SAITEK PRO FLIGHT SWITCH PANEL
Congratulations on buying the Saitek Pro Flight Switch Panel. The switch panel features realistic switches and controls which interact in real time with Microsoft Flight Simulator X to make your flying experiences more realistic. Installing the switch panel You can fix the panel to your desk using the velcro strips. If you already own a Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System, you can also mount the switch panel on top of the yoke unit using the screws provided. Important: To fix the Pro Flight Switch Panel to the Pro Flight Yoke System, first remove the switch panel from the mounting bracket, screw the bracket to the top of the yoke system and then re-attach the switch panel to the front of the bracket.

Testing your switch panel To test your switch panel, click on Windows Start, Saitek Pro Flight Switch Panel folder, then select Pro Flight Switch Panel Test Page. Troubleshooting How to assign switch panel controls to Flight Simulator X functions Once you have installed the switch panel software, the switch panel buttons and controls should be automatically configured to control their functions in FS X software.
