I've read a few reviews about Saitek panels not working with FS9...does anyone know if this is true. i was all set to purchase one (Multi Panel) on line then I read that.

I'm currently using the following Saitek Instruments with Windows 7 and FS9.1 without any issues:

Saitek ProFlight Yoke and Throttle
Saitek Rudder Pedals
Saitek Switch Panel
Saitek Multi-Panel
Saitek Radio Panel

This is my setup here in Iraq:).

For advanced functionality (beyond stock GA panels) you'll want to use Massimo's "Saitek Panels Advanced Driver" or SPAD. He offers it free, but takes donations, and absolutely essential if you want some freedom with Saitek panels. It's available here:

Hope this helps

Nice setup...I tried to download the driver but when I click on the file name to download it Internet explorer can't find the page. Is the driver available anywhere else?

Thanks.

I just downloaded it from the link. I'm using Firefox.

I can email it if you like. It's 3.8MB though. PM me an email

I just tried it again this morning and it worked. Maybe the site was down for a few minutes when I tried yesterday. Thanks for the offer though I appreciate it...and happy flying
