I have a full set of Saitek controllers.

The yoke, the pro pedals, the thottle levers, a trim wheel, and a multi switch panel.

I can find absolutely no instructions on how to set nor change controller settings.

So I'm winging it.  The trim wheel shows in the list at the top of the screen as "proflight cessna trim wheel", the page is blank and there is not photo on the right side.

I start clicking on stuff and have no frigging idea how to make the trim wheel work.

I'm sure there has to be a way, but darned if I can figure it out.

Anybody out there able to point me in the correct direction?

I have it configured but it does not work properly. any touch of it induces a 40 degree climb or a death plunge.  Sadly, editing the profile etc did not work either.  I disconnected it and use a control on my Saitek yoke to trim up and down,  Works beautifully in XPlane and P3D.  

If anybody can reveal the correct settings etc, I will be a happy man again too.

Thank you for this. It was most frustrating because it works perfectly in my XP.

I have now bound the A toggle switch to nose up and down. Thanks.

Here are my settings

Works perfectly, at least in  the GA planes which I fly.

Kind regards, Michael

 

 

Michael,

I am just doing a complete uninstall at the moment following the last update.  (my third consecutive uninstall/reinstall following an update which breaks my DA62 and Bonanza G36.. both modded) so I will get back to you when that is sorted out.

Regards and thanks

I find the Saitek trim wheel (STW) is not initially fully installed under Win10 after boot-up and the wheel has to be rotated to initiate full loading. If I don't move the wheel until in-game the sim will freeze for ten seconds or so and initially random pitch the plane for a couple of seconds after the sim comes back to life. After that it works fine.
I have it configured as an axis in MSFS as per pmb's screen shot above.

Yes, there's something wrong with the driver. In 3 of 4 cases it works as advertised, however, in 1 of the 4 cases I have to turn the trim wheel in advance of starting the simulator. This has been my long-time experience for years and applies to MSFS as well as P3D.

I made it a habit to check it in the Devices and Printers Control Panel before starting any simulator. If I open the Trim Wheel game controller applet and don't see the crossbar moving when turning the wheel - in 1 of the 4 cases -, I close it, open it again and the 2nd time it always works.

I made this part of my checklist before running any sim.

Unfortunately, Logitech doesn't seem interested in any further development of the Saitek product line and moreover gave up support for the Cessna products which they abandoned.

Kind regards, Michael

Yep, "Joystick L - Axis X". But this isn't the essential information as it's input by the sim itself when you turn the wheel. The important part is the rest, i.e. select category FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACES and subcategroy ELEVATOR TRIM AXIS (-100 to 100%). From memory, I think there are a few similar entries.
