weren’t as successful as others in the comments. You can always go back to square one and delete all the Logitech devices and start fresh.
@@PortugueseFlyingStew Thanks for this, yeah I deleted the flight panels from device manager and yes when I plugged them in again they worked. But not my Logitech switch and radio panels. Anyways this is not your issue to resolve and I thankyou for your initial vid as the info contained is not in their 3 lines in their very well package box on how to installed their product. I do like how you responded to my comment so therefore I will subscribe as well and look forward to your new content
I am wondering if you or anyone has had an issue with a Logitech flight instrument panel? Where the upper RED arrow stays solid on one of the panels. The lower arrow remains off. The panel itself has a blank screen. Anything I do, driver updates, recycle panel, change cables, plug directly into a computer bypassing a hub. Does not awken the beast. Logitech seems to think it is not working. I kinda already thought that was the case. But would be nice if anyone has had a similar problem to confirm there is a fix .. or it's just buggered. Thank you.
You ever get to power on and run with the sim at all?
@@PortugueseFlyingStew Yes, but it stopped working after awhile. All the other flight panels work and boot up well.
@@infocusphotographyandvideo Ive been back and forth with Logitech for weeks now. The panels are only suppose to work on 2.0 Ports. That includes the hubs as well. I can only get 5 panels to boot up at a time. They did stop responding at some point as well but I just went back and followed the steps in my video. I would avoid 3.0 ports all together. That’s how far I’ve gotten with them. I’m still working on getting all of my 10 panels to fire up when the PC turns on. At min you should have the Home Screen display when they power on. I would go into your device manager and uninstall all the panels and start over from scratch.
@@PortugueseFlyingStew Thanks for the input. I have found using both a USB 2.0 and 3.0 hub that the panels work well every time I fire up the computer. I use a two separate USB 2.0 ports on the computer to plug the hubs into. So my thinking is that the USB 3.0 hub is seen as a USB2.0 through the eyes of the computer. Well it seems to be fine.. as time will tell. I have 7 panels in use at this time.
Here is Logitech's advice
• Uninstall A Logitech controller driver first support.logi.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023361053
• Unplug that Panel and Reboot your computer
• Use USB 2.0 instead of 3.0/.1 because using 3.0/.1 has issue on data transfers where a FIP might occasionally stop working or become unresponsive.
• Make sure to install the updated driver;

32 bit - download01.logi.com/web/ftp/pub/techsupport/simulation/Flight_Instrument_Panel_x86_Drivers_8.0.150.0.exe
• Bypass USB hub and plug directly into PC
• Powercycle the device.
1. Unplug the Panel
2. Wait for 15 seconds before reconnecting the Panel
3. Reconnect the Panel
4. Test and observe if the issue is gone.
• Ensure latest plug-ins are installed
• Test on another computer / flight sim to isolate the issue

