Drivers for Saitek X45 HOTAS for windows XP

[Cas141]

Hello

My Cougar HOTAS has given the ghost apparently.

I have. Saitek X45 HOTAS.

I do not have the cd with the XP drivers .

can anyone point me to where I may download them,please?

OR

failing that, will the joystick work by just plugging in and letting windows drivers work.

Does FSX recognize the HOTAS and allow mapping within the sim?  This would be sufficient without the SSE drivers, actually?

advice please would be appreciated.

Thanks

Edit to above…

 

I-have got the X45 working fine. I am  especially pleased with the throttle smoothness.

It was a straightforward set up via the Game controller icon.

I have a slight problem mapping a button to activate my Trackir  I will ask on a separate thread.

I believe Saitek was taken over by Logitech. Look at the Logitech site for drivers.

 

And for more extensive mapping functions, check out FSUIPC.

I really miss my X-45's. At the time I had 2 and the Zone was in operation for CFS2 so that says how long ago that was. But they made such a huge difference. And the throttle is indeed smooth after using some off the wall single stick for a few years. 

 

Saitek was indeed taken over by Logitech some years ago.

 

Good luck with your stick and throttle assembly Cas141.
