Yes it would, I have done it myself. Unfortunately the TM MFDs use up a "Windows Game Controller" number for each MFD plugged in. And they get to be numbers #1 & #2 in the list.
The result is that your controllers such as joystick, throttle and pedals end up being #3, #4 & #5 and do not show up in the game's input controller. That can be worked around, but FB can only detect 4 controllers, so one of the above will not be seen by the game.
Workarounds:
Use the HOTAS section of the Controls page to bind the axes of your flightgear. Then use JoyControl to set scaled inputs. Note though: if you have #s 3, 4 & 5 as mentioned above then you will not be able to use one of them
If your flightgear software allows you to combine your controllers into 'one virtual controller' then that will save the day. I don't know if Saitek software has that ability. CH software does and that's how I got past the issue.
Alternatively you could junk one of the MFDs which will leave space for stick, throttle and pedals. Or try seeing if TM software allows combining their product. The last time I looked they didn't but that was a while ago.
That all sounds confusing, but it is possible to get over most of the problems.
