Is it as complex as the picture?

The only thing complex about it is getting it to actually work. Works fine with Windows 7. I finally gave up with Windows 8. If time is money I've spent thousands of dollars trying to find a solution.

No it really isn't. I have had my switch panel about 5 months now. If you do get one, make sure you go to Saitek's website and upload the current drivers and software for it. There is also some very help full articles on their support website for proper set up and troubleshooting. After you get it set up properly, which is not that difficult, it makes turning on systems and lights so much simpler. Great tool I highly recommend it and the multi-panel and the radio panel. Their technical support staff is excellent also. Good luck and happy flying.

Nothing is complex about it...it is simple and completely true to function. In other words...it works great. It is however oversized and toy-like in feel and appearance as is the other panels.

It's hard to be sure what you mean. Complexity of Setup: Easy...just a USB plug. Complexity of Panel Switches: Not at All. It's a decent-looking panel, but has a "lightweight" feel, which could be good for some, bad for others. Be aware, though, (since I wasn't), that this panel is only compatible with FSX, and possibly Prepar3d.

Also if you plan on using it with X-Plane you must download a plugin for it to work. Go to http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile;=14646

I'm not sure I understand the question. If you are asking is panel fully functional, then the answer is that the panel is exactly as shown in the picture. Every switch and knob works perfectly, including the landing gear lights and the gear up lever. All you have to do is plug in the USB to your yoke or computer.

Nonot at all. It works with your Flight Simulator. Every button and every dial

You need to assemble it. It was complex but it is beautiful once assembled.

No. It comes in several pieces, but once you put it together, it is what it is.

Yes it is. I can't remember why, but I wondered that too. I do remember that once I got it together it made sense.

Yes it does. The good part about that is that you cant tell by looking at it. If i was to walk into someone's home i would never suspect it to be what it is, to me it looks like a beautiful piece.

I think it is. It's really nice machine . Npt the moat beautiful deaign but still a powerful machine.

No. You have to assemble every single piece. I almost sent it back when I saw how complicated it was.

It looks like a toy. It works but it is not very detailed or very big. It just depends how detailed you want to be.

Hey John, Yes, I'd say the picture is a pretty accurate depiction of its colors. :)

Yes, but it was very easy. My 12 year old did a fantastic job on this picture. It was not that difficult compared to others. I think this one is a beginner level. I recommend this picture.

It says that it is, but I don't know for sure. Anyways, I like the size of it. I enjoy the quality of the sound recording from the machine. The only thing I have against it, it is too complicated. I wish it was a little simpler to operate. I took me over two weeks to read the manual and try to figure out how to get it to work. I nearly gave up on it. I am still trying to understand the different tracks and how to switch from one to the other. So if anyone out there that would like to help me simplify the instructions, I would certainly appreciate it.

Actually, to be really honest, I would not call it super simple. After you read the directions for whatever it is you are trying to do, it is simple enough. And while you're familiar with it -- if you use it several times a week, it is simple enough. Once you have it set up to do what you want, it's simple. I wouldn't call it complicated. But it's not as user-friendly and intuitive as I had hoped, unless you're familiar with it. I have found that if I leave it for some period of time, which I've had to do following a few injuries, I have to read the directions and become familiar with it all over again in order to use it the way I want. I wish it were more intuitive, honestly. Actually, to be really honest, I would not call it super simple. After you read the directions for whatever it is you are trying to do, it is simple enough.

It looks like this... so yes?http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31AVsvy2ubL._SX385_.jpg

Yes. And there are a lot of pieces. But it went together fairly easily. Took about an hour as I recall.

It is pretty easy. Just follow the directions. The instructions picture needed some enhancements but I was able to figure it out.

Yes!!! Assembly is required and it is pretty arduous but well worth it in the big picture. It was a time consuming task.
