    Saitek Switch Panel issues.

    What do we think the problem is here. My Saitek switch panel works about 50% of the time in FSX. Sometimes it works after a while, sometimes it works and then stops working. In P3D it works 100% of the time. During start up you can tell if all is well as the initialisation process involves the landing hear lights, lighting in succession.

    It doesn't matter whether you involve Saitek drivers or SPAD drivers (I favour SPAD) the results are the same.

    Would this be a SimConnect issue? Or an FSUIPC issue? If so how would it be resolvable? Another issue? I tend to run FSX in DX10 mode but the problem exists in DX9 also.

    I know the panel itself has known connectivity issues, you should not connect it through a hub for example, it must go to a PC USB which I do.

    I would ask at Saitek, but their support is shamefully non existent.

    Ideas?

    I have seen this behaviour in the past and I resolved it by plugging the switch panel into a different USB port -- I run all my Saitek panels through a hub so I just kept trying various ports for them until all initialized in FSX properly all the time. Apparently, Windows can mess with USB initializing sequences which can further complicate solutions for issues like this.... Good luck.

    Yes tried all that, I've settled on a valuable USB3 socket which seems to work some of the time.
