USING THE LOGITECH G FLIGHT RADIO PANEL
The Logitech G Flight Radio Panel allows you to adjust the communications and navigation frequencies on your aircraft’s radio stack for communicating with air traffic control or selecting VOR beacons or NDBs for navigation.
- Com1 and Com2 Communications channels 1 and 2
- Nav1 and Nav2 Navigation channels 1 and 2
- ADF Automatic Direction Frequency receiver
- DME Distance Measuring Equipment
- XPDR Transponder frequency code
To adjust the radio stack frequencies, first, select the radio mode using the radio mode selector knob on the left of the panel. Using the rotary controls to the right of the LED screen, adjust the values of the standby frequency on the right side of the screen. The outer rotary adjusts standby frequency by increments of 1 and the inner rotary adjusts decimals. Please note, you can only adjust the standby values and not the active values.
To make the standby values active, press the ACT/STBY switch to the right of the panel. The standby values you have input will now move from the standby section of the screen to the active section and vice versa.
ADF
ADJUSTING THE XPDR CODE
To adjust the transponder squawk code, first, select XPDR on the radio mode selector knob on the left of the Radio Panel. Turn the outer rotary to adjust digit 1 and the inner rotary to adjust digit 2.
To adjust digits 3 and 4, press the ACT/STBY button to the right of the unit and adjust digit 3 by turning the outer rotary and digit 4 by turning the inner rotary.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Once you have installed the appropriate plug-in for Flight Simulator X (FSX), the next time you run FSX it will prompt you that it is attempting to load the Logitech G Panel(s) Plug-in for FSX – click Yes on this screen. After that you should see a Windows security warning asking you if you want to run LogiFlightSimX.exe – click Yes on that screen.
Finally, FSX will prompt you if you wish to make LogiFlightSimX.exe a trusted piece of software – click Yes. Once you have installed the Panel software, the Panel buttons and controls should be automatically configured to control their functions in FSX software. If your FSX software does not recognize the Panel, unplug the USB cable and plug it back in.
