If both the throttle axis are showing as working in the Control Panel then it sounds like one hasn't been assigned to the Axis throttle in the 'Axis set up Menu'.

What happens when you try and assign it as the throttle axis, (do you get a message that that axis is used for elevator trim or does it show the same axis description e.g, RX, RY etc)? In which case it sounds like CloD doesn't recognise the throttle has having two independent axis.

As for keystrokes not working with Stick plugged in. Check that you have the keystrokes assigned in the keystrokes set up and save/name it - then press 'apply'. If keystrokes still fails to work then its probably a conflict or problem with Saiteks Magic Kyboard driver, you can test keystrokes and button assignments in the SST software using the 'test function'.

As a last resort, try Saitek technical help, they will tell you how to delete/disble all the Saitek drivers and Magic Bus stuff then do a re-install or use something like Xpadder to programme the stick. They may even suggest you return it - in which case get a refund and get an X52 or X45.
