Saitek panels

[Reggie_Mental]

I have these gathering dust since I rarely fly FSX these days.

 

Has anyone used these in IL2GB?

 

Can they be used/emulated in this game?

I assume you can use the Saitek software to program buttons, but it's likely to take some time to setup.

Hi,

 

I use the Saitek Switch Panel (the last one in the picture above). But this thing works only with the free software called DCSFlightPanels,

because this thing is quite proprietary and was originally designed to only work with FSX, X-Plane and Prepar3D.

 

With that said, I like it and it works great for what I need it.

Hi Pilots.. 

 

In order to use this panels with out any payware program ( as SpadX ) you can use this other option:

For example, you can bind keys to the switch panel, in any position ( on/off).

I am currently having issues with DCSFlightpanels. It used to work perfectly a couple of days ago (with the issue that it doesn't always recognize modifiers such as shift) but now IL2 doesn't register the commands at all. The virtual keystrokes are being sent by DCSFP but Il2 does not get them. When I activate the switches anywhere I get the key presses. Even for engine start, which is E, when I press the specific switch, an E appears on everywhere, text file, virtual keyboards, the DCSFP logs, but in Il2 it doesn't do anything. When I press E on the physical keyboard, the engine does start. What gives. DCSFP is currently working in DCS. Have you ever had that happen to you?

I'm using my PZ255 with DCSFlightpanels ver. 2.2.77 and it works fine in key emulator mode with BoX v4.007.  maybe try going back to an older version.

You could use the Radio Panel with DCSFlightpanels to control SRS. Seems like some IL2 multiplayer users are starting to switch from TeamSpeak to SRS for increased realism...

This is game issue, external combos - e.g. LShift+F,  is not recognized by game if don't have a delay between LShift and F, what not all keymappers allow to set.

 

For the game (IL-2) not recognizing the keypress sent, try starting DCSFlightpanels "As administrator".

How long delay should there be between the modifier and the normal key? I am the developer behind DCSFlightpanels and of course I would like to have it working properly in IL-2. I would need someone to test also. I own any of the IL-2 so someone else must do the testing.

With the Warthog and Target script I use 32ms delay. Hope this helps.

Thanks, we will test this asap.
