4Awesome...but no better than instrument only view in FSX
By Charles W. Stout
I have the yoke and 3 lever throttle, the rudder pedals and 3 of the saitek Flight instrument panels and the Pro Flight Switch Panel. They work GREAT!

They are HIGHLY recommended.

I only have 2 complaints..sometimes all the panels don't get started at the same time (probably due to the USB power requirement) so I have to unplug them and replug them...but it's usually just 1 of the 6 devices.....mostly the yoke itself.

The other complaint is that there is no HSI option on the flight instrument panel...maybe in a driver upgrade.

These change the usablity of FSX from tedious to truly enjoyable!

2Overrated, get a track IR instead.
By Brian S. Gerrard
They all work OK kind of laggy, the attitude indicator is very laggy. I got all 6 of these. I ran it off of my regular pc, and it drains your main cpu. The attitude indicator dosn't always match up, i ran it in the recommended client/server mode and it ran a little faster but not much. Wish it had some navaid stuff built into it.

4Saitek Instrument Guage
By sandecamp
I have purchased three of the Saitek Panel Guages. All of the devices work well and are in sync with MS FSX. They are somewhat CPU intensive, so one needs lots of CPU speed and memory. Their number one benefit is that they free the user to use the entre gaming screen for scenery. The gauges improve the feeling of realism considerably. Last point, they seem to be happiest using a single dedicated USB port.
