Wondering the same, I can't get my saitek switch panel to work with p3d.

 

Found this thread http://www.prepar3d.com/forum-5/?mingleforumaction=viewtopic&t=914

I emailed this question to Go Flight this week. They are working on software to make their units work in P3D and will release it when ready.

GoFlight works fine... just copy the entry from the FSX exe.xml to P3D

I am having trouble with this. I cannot locate the P3D exe.xml file on my system, despite doing a search for *.xml.

 

There is certainly nothing in the expected place- C:\Users\DenApData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3d, or in Program Data.

I am obviously missing something (apart from brain cells that is) but can someone tell me what!

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

If the exe.xml file does not exist, manually create one in the Prepar3D folder and copy everything (from the FSX "exe.xml") that is required into that file. You can also copy FSX's exe.xml file into Prepar3D's folder, just remove the entries that are not required in P3D.

Thanks for that Mike. I now have then all working.

Just installed Squawkbox today and that works on Vatsim and voice comms. The XPDR doesn't seem to work yet though.

I'd much prefer FSINN but, from my reading, that currently cannnot be made to work.

I have the Saitek Pro-flight instrument panel and the radio panel working, just had to put entries in the exe.xml.

I can't get my saitek throtle to work, to be honest this is my first setup so i might do something wrong. Also on start with P3d plane start roling and drifting on the runway...

I have a fresh copy ov P3D V2 and the EXE.XML file is not where it was supposed to be.
Only DLL.XML is there, but it's not suitable to launch executables.

 

I did try to place a copy of my EXE.XML taken from my FSX gemini directory, but with no result at all.

I've double-checked the content and syntax in my EXE.XML and everything looks good, but just P3D is not calling to read such file.

 

I guess that the only way do make P3D to call the EXE.XML file is to allow it to create the file by itself (then to be edited to include calls to Saitek panels), but I have no idea how to do that.

 

I may guess that SimConnect and/or FSUIPC (I've got the licensed v4.9 installed) may have any ivolvement to create the EXE.XML, but I'm just guessing. And anyway I'm still missing such file.

 

Does anybody soved a similar problem?
So far, trying to follow other suggestions, I didn't have any positive result.

 

Thanks for helping.
