Saitek Switch Panel Starter Knob


Recommended Posts

I was wondering after I start the aircraft do I leave the knob on the start position or turn it back to the Both/All position as well as what is the Both/All position for?

After starting engine, it should return to both/all. In real life aircraft, it is spring-loaded and

return to both.

Basically, left magneto give current to the top cylinder spark-plugs and right mag to bottom plugs. On a pre-flight check, you can test one after the other, while watching RPM(and by engine sound) if they are both effective. If a select mag is defective, engine should stop.

Of course, never saw that issue in a sim...

I got it thanks! I see you have the i7-4790K. How does that stack up to the i7-4770K that I use? Any better Frame Rates like around JFK?

Bonjour Mike, well I don't think there's a difference in performance between our CPU.

On benchmark test, difference is only 0.3/10. But you must have an advantage with your

GTX1070. With FSX it's some kind of "paradox" to compare even identical system...

But we both surely have a good rig to enjoy our hobby. -{-|

Well I believe my triple monitors are the better asset but am a little envious of you 4400 since mine only tops out at @3900 and though I do not over clock I have tried just to see what I could get and was only able to reach @4200 stable. But it's all good!