Do You know the cause of this issue? If I turn the frequency selector, regardless of whether it is COM or NAV, it is the active frequency that is modified on the left display (NOT THE ONE IN STAND BY) this is really an inconvenience, I can use de freq change ¡¡¡.
Are you talking about the Logitech Radio panels? Are you running another application with the panel and the flight simulator?
I’ve seen panels being set to the same Channel by accident or default. I would recommend looking into Spadnext or FSUIPC7.
@@PortugueseFlyingStew I have a Spad next license, however, using this software with MSFS frames drop critically ( I do not why) So, I tried to use just Logitech pluggin, and I get a very decent experience. But, I need to change frequencies Flying IFR. It is no possible to use fsuipc7 without spad. It is crazy to watch how changes the wrong display !!!
Hi wanted to ask a little help if possible. I followed everything perfectly of what i believe. Now, when i try to open the Logitech software, it states that " There is arleady an instance of this plugin running" and wont let me open this. Any ideas?
The panels i have are arleady showing ads and different instruments while opening fsx but are just frozen
So you’re half way there. Fire up the simulator, once it says there is already an instance of this plugin you don’t have to click it again. Just load the flight in the simulator and you’ll see then come online. They will only display the instruments once the simulator is running.
@@milesvelarde4347 try restarting your computer. They shouldn’t be freezing.
Thanks for your video. Hmmm, once i download the files on Sofpedia (from the mirror site, as the US one leads to Forbidden 403), i click on install, and a white screen "Installing stuff" appears and never leaves. Am I doing something wrong? And we don't see the 2 folders appear. Thanks
I’m sorry you’re running into an issue with the site. I just tested the site and it’s working fine for me. Please check the type of browser you’re using. Also, are you in another country? Do you have a VPN? Just some things that might give you a forbid error.
@@PortugueseFlyingStew thanks so much for your prompt response... I'm from Canada, maybe that's why? but I don't understand why the mirror link would not work... and no vpn indeed (good question though), I used chrome first, then Edge, same result, with the "Installing stuff" message once the files are downloaded... For now, I'll write to MS to put some pressure... maybe the next patch is coming... thanks for your help! and if you have other ideas, please go ahead :)
@@dominiquefortin2196 try turning on a VPN and select United States when accessing the website. See if that works. As you can see others are having success getting the file. I can also take it a step further if you want. I can download the file and place it into google docs and you can download from there. It just won’t be right at this moment since I’m traveling at the moment. Let me know if you wanna do that instead if you can get it to work.
Ah you're nice, I'll switch on my vpn when i'll be back home, i'll keep you posted
ok i set the VPN in the states, I don't have the forbidden message anymore BUT, once I open the install files (Flight_Instrument_Panel_x64_Drivers), i click "I accept", Next, then it tries to install something, it tells me to unplug, I click on Next and then i get the same message as with the other link: "Installing stuff", with no progress bar or anything... is this a normal behavior? is it suppose to be so long? thanks :)
this panel work with dcs ????
You might need an emulator. github.com/DCSFlightpanels/DCSFlightpanels
The flight instument panel download is stuck loading plz help
It might not be readily available in all countries. So my recommendation is Make sure you have some type of VPN working in the background to get you access to the download. Ive had someone else have the same issue.
Also, try downloading from my Google docs file. Should be the second set of links below in the description.
My left ear enjoyed the tutorial
Haha some folks on Samsung devices say they don’t hear an issue but on iPhone, turning the vídeo into landscape does something to the audio. Im still working on that with streamlabs. They think I’m crazy when I tell them that issue. Hopefully you found the video useful. Thanks for stopping by!
@@PortugueseFlyingStewI was playing it in Windows trough my headphones, definitely a audio channel issue :)
Could this work for windows 11 pro?
@@Eliweaver04 I’ve had a couple try but I can’t promise you it will. Since the drivers haven’t been updated for windows 11. Only supports 10.
@@PortugueseFlyingStewdang yeah I have the Logitech gauges and they worked fine for my old PC (windows 10) I finally got back on the simulator but had a PC upgrade in the process 😕
Do you know if it works with windows 11?
Correction, windows 11 is not on the list. But if you wanna give it a try, because that driver hasn’t been updated in awhile.

@@PortugueseFlyingStew Sim.
Just bought this product and let me say the Logitech customer experience and product support is complete garbage. Literally, the worst I've experienced in my life. I've been building home cockpits for 20 years and I work in tech. The fact that I had to search a TH-cam video for this information is complete BS. Will a competent management team PLEASE buy these clowns out?
I've downloaded free software from amateur developers with less of a headache. I HATE Logitech. They're the laziest POS on Earth. Every other product works out of the box.
I hear you. I can’t believe this video is still relevant after all this time. Thought they would have fixed it by now. Hope it worked out for you.
@@PortugueseFlyingStew It did work for me. Your video was extremely helpful. I hope Logitech is compensating you for making their product work.
