Please never say that. All versions have numbers. The 'newest' is 4.944a. Check. Folks have been known to say "latest" or "newest" and really meant "the last one I noticed" and have been a year or more out of date.

 

Nevertheless, whatever version:

Assuming FSX sees the buttons (does it? You don't say), the most likely problem is an installation error by the Saitek driver. The registry entry assigning an ID is omitted. FSUIPC relies on the Windows Joystick ID (a number from 0 to 15) in order to read it.

 

There's a utility you can use to assign your own ID number, to correct this.  Please see this (new) FAQ subforum topic:
