X-plane 11 and saitek panels compatible? if so how do I get mine to work.

Question

I just upgraded to X-Plane 11. My Saitek instruments all worked with the previous version X, but I cannot get any of them to work with the upgraded version. Are they compatible or is there something I need to do to get them to work?

Comments

Yes, I would like to know how to connect the multi panel, the TPM panel not the 3 lever instrument , Radio panel, etc. can't get them to connect so they work in x-plane 11.

I've had some success with the radio panel and switch panel in X-Plane 11, but not been able to get the FIPs to function properly other than load non-functional Altimeter, Attitude and Airspeed indicators.

We're trying to investigate this further. So far, all the log.txt files we've seen have been missing the Saitek 64 bit plugin that is required to interface with X-Plane 11, and therefore the panels are missing entirely from the log. 

Please go here and download and install the 64 bit Saitek plugin. Then launch X-Plane with the panels plugged in. 

Does this allow X-Plane to recognize them? If still no joy, please send a copy of the log.txt after you quit X-Plane to the bug reporter.

Thanks for this. I have tried - and no doubt you guys already have feedback - because I note the fact that the Saitek site has no clickable links to the drivers - and the plugin link no longer works.

I have logged a job through that feedback link you supplied above, because the plugin has really messed with my primary controls.  But - I have a quick question for you...

How do I remove the plugin so that I can get back to the original configuration I had?

Thank you!

Plugins can simply be removed by deleting the plugin folder from the Resources > plugins folder.
