Saitek Pro Flight Instrument Panel users, Attention!

Perhaps old news but, i just recently discovered this:

For those people who use the Saitek Pro Instrument Panel MFD's, be aware!
Your little displays now really become MFD's!
I just downloaded the new drivers due to the fact my anti-virus scanner disabled the devices, and i needed new drivers. After installing i noticed a whole new range of interactive displays are available.
The pages already available have been updated and some six (including an engines page and .....aaaah you have to find out yourselfes)....
I can tell you, IFR will give you a whole new experience. Try flying from these little gadgets after take off, with your monitors off.......(but you need external controls like other panels from saitek).

Download the latest drivers here:

If you don't have these features yet, enjoy!

(examples below, little screens left and right of the main console)

I think ne might be referring to the gauge thingys only. I am not sure if SPAD has drivers for those. I have the BIP that needs the Saitek drivers for it to work while all my others rely on SPAD.

LouP
 
Originally this panel did not interest me, because they only showed one gauge at a time which was not useful. These new features are interesting, however.
 
Warrant,
Im user the others Saitek panels, no MFD, but like is it with refreshment of datas on this MDF and with new drivers/funcions? I see too GPS on Your MFD. It works ?

The GPS button on the MFD's will call upon the GPS as a pop-up on your screen (if programmed in a particular aircraft). In other words, the GPS is not displayed on the MFD's.

As for the rest of your questions, i'm not quite sure if i understand them alright.
The MFD's are real time updated with flight data. They represent the "basic six", and now include 6 more gauges/MFD-windows with different selectables. I'll give more detailled description later.
 
I heard that refreshes if this MFD of Saitek isnt very good (small delay of data from FSX/PC to monitor of MFD - it means - reaction of display), so perhaps You have 100 kts but MFD shows 95 kts which was previously.

Could You be so kind and give us photos of this new functions?
How works engines page? Too same parameters for all aircrafts (on Your pictures see photos with green , yellow line on gauges)?

Thank you for your patience. Im thinking now to buy the one for test, new options looks very interesting.
 
I have a question about F. Instrument Panel of Saitek.
Bought it :) and works fine with 12 panels now! Only, when I dont run FSX I have slideshow with avdertisings of Saitek (5x FIP pictures). The last is the picture with S/N number. What I must do to delate all this pictures including picture with S/N (if I delate only jpg's Fip-1-5 still have this picture with S/N number).

I don want to turn off manually FIP Panel (any 6 buttons). Its a little frustrating. Any Ideas?
