Saitek Drivers??
Answer I got from Saitek. Seems like they are passing the buck to Prepar3d
I have provided detailed instructions on how to properly download and install the drivers and software for our products. However, I do not have any information regarding Prepar3d setup. We did not manufacture or develop the simulator so I recommend contacting Prepar3d for configurations information. Driver and software process is listed below.
Please try this..
First Step: Disconnect all saitek controller
Next step: Delete the MadCatz and Saitek folders under your Temp file? Instructions bellow:
1. Click Start
2. Open computer tab
3. Open C drive
4. Open Windows folder
5. Open Temp folder
6. Right click MadCatz folder and delete the entire MadCatz folder.
7. Right Click Saitek Folder and Delete the entire folder.
Next Step: Lets see if the software is still installed
1. Click Start
2. Open Control Panel
3. Open Uninstall a Program
4. If you see anything that says X55 or smart technology > right click it and uninstall it. (You may see two instances so please make sure you uninstall both)
5. If you see anything that says pro-flight plugin right > click it and uninstall it (You may see two instances so please make sure you uninstall both)
6. If you see anything that says saitek direct output > right click it and uninstall it. (You may see two instances so please make sure you uninstall both)
7. If you see anything that says saitek > right click it and uninstall it.
Next step: Delete the Smart Technology, MadCatz, and Saitek folders under your Program file? Instructions bellow:
1. Click Start
2. Open computer tab
3. Open C drive
4. Open Windows folder
5. Open program files or program files (86) - ( check both)
6. Right click and delete Saitek, MadCatz, and Smart Technology folders.
7. Delete files out of recycle bin
Next Step: Device Manager
1. Open Device Manager
2. Expand Programmable Support and if it is correct it should look like this.
- Programmable Hot-key
- Programmable Root Enumerator
- Programmable Support for Keyboard

3. If there are any Yellow exclamation mark Right Click it and uninstall them.
4. If you have more than one Root Enumerator then you will need to uninstall each programmable root enumerator until you only have one programmable root enumerator showing.

I have several saitek peripherals all working perfectly on p3d. I have cessna pro yoke, pro flight pedals, throttle quadrant, trim wheel, multi panel, radio panel and switch panel.
I do not use the saitek drivers, I use SPAD drivers which I find a lot better. http://fstools.weebly.com/
