About this deal
SOLVED: Did a clean install of Windows and they work now. First installed the latest Driver from 2017 and then the MSFS plugin. I have the pleasure of working with ArturDCS as a tester on his FlightPanels V2.0 project. As was mentioned in earlier posts, he is now making use of DCS-BIOS. The progress is exciting and I'd like to give users a heads-up of what's coming (with ArturDCS's permission).
And now for The Big Kahuna -- The Saitek Radio Panel. :) ArturDCS has functionality working for the A-10C AM, FM and ILS radios. We're still testing and working out bugs, but it's going to work! I think ILS landings will forever be a part of my missions now (kind of been ignoring that in the Warthog). Edit: This was just to note progress. Other radios, e.g. UHF, and other modules are being worked on. Toggle between 15 different displays, or utilize additional units to create a larger configuration which simultaneously displays multiple panels. Twin dials and a set of hotkeys simplify switching between various readouts. Any data from HWInfo can (optionally) be displayed. This also works when Elite Dangerous is not running. EDIT: I have powered HUBs, both USB2 and USB3. I also started Spad.next as administrator. The only warnings Spad.next displays is about the missing device drivers. EDIT2: After some googling I came over another device driver and tried it. It seems to work: https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/KEYBOARD-and-MOUSE/LOGITECH/Logitech-Flight-Instrument-Panel-Driver-8-0-124-0-64-bit.shtmlActivate Developer Mode : Chrome -> "Settings" -> "More Tools" -> "Extensions", and move the "Developer mode" slider in the top right corner.
Restarted computer between each attempt, all different combinations of uninstalling drivers, unplugging FIPs before driver installation etc. b]Close down DCS, delete all logs under C:\Users\
Open DCS Script folder [drive:\Users\
The Switch Panel functionality has been great from the get-go and remains so. He has already released a version of FlightPanels that precludes the need of a special driver and we now have use of the LED indicators. :thumbup: I just upgraded to a new PC from an old where everything worked fine and for some bizarre reason, the FIP panels are not recognized by Windows on my new PC. ArturDCS is already thinking ahead to the MultiPanel. As this was designed to emulate civil aircraft, we're looking at how best to apply it to DCS modules. Use the left rotary encoder or the S5/S6 buttons to show another card on various tabs or zoom into the galaxy map.
