Hey guys. I have recently re-acquired the Saitek throttle, yoke, switch panel and multi-panel. My question is I have seen a bunch of threads stating that the hardware does not work with the Level D 767, CS757 or any of the PMDG Aircrafts. I am running on Windows 7. I have heard and downloaded the program called SPAD but not really sure how it works and don't want to mess with it where my system gets all messed up. Does anyone on here use any of the Saitek products and if so, have they been able to get it to work with any of the above listed aircrafts? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Saitek works fine with all of those products. I set up the controls through FSUIPC.

Yes. You'll need the full payware FSUIPC to be able to custom program the buttons and levers. I had issues to I bailed and went back to the free FSUIPC that comes with DVA aircraft.

Agreed, I too have Saitek controls, buy the FSUIPC and you will be happy! Also for some sims after you have FSUIPC loaded you may need LINDA, but with these you can fly everything from Boeing to the fly by wire Airbus that if you dont have the right setup you'll never get the throttles to work right!

So which FSUIPC do I need. I have the payware one. Should I be using that or the DVA one? Also, with regards to setting the switches and whatnot up on the program, will they remain the same for say the CS 757 and PMDG or will they be different so I will need to create separate profiles?
