Strumentazione commerciale LOGITECH (ex SAITEK) / LOGITECH (ex SAITEK) commercial tools - MyLearjet45 V2 - Home Cockpit Building - Flight Simulator ITA / ENG
Iniziamo da qualcosa di semplice: parliamo dei pannelli e strumenti LOGITECH (ex SAITEK) che compongono parte del mio simulatore.
Al momento possiedo:
FLIGHT MULTI PANEL

Utilizzato per gestione completa dell'autopilota, flaps e pitch trim
FLIGHT RADIO PANEL

Utilizzato per la gestione della radio COM, NAV, ADF, DME e Transponder
FLIGHT SWITCH PANEL

Utilizzato per la gestione elettrica, motore, luci e gestione carrello
FLIGHT YOKE SYSTEM

Volantino usato come controllo principale e le tre leve della manetta utilizzate per manetta motore, fuel flow e spoiler.
Tutti gli assi di controllo dell'aereo sono gestiti da FSUIPC e non dal sistema di default di Flight Simulator, perché FSUIPC mi permette un controllo ed una calibrazione migliori.
Anche i tre controlli delle leve delle manette (motore, fuel flow e spoiler) sono gestiti, come assi analogici, da FSUIPC. In particolare, la manetta gestisce anche i reverse, mentre il controllo dello spoiler permette, in base alla posizione della leva, di assegnare uno dei tre valori gestiti da Flight Simulator (ARMED, EXTENDED, RETRACTED)
I pulsanti presenti sul volantino sono stati abbinati ad alcune funzioni del simulatore, come ad esempio la gestione delle viste e lo zoom; le associazioni non sono ancora definitive, perché sto provando varie combinazioni.
Al momento i pulsanti presenti sulle manette invece non li sto ancora utilizzando.
FLIGHT RUDDER PEDALS

Utilizzato come pedaliera timone e freni. Anche in questo caso gli assi analogici del timone e del freno sono gestiti e calibrati da FSUIPC.
Sono tutte periferiche USB, quindi l'installazione è relativamente semplice.
I tre pannelli (Multi, Radio, Switch) sono gestiti da un software custom chiamato SPAD, che, al momento della mia scoperta, era un software gratuito (adesso è diventato SPAD.next ed è commerciale https://www.spadnext.com/)
Questo software permette di poter configurare e personalizzare in maniera avanzata i vari pannelli, in modo da aggiungere ad essi nuove funzionalità.
I tre pannelli sono inseriti nel main panel, parte alta.

Let's start with something simple: let's talk about the LOGITECH (ex SAITEK) panels and instruments that make up part of my simulator.
I currently own:
FLIGHT MULTI PANEL

Used for complete management of autopilot, flaps and pitch trim
FLIGHT RADIO PANEL
credits https://www.logitechg.com/en-gb/products/flight/flight-simulator-cockpit-radio-panel.945-000011.html
Used for the management of COM radio, NAV, ADF, DME and Transponder
FLIGHT SWITCH PANEL
credits https://www.logitechg.com/en-gb/products/flight/flight-simulator-switch-panel.945-000012.html
Used for electric management, engines, lights and landing gear management
FLIGHT YOKE SYSTEM
credits https://www.logitechg.com/en-gb/products/flight/flight-simulator-yoke-system.945-000004.html
Steering wheel used as main control and the three throttle levers used for throttle, fuel flow and spoiler.
All aircraft control axes are handled by FSUIPC and not by the default Flight Simulator system, because FSUIPC allows me better control and calibration.
Also the three controls of the throttle levers (engine, fuel flow and spoiler) are managed, as analog axes, by FSUIPC. In particular, the throttle also manages the reverse, while the spoiler control allows, based on the lever position, to assign one of the three values managed by Flight Simulator (ARMED, EXTENDED, RETRACTED)
The buttons on the flyer have been combined with some simulator functions, such as view management and zoom; the bindings aren't final yet, because I'm trying various combinations.
At the moment I'm not using the buttons on the throttle quadrant yet.
FLIGHT RUDDER PEDALS
credits https://www.logitechg.com/en-gb/products/flight/flight-simulator-rudder-pedals.945-000005.html
Used as rudder pedals and brakes. Also in this case the analog rudder and brake axes are managed and calibrated by FSUIPC.
They're all USB devices, so setup is relatively simple.
The three panels (Multi, Radio, Switch) are managed by a custom software called SPAD, which, at the time of my discovery, was free software (now it has become SPAD.next and is commercial https://www.spadnext.com/)
This software allows you to configure and customize the various panels in an advanced way, in order to add new functions to them.
The three panels are placed into the main panel, upper part.
