    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

[FONT=&quot]Hello all

I have the Logitech (Saitek) Switch, radio and multi panels. I am trying to get them to work in MSFS (2020). I had them working fine in FSX. I am baffled.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Here is what I have done:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1. Watched pilot Studd's video[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]2. downloaded the latest plug in available. 12/2020[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]3. Installed said plugin[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]4. In control panel set power management NOT to turn them of to save power.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]5. Started MSFS (via FSUIPC)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]6. Panels don't work[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]7. Check to see if plug in was running via task manager ---It wasn't. Exited MSFS.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]8. Started plug in by running as administrator[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]9. Checked task manager to see if it was running it was.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]10. Started MSFS (via FSUIPC)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]11. Get notification that Logitech plugin is already running. I click ok.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]12. Plug in disappears from task manager.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]13. MSFS loads and panels don't work.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I have washed and repeated I don't know how many times. Still not working. Anyone have any other ideas? I'm fresh out.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Thanks in advance Joe[/FONT]

I believe I got it all sorted with spadnext.
 
Sorry I didn't see this earlier. Have you gone to the Logitech website and downloaded their new drivers for the panels? After I installed them, all my panels were immediately recognized and properly configured for each aircraft I selected.


Sorry, just went to Logitech site, and see you do have the latest. Checked mine, and I still have the 10/01/2020 version. Haven't started MSFS in awhile. Will have to download the latest and see if they still work for me. My version of spadnext was not working for me at the time. The Logitech plugins worked perfectly, then.
 
While I don't have Saitek panels, I have almost everything else. I try my best to not use any proprietary with devices in flight sims. If MSFS won't see it as a USB HID, generally FSUIPC or LorbyAxisAndOhs will.

GoFlight panels are different (Hell has no fires hot enough or depths deep enough for hardware makers who abandoned the flock) they are harder to control. Pollygot Software has a payware program that will work, but I find it difficult to use and it will not let me set and go. FSUIPC saw Goflight panels in P3D. I can't remember if they can work with GoFlight in MSFS. Also not sure of Lorby and Goflight.
 
I just saw these replies. I normally don't like outside programs to run my peripherals either. But if you read those steps I took very carefully, you will see that the Logitech drivers just would not interface with MSFS. I had no problem using my Logitech panels and proflight FIP with FSX. And flawlessly used them with Saitek drivers in FSX for well over five years or so. But what ever I did, could not get them to work in MSFS, even after reading fora and watching pertinent videos.

Using spadnext as a last resort, the panels were up and running in less than 30 minutes.

Thanks for the replies.

Joe
