Logitech G USB Pro Flight Radio Panel

I bought two of these for my flight simulator setup. They work great! Very sturdy. Nice big displays. Lots of radio tuning options with these radio panels. They mounted easily to my Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo units. One one of the radio panels I did discover one of the LEDs burned out after not even a month. I contacted Logitech support via email. In a very timely manner they sent me a replacement radio panel, a brand new one, very quickly. It's working perfectly. Their tech support did a great job in my situation. I highly recommend these panels for any serious flight simmer.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Works perfectly. Had to purchase 3rd party software to get it to work correctly but that's not the products fault...

Excellent product easy to install

It is a very good and useful flight control for flight simulators. I've been using Air Manager on touch screen. It works fine, but rotating knobs on touch screen is a little bit of a pain. Hadware knobs is a big step forward. The unit came very nicely packaged, in a double box. It contains two parts, the unit itself which is quite thin and can be attached with screws to home made vertical panels, and a separate bracket for attaching the unit to a horizontal (such as desk) or vertical surface. Mounting screws are included. Also, sticky velcro pads are offered as a mounting option option. Unlike many yokes and rudder pedals, X-plane 11 does not natively recognize this panel. You have to go to Logitech web site and download the current driver. "Logitech flight radio panel support" would be a good search string to quickly find what you need. Logitech offers drivers for X-plane 11, Prepar3D v.3 and v4, and older simulators. Installation of drivers is quick and simple. After that, the panel automatically links to X-plane (I use 11.21) without any additional configuration needed. The unit connects to a computer via a USB 2 cable. If you use several panels, a USB hub with external power supply could be a good idea. Note that display does not light up when you connect the unit to the USB port. It lights up only after you install drivers and start your flight simulator. In aviation, frequencies go with a step of 25 kHz. Since there are only two digits after the decimal comma on airplane radios, each step in rotation of the knob changes the frequency by 0.025 MHz, but you see steps of 0.02 followed by 0.03 and back to 0.02. This is not a fault of the device, it is a rounding error and a correct representation of airplane radios. Saitek lists the following specifications for the unit: Flight Radio Panel: Length: 11 in (28.2 cm) Width: 2.2 in (5.5 cm) Height: 3.3 in (8.4 cm) Weight (w/o bracket): 14.8 oz (419 g) Weight: 1.3 lbs (599 g) Cable Length (Power/Charging): 5.9 ft (1.8 m) Flight Radio Bracket: Length: 11 in (28.2 cm) Width: 3.2 in (8 cm) Height: 3.2 in (8 cm) Now, first impressions. CONS. Layout of the radios is different from layout of radios which one finds in GA planes. I cannot quite understand why Saitek did not copy the design of actual radios. This does not interfere with the operation of the unit, but create wrong muscle memory when one uses this controller and radio in a real plane. PROs: Mechanical knobs and buttons are much easier to use than those on touchscreen, and incredibly easier than to use a mouse (which hopefully noone does). This is pretty much the only stand alone radio unit for flight simulation available on the market. A few older Saitek units (e.g., vernier throttle unit) were discontinued a few years back, and used units sell on auction site for triple the original price. If you are serious about flight simulation, get them as long they are available. NEUTRAL: to create a realistic flight panel which matches that of a GA aircraft, you need TWO of these units. So consider doubling the cost :) It is particularly useful when X-plane is used with one of the services where one can talk to ATC, and needs to often switch frequencies. Real knobs make this task much easier than on a touch screen.

Son excelentes

The radio works once it is set up. Feels realistic enough. Although it takes a bit to set it up, as they aren't simply plug and play, or at least wasn't for me. There's an apparent communication issue when combining all 3 logitech radio/switch panels, and using the Logitech plugin didn't seem to help me, nor others from my reading about it. It seems that Spadnext is the way to go when using all 3 of the Logitech panels. It runs in tandem with the simulator, and has a ghost mode to allow you to test buttons and functions. The directions radio comes with doesn't seem to help much.

I bought this to use with X Plane 11 and it works great. Will come in handy during online events without having to look down at com panel on pc monitor. Follow directions in the box. If you see a quick light up during pc startup thats normal. When you open xplane and load an aircraft, it will detect and numbers should show. If not simply unplug and replug the usb for pc to redetect the radio panel. You should only have to do this once after loading a flight and you are sitting on the ground. Would highly recommend to serious simmers.

The Saitek Panels are rock solid. Well made and are designed to integrate into a very real console. We had problems getting the software we wanted to use them on to recognize the devices and after hours and hours of trying we ran ou of patience and returned everything. But I must say - Saitek makes a good product. Also while writing - the process of returning for full credit was flawless. Thank you Amazon. Make me glad I bought here

A configuração é muito simples e torna tudo mais real

Muy útil para manejar los radios me gusto mucho

Work like new after a few years

Good job! Keep up the great work!

Good build quality, works straight out the box, just install the Logitech driver before plugging it in (unless you have installed it previously for other multi panels you may own). The display doesn't show the third digit after the decimal which for some frequencies is a bit annoying, but there is good haptic/tactile feedback when turning the wheel, so it's not that hard to get to 122.755 even though it's only showing you 122.75. Keep in mind that some aircraft need you to turn on the "master avionics" switches when starting "cold and dark" so use a key binding for this if your panel doesn't seem to work.
