You know what Assumptions are Pete :mrgreen: But that being said - in this case the assumption was 90% correct. You can disable power management via the Device Manager in Windows - but it resets itself once you boot since Win7 follows the Power settings and re-enabled mine. Changing the Advanced Options in the Power Management solved the problem Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Pete - I don't know what the flightsim world will do without Pete Dowson!!!!!!!

I am currently experiencing a problem with my mother board in that it occasionaly loses a USB connection (frustrating I know and am awaiting a replacement from the supplier). It is apparently a known problem with the asus p8z68-v pro gen3 motherboard :???: I use FSUIPC as sole means of axis assignment and calibration (FSX enable controllers is set to off). The weird part is that the USB port will re-connect to my yoke and throttle (immediately) but the only way I can make them active again in FSX is to open FSUIPC and then close it again - thats all that is required to 're-connect' the yoke and throttle to the sim Is there a setting/switch/auto-connect functionality I can implement/program to stop me having to 'reload' FSUIPC to enable the controllers? As an interim measure - things happen s..l..o..w..l..y around my part of the world :mrgreen: Many thanks
