  1. It worked!! Thanks...what an easy fix! Many thanks
  2. Hi - Yes no real response. I played around with the settings, but could not 'fix' the issue. However, I found that by re-connecting the Saitek multi-panel to the USB, and if I set the auto-throttle on the Saitek multi-panel to 'OFF', it allows me to move the Site X55 Throttles in sequence with the simulated throttles on the quadrant. Not the correct fix nut it helped. Hope you have better luck with your post! MikeAR
  3. Hello and HELP! I have the Saitek X55 Throttles and Yoke, as well as the Saitek Multi-Panel, Saitek Switch Panel and the Saitek Radio panel, connected. I have both P3D with the PMDG737NGX and X-Plane10 with the IXEG 737 Classic installed and both simulators work extremely well. However, the Saitek X55 system works fine with the P3D setup, but not with the X-Plane10 setup, as described below:- I am having a problem getting the IXEG737's simulated Throttles to respond with the movement on the Saitek X55 Throttles. The strange thing is that the Throttles move OK when the aircraft is Cold and Dark, but as soon as I power the aircraft up for Taxi, the simulated throttles don't move when I move the Saitek Throttles. I can move the Simulator Throttle by the mouse controls, but this defeats the purpose of having the Saitek Throttles. I have looked at the settings and the Saitek throttles respond correctly under 'settings', but when I get the simulator to show the 'Data Input & Output', there is no Data being sent to the simulator from either 'thro1' or 'thro2'. I have installed the latest Saitek Software and Drivers, thinking that this may have been the problem but it has not helped. Added: I found that if I unplugged (removed the usb connection) for the Multi-Panel, and only have the Switch and Radio Panels connected, the Throttles on the X55 work fine. Obviously, this means I use the on-screen view Auto pilot controls etc. This is not a correct fix, but is (so far) my only solution to get the Throttles to work. Any assistance would be appreciated, as it is extremely frustrating not being able to fly the brilliant IXEG B737 Classic correctly. I have attached the Log and Gizmo Log text files, in case they can shed some light on the problem? Mike Log.txt GizmoLog.txt
  4. I have Thrust Reverser mapped on a button on my Throttle. However, I have tried to disable this but the problem still exists! I am beginning to think that the problem is due to the device drivers?
  5. Hi Yes that is correct. All is working, until I have completed the engine start. ( I have since discovered that my Saitek Switch panel may be the culprit! When I switch on Battery Master , ALT and Avionics Master - on the Saitek switch panel - (which then light up the radio and comms/navigation panels) , I found that the Throttles don't work. However, if I switch off the Avionics Master on the Saitek switch panel, the Throttles work again (but the Radio/Comms panel are black). Likewise if I switch ON the Avionics Master to see the Radio/Comms read-outs, then the Throttles don't work. I have attached the log files. Log.txt GizmoLog.txt
  6. Hello everyone! I am looking for some help on the following issue: I seem to have a problem with the Saitek X55 throttles when using IXEG's B737 Classic. When I first run the sim, everything works fine and if I try moving the throttles, I can see the throttles moving on the sim. However, after I have gone through the engine start up procedure for the aircraft, and all engines are running and there is nothing shown on 'Recall', the simulator throttles don't move when I use the Saitek X55 Throttle controller. I have tried re-installing the drivers, and re-starting the computer, but the problem is still there. I have to say, that when I first bought the IXEG B737 and installed it, everything worked fine. I have my computer set for automatic up-dates, so may have had some new updates installed. I have tried looking at the settings and the throttles are correctly mapped. Any help would be appreciated, as I enjoy flying the brilliant IXEG B737 Classic!
