no alternator switch on Saitek switch panel?
no alternator switch on Saitek switch panel?
sorry guys didn't know quite where to post this one here. but for the the Sky Hawk/Sky Lane the alternator switch on my switch panel doesn't work. is there away I can add that so that when I turn on the battery switch the alternator will come on as well? I may have posted this before I don't remember but there is is this here http://fstools.weebly.com/ I'm not sure if this will do what I want either.

Re: no alternator switch on Saitek switch panel?
oh ok well thank you. i just got done flying the Comanche which is a great handling plane. but the landing light switches are the same way. they don't work on my switch panel either. i'm not sure if SPAD would fix that or not? i have the switch panel working so i won't mess with it. lol

Yes if using the saitek stuff you need to third party software to enable to added features for custom mapping, otherwise they will only work with default level aircraft.

What simulator do you use? There might be a free solution for your problem, it doesn‘t necessarily require spad next if it‘s only some switches.cessna lover wrote: ↑16 Jun 2021, 14:11oh ok thanks. i will just leave well enough alone. the switch panel is working and i can flip needed switches with my mouse any way so it's ok.Lewis - A2A wrote: ↑16 Jun 2021, 08:01 Yes if using the saitek stuff you need to third party software to enable to added features for custom mapping, otherwise they will only work with default level aircraft.

Re: no alternator switch on Saitek switch panel?
You could use LINDA to assign the buttons to the correct switches. It's available at Avsim and there are models for all the A2A airplanes available. It requires FSUIPC for communication with the sim, unregistered is fine. LINDA is freeware and works exceptionally well in FSX and P3D. and it's really easy to set up.cessna lover wrote: ↑17 Jun 2021, 06:48flight simulator x gold edition with the acceleration pack.MarcE wrote: ↑16 Jun 2021, 14:39What simulator do you use?

Re: no alternator switch on Saitek switch panel?
The Saitek switch panel really needs something like SpadNext to function as intended. Only trouble with that is the hit on framerates!
Re: no alternator switch on Saitek switch panel?
SpadNext was developed as a replacement for the ancient and now defunct Saitek driver software. It works brilliantly bit does hit framerates. I tend to just turn down air traffic and other moving vehicles / boats to compensate a bit.
Re: no alternator switch on Saitek switch panel?
i know what you mean. i turned a bunch of stuff down to. but there are still some flights that my frame rate plunge.
