Nicio Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hey there everyone, I have just come across an interesting issue, While flying several hours it seems that saitek yoke, throttle and rudder become inactive, My pc is Alienware m17x, it does not enter the sleeping mode or anything similar. I was wondering if there is any possible solution to that, only the hatch(view pan) work, all other buttons and axis sim deactivated. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Windows is saving power and turning off the USB power. Go into the Device Manager, find all the USB hubs listed, right click, properties, and turn off Windows power management on every one that has one.

Nicio Posted December 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Hey Pete, Came here again,Running fs2004 after 12h of flight it seams all usbs got off,and windows became wierd(not responding well) even with power management set because fsx works just fine.Is it good to remove the saitek joysticks and plug in as soon as I want to use? because it seems that if I unplug it then doesnt come on again,but if it remains on then there is no problem.please helpout obs: unplugged saitek joysticks so that noone bumps around and ruins my flight when iam away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pschlute Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 If your Joysticks are not responding, it is because the power management has turned them off......suggest you check your power settings again. If you want to disable them so they dont get bumped i suggest you use the FS menu item "disable joystick" rather than unplugging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FS does not re-scan devices after it has initialised, so if joysticks are not connected at load time, or disconnected and reconnected later, they cannot be used again (with FSX assignment) until you restart FS. With FSUIPC assignment, late connected or re-connected devices will work again if you visit the Axes tab in FSUIPC options -- it rescans each time you do this. You don't need to make changes, just call up the tab and ok or cancel out. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
