Introduction to FlightPanel™ Flight Simulator
Instrument Panels
Thank you for purchasing a FlightPanel™ Flight Simulator Instrument
Panel! This user guide will explain how to make the best use of it with your
flight simulator.
The concepts behind the FlightPanel™ are simple:
1. Provide a generic airplane panel solution with knobs, buttons, and
switches that can easily be mapped to any function in any airplane.
2. Provide a generic instrumentation environment such that the
instruments you fly behind can be customized to any airplane.
3. Provide an intelligent solution that will work with any and all flight
simulators.

Powering the FlightPanel
If your FlightPanel includes internal screens or other accessories such as
an internal USB Hub, GPS Navigator, etc, these will typically require power
and other connections (HDMI or USB).
● Remove the Rear Access Panels being careful not to disturb the
internal wiring.
● Connect POWER and USB cables as needed
● Be careful not to overtighten screws.
● Some devices will need to be attached from behind while others will
attach through the front.
● We recommend connecting all add-in devices to a powered USB Hub
(included with CLASSIC and PRO FlightPanels). As always, be
careful not to disturb the internal wiring or the microcontroller.
● CLASSIC & PRO ONLY: Plug the 15’ USB cable cable into the USB
port installed on the back. Plug the other end into a USB port on your
computer.
● FLEX ONLY: Plug the 15’ USB cable into the microcontroller using
the connector nearest to the white reset button. Plug the other end
into a USB port on your computer or into a powered USB hub.

Getting Familiar with FlightPanel™
Once the FlightPanel™ is connected via a USB cable your computer
should detect a new keyboard. Please note that FlightPanel™ will not
begin sending keystrokes to the computer for 10-20 seconds after it is first
powered.
Open Notepad, or any other text editor, and begin turning the knobs and
pressing the buttons on your FlightPanel™. You will observe a unique key
being sent for each action.
The Red Mode Switch
The red “Mode” switch will alter the keys sent, so that most controls can
serve two purposes in your sim. On certain panels an LED is provided to
alert you to the position of the Mode Switch.

IntelliPress™ Command Repetition
Each push button sends a single keystroke per press. This includes the
push button functions associated with the knobs. However, the push
buttons can also send a constantly repeating keystroke if you press and
hold. You must hold the button for approximately one second for this to
begin.
By design, IntelliPress™ Command Repetition operates slower than the
IntelliSpin™ behavior described for knobs. This allows it to work well for
things like raising or lowering flaps on airplanes that require a handle to be
held while a motor slowly moves the object. It also allows you to use the
buttons for radio tuning, setting transponder codes, and many other “rotary”
behaviors when desired.

IntelliSpin™ Automatic Knob Acceleration
Each knob sends a single keystroke per detent, which you will feel while
turning the knob.
If you give the knob two quick short turns it will begin continuously sending
the keystroke rapidly. One it’s started, you can maintain the faster
IntelliSpin™ action by maintaining steady unhurried movement of the knob
in the same direction.
There are two ways to stop IntelliSpin™ Acceleration:
1. Stop turning the knob. IntelliSpin™ Acceleration will end
approximately ⅓ of a second later. This will result in 15-20 additional
keystrokes being delivered after you stop turning the knob.
2. Moving the knob one or more detents in the opposite direction. This
will stop IntelliSpin™ Acceleration immediately.

SwitchSync™ Aircraft Harmonization (FLEX only)
The FLEX panel includes silver toggle switches in addition to knobs and
push buttons. Note that these switches are not affected by the Mode
Switch. However, each time the Mode Switch is changed, the current
position of each switch will be sent to the computer as a series of
keystrokes. This allows you to quickly harmonize the switch positions with
the simulated airplane any time you like.
We recommend that you practice using SwitchSync™, IntelliSpin™, and
IntelliPress™ in Notepad to get familiar with how they behave. You will
soon discover that these are very helpful features for your flight simulator!

Configuring the Knobs, Push Buttons, and Switches
As far as the computer is concerned, FlightPanel™ looks just like a
keyboard. Each knob and switch will submit a unique keystroke to the
computer when turned or pressed.
Simply access your flight sim “keyboard configuration” screen, select the
control you wish to configure, and then turn or press the selected knob,
switch, or button to send the key.
Remember that the red Function Switch on your FlightPanel™ allows each
knob/button to serve two roles, so think carefully about the ideal position of
the Mode Switch as you are making your assignments.
You will likely want to configure more frequently used controls, such as
Altimeter, Landing Gear, Heading Bug, AutoPilot, OBS Rotation, Lights,
Radio Tuning etc with the Mode Switch in its default/off position.
You can then assign less frequently used controls, such as Fuel Tank
Selector, Magnetos, Starter, Transponder Digits, etc to auxiliary roles with
the Mode Switch On.
Note: If you are using P3D or FSX you may need a third party software
such as FSUIPC, in order to configure keystrokes for all of the aircraft
controls. Other flight sim packages, such as XPlane and FS2020 provide
full keystroke mapping without the need for third party software.

Printing Labels
Sample labels for the various controls can be accessed from Google Drive
here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tFYFYCxJFyeFC1VIexS7qF31l_RVj
qqP?usp=sharing
You will need to copy the label templates and save copies in your own
Google Drive. You will then be able to edit the files to match your
assignments.
After printing, simply trim the labels and insert them into the channels on
your FlightPanel™.
