ALL my Saitek products have been working just fine in all my previous versions of P3D but suddenly my Multi Instruments has stopped working and there is no "led text/lights" in my other panels. I run the Multi/Switch-panels through SPAD and it works just fine. Have NOT tried it via FSUIPC. Also my yoke/throttle quadrant/pedals work fine. 

 

Yes I took a copy of my exe.eml before I updated from 2.3 to 2.4. Yes I have checked that it points to the right Saitek driver libraries. Yes I have updated to the latest Saitek drivers. Yes I have watched the Frooglesim video on YouTube.

 

Any ideeas?

Strange, its probably not 2.4 as I run Saitek Multi panel, radio and switch and all led panel works well. I had one time an event where the led panel was not working for a flight but rebooting solved the problem.

 

I have moved several of the switches functionnality to Linda which is a free software and I prefer the user interface where you see on a single screen all the assignment for the button. 

Do you use Windows 8.1 Jack because I have had the same problems when I switched from Windows 7 to Windows 8, I have tried it three times with clean installations but whit no luck, I did search the internet for a solution but never found it, so I am back to using Windows 7 again and keep my fingers crossed for Windows 10.

Yes Ruud, you are so right Win 8.1. But not changing back to 7 as we will see the release party for WIN10 Wednesday 21/1 at  18.00. It is sent live over the net. So I will wait and see.

Hi Jack,

 

Just a couple off day's ago I was offered this solution for the Saitek Panels disappearing LEDS it seems this has all to do with the USB power configuration under W 8.1.

A fellow member from my Virtual Airlines pointed me to this link with a free program that sets the USB power to full, so I did installed W 8.1 again and tried it out and the holy grail is here all my Saitek panels worked again the same as they did under W 7 here is the link to this utility and I hope it turnes out good for you also.
