Hi All
Just a quick question for all you clever people. Does anybody know how to make the XPDR part of my Saitek Radio panel work?

I use the spad drivers, the inner dial controls the xpdr and the outer dial controls the barometer. Apparently the saitek drivers are terrible, so much so that I didn't even bother with them.

The active/standby button switches between the xpdr numbers.

Youll have to do a search as I can't paste links, look for the fstools site.

Its good drivers with added functionality. You can assign different functions to different buttons. Eg the cowl flap button on the switch panel can be set to arm spoilers on jets and the function will change automatically depending on which plane you load.

It also adds a much needed dial speed adjustment too.
