EXACTLY the same crap i'm getting. Vanilla install of FSX ran fine, bought &
installed Saitek Pro Flight yoke & throttle quadrant and *bang.* Thought the
throttle quadrant must be faulty, spent ages trying to browse forums to find
out the saitek hardware was at fault, then got bored. Tried to play without
the throtle, using k/board for engine commands, and the same crap is
happening.

Would appreciate some MS input here ^^
