Saitek X55 Throttle and X-Plane IXEG737 problem

[MikeAR]

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!

When you say they are correctly mapped you mean when you move the left throttle, you have the throttle 1 bar moving, and the same with the right throttle and throttle 2 bar ?

Maybe you could help us by posting your log.txt file after a session...

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.

I used the X65 and had same problem but with the SAAB.. The problem on my side was that I have an axis set for reverses. Once I disable the reverse axis, the problem was fixed.

But I don't have that axis problem with IXEG.

good luck

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?
