# Saitek FIP: Driver & Function Check

For the Saitek FIP to work correctly with SPAD.neXt, you will need to install a windows driver for it.

* Download <https://download01.logi.com/web/ftp/pub/techsupport/simulation/Flight_Instrument_Panel_x64_Drivers.exe>
* Install it
* Reboot Computer
* The FiP should now show Saitek Advertisements
* Open "Apps & Features" (Programs & Apps)
* uninstall "Direct Output" (this conflicts with SPAD.neXt)

FIP Function-Check:

* unplug the FIP
* wait 15 seconds
* plug the FIP back in
* now the Page-Up Button (Tringle in the middle) should flash exactly 8 Times , and then go off&#x20;
* the backlight of the FIP display should be on and you should see it shimmering grayish.
