Is there any discussion on programming Saitek yoke & pedals on SimV? I searched but can't locate one.

Fozzer: Thanks for the tip. I just ordered a set of pedals and yoke (saitek) and haven't yet rec'd them. I am hopelessly non-technical and just wanted to study up on programming these devices in advance. It took me weeks to figure out how to program the AV8R stick. :-/ Incidentally, do these controls come with default functions?

FS will assign most controllers to the correct functions, but you should check them when you start up the sim with them the first time.
Never used Saitek, but I have CH Products yoke and pedals, and plug and unplug them all the time. Every time I plug them back in, they assign themselves the correct axes.

I would say that you can expect the axis' to likely be correct as soon as you plug them in, as for the buttons on the yoke and throttle, they can be changed in the same manner that you were able to adjust the buttons and toggles on your AV8R (as Fozzer said earlier)
