Logitech G Saitek Pro Flight Instrument Panel Flight Simulator Dashboard, 3.5 Inch LCD Color Display, 15 Display Options, USB Connection, Modular - Black

I ordered this on Friday after many months of holding back thinking do I really need it and it arrived Saturday.I am so glad I bought it and I will be expanding my collection. The setup is pretty straight forward, you plug the lead in and the driver installs however I do recommend that you go to logitechs website and download the driver from there also.Once you have installed the drivers, start p3d v4 and load your flight, if the display doesn't light up, you need to find the Logitech folder on your pc and the run the application from there which I believe simply activates the display screens and I think that only needs to be done once.Once your flight has loaded, the screen will light up with an instrument display, to toggle through the displays, press the up down arrows, you will see various instrument displays which will respond as you begin your flight.There are buttons on the left side of the display which I believe you can assign various commands although I haven't used them yet.The display comes with a mounting bracket and screws for attaching the display to the bracket.Little tip that I found out, and this applies to the Saitek multi panel as well, go to device manager on your pc and in your usb properties under power management take the tick out of power saver mode as I believe that the USB port goes into sleep mode if there is no activity.As I said at the start, I am going to collect these as I think they will make for a really good cockpit setup so when I order the next one I will update this review with regards to using two.

I love flight sim and when the MSFS 2020 was released it was an amazing step forward, although I still use XPlane 11. Having flown with the military in the past I have a love for proper flying and this product was the answer. I also have the switch units from Logitech. In short this is a really effective and adds to the whole flight sim experience if you enjoy realistic flying, the down side is you must get set up correct and follow the instructions to the letter.First download the complete drivers from the website before connecting, I also found that when you have multiple units make sure you download all the drivers and updates. When I finally had the perfect set up save this on your backup settings. I had one unit and you can scroll through all the screens available using the small arrow buttons, I have decided to purchase a second unit now for navigation, I use one with the multi data screen and the other for navigation aids, also great for engine management. Overall I recommend this product, please make sure though you understand the correct set up, if it does not work correctly the easiest resolve is remove the drivers and the unit, reload and start again, it will work.

I have steadily expanded my home flight sim over the years and amongst other things now have three Logitech radio panels and one Logitech multi-panel. I have found that for reliability, it's best to use powered USB hubs for each device (not supplied). I am running MSFS 2020 on a Windows 10 PC and fly PMDG 737-800 and FBWA32NX. I highly recommend SPAD.neXt to get the most out of these panels. However, unless you are already familiar with this software, expect another learning curve but, trust me, the possibilities are pretty much endless once you know how to create your own custom profiles (YouTube is your friend here). The panels themselves are very well made, mostly from plastic but rotary knobs are metal. The large LED displays are easy to read, even from a distance, and remain flicker-free even after many hours of continued use. Rotary knobs and displays operate in realtime and accurately reflect what is seen in the cockpit with no noticeable latency. Overall, a quality product which looks and feels solid. Each panel is supplied with a plastic bracket which the front panel attaches to using four screws (supplied) enabling the device to be used free-standing or vertically mounted to form a stack using additional screws (supplied).

As the title suggests, this review is for the Pro Flight Switch panel. I am slowly expanding my equipment collection and up until now it has been fine. The problem has started with this product. In itself it is a good product as it appears well built and makes satisfying clicks and it feels like it's built to last, unlike the throttle quadrant.The problem I have with this product is that there is absolutely ZERO customisability in terms of switch configuration. Even worse, in X-Plane 11, it isn't registered as a controller or joypad so you can't configure it there and to add even more dung to the pile, MOST of the switches do nothing. I started looking for solutions but only found really shoddy solutions such as ProUSBPanel which is basically a macro controller.However, all is not lost, do not think that this product is therefore not worth it at all because the saviours over at SPADnext have created SPAD software.This fills in ALL of the gaps for each panel type. With SPAD you can map any switch to any of the plane controls without using keystrokes. Of course, if you cannot find a specific control it lets you do keystrokes and conditional keystrokes too. It's extremely versatile and it absolutely 100% saves the day for Logitech.I give it 4 stars because Saitek/Logitech have basically released a useless product and left it for the community to fill in the large gaps. I will be purchasing the Multi Panel next for AP without worry because SPAD covers that too and makes it very customisable.I would like to say at this point, it is quite a bit of faffing around to set it all up, but I'd still say it's worth it.
