Three things of import.Some Saitek equipment doesn't work well with USB 3. The problem can come and go, so even if it's working at the moment, plug them into a USB 1 or 2 port. They don't need the speed anyway.
Did you download the
SPECIFIC Pro Flight Instrument Panel driver or the universal driver? If the "universal driver", go to the UK Saitek driver site and download the
Pro Flight Instrument Panel driver -
Driver and Software Downloads. I don't know why, but the driver from the UK site works best.
The one that you want is called - Pro_Flight_Instrument_Panel_7_0_47_1_x64_Software.Next. Do you have
Windows 10? Read and do what they say here -
Fix issue: USB Ports not Working in Windows 10Not a "MUST DO", but a
"you should probably do". Uninstall all of the Saitek software
except the
Pro Flight Instrument Panel driver, and get a free program called -
SPAD. This free program will give you MUCH better control over your Saitek panels
(except for the Pro Flight Instrument Panel). I use a newer, more powerful program called
SPAD.neXt, but the older SPAD is easier to use, and as I said, MUCH better than the Saitek panel drivers.
Other than that, Welcome to SimV.
