Saitek TQ on a Mac? Anyone?

Anyone managed to get a pair of Saitek throttle quadrants (USB) working in X-Plane? On a Mac?

The quadrants show up fine in the hardware list, but X-Plane doesn't seem to recognise them, & they don't show up as a controller, can't be calibrated or assigned etc.

This is on a 2012 27" iMac, running Mountain Lion, X-Plane 10, 64-bit

If I reboot into Windows (Bootcamp) and run FSX, the quadrants work fine, so it's not a hardware problem.


(I have a CH yoke and pedals which both work fine...)

Further, I've established that the row of switches along the bottom of the TQ can be detected and assigned (not that I actually use them for anything right now). The log.txt file indicates that X-Plane has detected the throttles and claims each of the axes to be "uncalibrated". But no amount of cajoling seems to make it detect a lever movement.

Any ideas?
