Did I do something wrong?

[Manok101]

I have seen over and over that registering my joysticks controlls in FSUIPC will counteract the windows 8 issue, however I did so, and it STILL loses connection, and will not function, so any idea on what my problem is? Can you calibrate the joystick without changing the default settings? Edit: buttons apparently don't loose connection, just the axies.

The only such statements I've seen about this are with folks assigning in FSUIPC, not simply doing joystick calibration and relying on FS assignments. But since I've no idea why Win8 loses these connections, and since FSUIPC uses the same DirectInput methods as FSX, I do not understand why there should be any difference in this matter.
