version 4.939 often not detecting my Saitek

[bjoerntiemann]

Hello Peter,

 

I am running version 4.939 under P3Dv2.5. Often FSUIPC is not detecting my Saitek Yoke, Peddals and Throttle during the game. I am unsing Win 8.1..

 

Do I have to install an older version to work it?

 

Thank you very much.

No, there has been no change whatsoever in any of FSUIPC's DirectInput routines for many years. It just uses standard Windows facilities to read active buttons and axes, same as FS. 

 

Windows 8.1 seems notorious for losing joystick devices.

Its actually not loosing during the game (like the common win 8.1. problem), my joystick in not working frome the beginning. Not detection in FSUIPC`s as well.
