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.

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.
If your FS X software does not recognise the switch panel, unplug the USB cable and
plug it back in.
If FS X appears not to load, this is because it is waiting for a prompt. To view the
prompt window, select it either by pressing Alt + tab or by clicking on the prompt on
the Windows task bar. The prompt reads "Microsoft Flight Simulator security warning :
Cowl open/close (for prop aircraft)
Misc battery, cockpit and de-ice functions
Light systems on/off
Engine start/stop functions
