  1. Rudder, Auto Pilot and Radio Stack for sale £150.00 + P&P I will also throw in a Yoke and throttle which no longer work but may be repairable. Al
  2. Saitek rudder pedals, Radio Stack and Auto Pilot. VGC £180. I'll even throw in a none working Yoke and Throttle as well as a Keyboard mapped and labelled for GA. Alan
  3. I'm posting again in this area in the hope that I may get more productive responses. After 15 month or so away from X Plane 11 and even powering up the PC with it on I'm trying to get back into simming. When I switched the PC on (Windows 10) it spent a lot of time automatically updating itself. When it finished I loaded X Plane 11 and updated that as well only to find that my Saitek Yoke no longer worked.It's not an X plane issue even though X Plane is not recognising the Yoke nor the Throttle quadrant. The rudders and radio stacks that are connected to the yoke work so the powered hub components are apparently working. When I try to install any of the available drivers, I've tried 3 to date the Logitech splash screen shows a green bar indicating progress which then just stops. The "Next" button is greyed out preventing further activity and Task Manager shows that the USB devices are not recognised. Logitech have suggested several solutions none of which work. The latest was to try installing the drivers on another machine. I tried installing on another 2 machines with exactly the same results. They are now suggesting a hardware problem. I don't understand how it can be a Saitek hardware issue if it's the driver install that is failing or a PC issue when I have tried 3 PC's Logitech are quite slow in responding so I'm getting a little desperate. Alan
  4. X Plane 11 demo. I used to use FSX but it's a lot more complicated to get going than X Plane 11. I used the demo and was so impressed I bought the full licence and still believ this to be the case. Al
  5. Why would I install Hotas drivers for a Saitek Yoke? The driver I've downloaded is: Flight_Yoke_System_x64_8_0_213_0 Which looks the same apart from the Yoke/Hotas difference. Al
  6. Bump with further information. I tried installing the USB drivers on 2 other PC's with the same results. The Logitech splash screen shows install progress stops and hangs. The "Next" button is greyed out preventing me continuing. Al
  7. I assume so it was beneath the "Gaming" title. The download works. The install shows progress then stalls. It wants me to press the "Next" button but that is greyed out and inactive.
  8. They took over, at least from a support perspective, a few years ago. If you go to Saitek you are re-directed to Logitech. Al
  9. I'm just returning to flight simming after a long lay-off only to find that Windows does not recognise my Saitek Yoke/Throttle. When I try to install the latest drivers in Windows 10 the Logitech splash screen freezes and the "Next" button is greyed out. Logitech support appears to be none existent. The web support page does not work and neither does the phone number. Does anyone have any bright ideas? Al
  10. mrzippy: You are correct, to date I have managed to eliminate most of the mouse usage. Easy in a Cesna but a little more difficult in an Airbus 321 :-)How do you get that Flight Control panel to display? That looks like a useful panel. Am I right in thinking that "armed" does not mean"deployed"? I know how to deploy the spoilers but my understanding was that if they are armed they should deploy automatically on touch down. Mine do not appear to do so. The issue I have is that the PAPI lights are all white but I get warnings that I am too low but I overshoot the runway. Alan
  11. My default Airbus 321 does not show a gauge for the speed brake as you suggest mrzippy, it displays the aircraft Tail number in that position. Alan
  12. I am having difficulty landing and I think it may have some thing to do with how the spoilers are deployed/not deployed. There are several commands in FSUIPC but I do not know which is the correct one to assign to a button: Spoiler Dec, Spoiler Inc, Spoiler Arm Off, Spoiler Arm On, Spoiler Arm Set, Spoiler Arm Toggle, Spoilers Off, Spoilers On, Spoilers Set, Spoilers Toggle. The first two are self explanatory but the other commands seem to be variations of the same thing. My understanding is that arming the spoilers should not deploy them and that this should be automatic on touchdown. Trouble is I'm too busy concentrating to change the view to see what is happening. Is there any indication in the cockpit that the spoilers are armed and subsequently successfully deployed? Alan
