I just pulled my Saitek X45 out of cold storage and dusted it off (8/19/18). I installed the 64-bit drivers and the Profiler/Profile Editor software pack on my HP laptop running Win10 (SP 4/18).
Is there a problem with the throttle on Saitek?
Until a couple of days ago, everything worked like a dream, but now I cannot get the throttle to fully reduce power – resulting in some rather hairy landings! A full calibration and test of the Saitek shows that it responds correctly and fully on all axis but in FSX the throttle, pulled fully back, only reduces power down to about 30%.

After a few tires, really quick and effective to reduce the axis range, for example. For my wheel, the x axis ranges are by default 0-128-255 (first value is leftmost turn range, third value is rightmost turn range), so I can set up 96-128-160 to get a much narrower wheel range. Also playing around with deadzone helps sometimes.
