DKPilot Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I recently had to reinstall everything FSX after my computer wound up having a problem and I had to get a second one. This one seems to work okay but when I installed the drivers for my Saitek radio panel and switch panel, only some of the functions are working inside of FSX. When I use the test tool that was installed everything works fine, well except for one switch on the switch panel but I don't think that's the problem. For example, the Off, R, L, Both/All, Start rotating switch works just fine but none of the light switches work. On the radio panel I can dial in a new frequency on the standby side but when I try to switch it between standby and active it does nothing. I can see the number changing on the computer and if I click the arrow on the radio in the panel of the aircraft, it switches so it is "working" to some extent. I reloaded the drivers and it didn't make any difference. Has anyone experienced this before and if so was there a solution. FSX Gold, Windows 10.

mabe5454 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Buy a "usb multiple hubs with external power". Do not feed power from main PC power supply. Good news: They are cheap. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKPilot Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Update. I found another post in the forums that solved the problem. I clicked on the lower left icon on the Windows toolbar and from the list of programs opened Saitek and clicked on Start Switch Panel Manually, or something to that effect. Sorry, I'm not on my home PC so I don't have Win 10 or FSX available right now. Anyway, this wound up making all the switches work and the toggle frequency button work on my radio panel.
