There is always one that misses something and can't get the simplest thing to work. I unzipped this folder to temp folder on drive and was unable to get anything to open except the "H" icon in tool bar . Then I unzipped folder in to the main IL-2 folder and still no open program or options..???? :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

I have XP PRO

Saitek throttle Quad(3) levers, (3) switches

It sounds to me as if someone did not read the instruuuuuctions
I included a bit more basic 'where to begin' text in the latest 3.1 update, that I finished and uploaded just minutes ago. See the first post of this topic for details and download link. The program and it's folder can be unzipped anywhere, and maybe it's easier not to have it in the IL-2 folder. Start by reading the "where to begin", and go from there.

I have a Saitek Quadrant too, by the way.
Just to help out for AFTER you have come as far as to figure out which ID slot your Saitek Quadrant is located on (nothing that I can control, or even know, nor my program), to make it easier for you to assign buttons and levers.

Let's assume that your Saitek Quadrant is located on ID slot 3 (it is probably 2, 3 or 4), then we put the number 3 first. At the end is the lever letter, or a button:

3joyx (this is the first lever)
3joyy (second lever)
3joyz (third lever)

3joy1
3joy2 (these are the first rocker switch buttons, up and down)

3joy3
3joy4 (these are the middle pair)

3joy5
3joy6 (the last pair)

3joy7 (the thrust reverser 'button' - when you pull your first lever all the way down to the bottom)
3joy8 (same, for the second lever)
3joy9 (same, for the last lever).

This doesn't make sense to you now, but after you read the instructions and all that, it will and can be useful.
