  1. Thank you again, Steve, for your kind assistance.

     

    But I think that FS could have taken care of integrating all those very current equipment as the Logi/Saitek are, to not have to bind or setup all of that.

    I mean; I could understand if I wanted to use some home made joystick, but thes are universal from the last decade!

     

    And then; a Keyboard Logitech. Thousands of them completely universal, and FS does not recognize it??

     

    They should have worked more on that and less on putting the kangaroos in the bushes :-)

     

    Regards

    Ron

  2. Thank you Steve,

     

    Yes, I will give it a try. I have so much experience now with reinstalling XP ;-) that I can always come back.

    In fact, after rethinking, I don't worry about the plugin anymore, as they go into each software as the name says.

    The Saitek/Logitech drivers; that's, probably, another history.

    The drivers for Panels, Yoke and Rudder work out of the box on both softwares.

    The FIP panels is the most tricky one. I use them in XP with the platform of FSX Times Gauges, that does not use the Logitech drivers, but I will have to install those for msfs...

     

    Anyway: Let's go for it and I keep you updated

     

     

     

    Well: Some frustrating hours later.........

     

    MSFS 2020 does not even recognize my keyboard!!

    Even taking off the Brake is not possible with key board so I had to toggle with mouse in the Cessna itself.

    Then of course, you don't wonder that the Logitech/Saitek stuff is not a lot better.

    Yes: The very basics as Yoke and rudder did work so I could take off.

    "Of course" No luck with Autopilot , Switch panel and Radios. So; no flaps, no AP use, no Trim....

     

    Anyway: The only reason to persist could be the scenarios, but really; I want to practice my flying, not tourism.

     

    So; Bye Bye MS...... Back to XPlane basics plus waiting for XP 12?

     

    BTW: To get my XP back to normal, I had to uninstall MS plugin, Saitek Trim driver etc. Some of the Logitech items inside XP where disturbed by the later FS install, it seems.

  4. Hi, May I continue on this thread with an additional question?

     

    I have X-Plane 11:55 perfectly configured with all the Saitek hardware running perfectly.

    Now I want to try the FS2020 by the X Box App in windows 10.

     

    Should I do as you told before:

    1) Install drivers (I have them already for XP) So I can pass this one.

    2) Install MSFS plugin for msfs. Here is my DOUBT: Will there be conflicts between the plugin for XP and the same plugin for MSFS?

     

    Thanks for your suggestions
