Excellent information, thank you. Yeah, I assumed there was ZERO chance the Saitek stuff was not going to work, so I bought the 3 piece set and am waiting on that now. since I am SOOOO new to this, this will keep me plenty busy till I am ready to start buying addon stuff. by then, the drivers will catch up surely. so, just to get an idea, are the components like the different panels and such, are they not just plug and play? do I need to get familiar with any electronics basics to be able to run wiring between these things and some sort of control panel? Are there any places that you would recommend that would show be what a setup looks like behind the scenes? Im going to hit youtube, but if you have something like a link available , I would def be interested. thanks for the information
