nrcapes Posted August 31, 2011 Report Posted August 31, 2011 Is there a way to get rid of the Saitek multipanel driver and take control of the multipanel in FSUIPC? It is not listed as a joystick in FSUIPC.INI. It unpredictably turns off such things as speed hold when I move a rotary.

It is not listed as a joystick in FSUIPC.INI. It unpredictably turns off such things as speed hold when I move a rotary. Sorry, i don't know anything about the panel. I assume their driver is the part interfacing to FSUIPC, so if you remove that you aren't left with much. If it is a standard USB HID device, like the GoFlight devices, it would be possible to program it using the COM and HID facilities in the FSUIPC Lua libraries -- you could run HidScanner to see what that tells you. You can get that in this thread in the Download Links subforum: Latest Lua Package. But you'd need to write your own Lua program that way. Alternatively, search out a program called SPAD ("Saitek Panels Advanced Driver") which might handle it. Google should find it for you. Regards Pete

Regards Pete Yes, I have SPAD but it has its own problems in interfacing to the Saitek gear and is not supported. But I suppose I could get a FSUIPC log of events that occur when buttons on the Saitek gear are pressed with SPAD in control. I think I know enough about FSUIPC now to find out what is going on. Does this sound workable? thanks!

Pete I couldn't see the Saitek panel in FSUIPC but I think I found the problem: I was running both the Saitek driver and SPAD at the same time, and SPAD was set up incorrectly. I'll try it for a while before doing anything more. Thanks for the offer of help.
