No text data showing on Saitek Flight Instrument Panels

Postby MagicMarty » Sun Dec 21, 2014 11:19 am

I'm hoping someone out there knows what's going on with my FIPs.

I had been running FSX with 3 FIPs and all was working fine. I wanted to check out x-plane 10 so I loaded the Flight Instrument Management system from Thomas Computer solutions and all seemed to work there.

I don't know if this is the cause,but now when running FSX I am getting dials and gauges with some moving arrows but no numbers for altitude, speed, baro, etc. I have spoke with Saitek and have done a clean install of the drivers several times. I also downloaded some of Philippe's gauges from this site and they do the same thing.

I am also using SPAD for my other panels.

I tried to look at some of the .ini and .cfg files but I'm not real sure what is going on in there.

My thoughts are that either the panels are looking in the wrong place for the data or FSX is sending it to the wrong place.

I am at wits end and this is really blowing my SIM experience.

Has anyone heard of this before or have any ideas???

Do I need to do a clean install of FSX? I would hate to do that and find out it's still not working.

I can't wait to get this fixed.

Can I use FSUIPC4 to run the FIPs? I have a registered copy but don't know much about it.

Thanks
