I would buy this product again
by David from Israel
Pros: Helps in IFR flying
Cons: freezing now and then.
Review: Nice to have,but one unit(out of 6) is freezing now and then.You have to unplug the USB and plug it again. No big deal, but still unpleasant.

Great product-big trouble to install on Window 7
by Orlando from Juana Diaz PR USA
Pros: Professional instrumentation look.
Cons: A hell to instal on Window 7. Came with one pixel gone of the LCD.
Review: Product work as promise, a great add to the Saitek flight simulation combo, but was not an easy intallation as you promote. I had to invest money for a professional programer to work on my computer because the difficulties with the Window 7. Took an hour and 60 dollar to fix the problem. What a shame.

Another great Saitek product
by Tim from Houston TX USA
Pros: Pulls the same panels from the screen onto your desktop setup
Cons: Have to reset one here and there, non issue
Review: Easy to install and use. I purchased 6 Pro flight Instrument Panels and love them. I just downloaded the new drivers from Saitek and now each panel can be one of 10 instruments instead of 6. Every once in a while I have to cycle the plug on a panel but its just a minor thing. I added a powered USB hub to the setup so the gagues don't use system resources. I'm up to 9 USB ports now and it works great!!!

Basically OK, with some problems
by William from Carlsbad NM USA
Pros: The instruments are very useful and easy to read
Cons: Slow and jerky, see above
Review: I like the ability to view the instruments, however, there are some issues. 1. The selection buttons should be programmable, for instance,the button for the engine controls are not necessary if you have the throttles. 2. The various indications are jerky and lag behind the ones on the monitor. 3. I would like to see an instrument that would reflect the ADF and DME needles. 4. The adjustments are very slow to react, and sometimes freeze.

LIghts are on, nobody's home...
by Jim from Austin TX USA
Pros: omni-present flight data
Cons: instrument limitations, knobs don't do anything, switches not programmable
Review: I like the product and I'm glad I have them. It's nice to be able to go to a full screen flying view and still have access to key flight data. But, I'm disappointed in the limitations of the programming and the constant commercial on the display when FSX is not lit up. I have three of them. There are 6 'instruments' available for display but they do not adjust for aircraft type. (Airspeed red/yellow lines are the same for ultralights and F-18's) Occasionally one of them will just lock up. I'm also a little disappointed that the two knobs don't have any function at all and there is no mention of them in the users guide. The S1-S6 switches are the same for all instruments with no programability so it's pretty repetitive. It would be nice if they were programable too. These switches are backlit. go figure.

One is not enough
by William Ferguson Jr from University CIty MO USA
Pros: Lowest priced way to build a full panel.
Cons: Only works with FSX
Review: The instument panel is probably the least expensive way to build a complete panel.Corolating the instrument readings is combersom if you only have one panel. However,to purchase six instruments would cost around a thousand US dollars. Why not make just the instrument without the extra buttons and thus perhaps reduce the cost. Unfortunatly, Saitek panels only work with FSX. A lot of us still prefer FS9. I wish Saitek would provide the softwear for both.
