flightsimmer747 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Hey all My pro flight yoke keeps disconnecting every now and then, im at my wits end trying to figure it out. Rudder pedals are fine. Pro flight yoke is an old saitek logitech pro flt yoke Any other ideas ive read to not use drivers from saitek as they cause more issues, so i updated with generic windows drivers Thought?

g7rta Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Hi, I used to own a Saitek yoke (I sold it after just a few weeks & bought the Honeycomb) but I’m pretty sure I used Saitek’s drivers for it. Maybe you should give them a try? Is the yoke plugged directly into the pc or are you using a USB hub? Plugging straight into the pc might be best. Another thought.. have you checked if you’ve got USB Power management enabled? Disable it if so. How to Enable or Disable USB Selective Suspend in Windows 10 via Control Panel Open Control Panel. ...

flightsimmer747 Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 Hi Steve, I tried via device manager to not allow usb to go in power saving mode. I'll your power plan setting idea.

g7rta Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I’m at a loss then. There are tons of posts about it though on various forums. Some saying they have fixed it, while others still trying to sort it. Have a browse… maybe you’ll find the solution. https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/pro-flight-yoke-disconnecting/376145 https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/topic/138723-solved-saitek-yoke-disconnects-delete/ https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/484674-saitek-yoke-keeps-disconnecting/ Regards Steve Intel I9-13900K - Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX - 64Gb DDR5 5600Mhz - Asus RTX4090 ROG STRIX 24GB 3x 43” Panasonic 4k TVs - Corsair RMx 1200W PSU - 2 x 2TB M.2, 2 x 4TB SATA III and 1 x 4TB M.2 SSDs.

flightsimmer747 Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 Thanks Steve, it is very strange, i will bite the bullet and buy another one, i already have the rudders and throttle so hopefully i have a faulty unit and a change will solve it. If that fails to ill move over to honeycomb but thats an expensive solution due to throttle being extra. Its too bad for this yoke, i love the feel of it and got many years out of it. Strange that some people have it working while others dont. I dont recall having this issue with fsx. I dont think its the sim tho. The reason i think its faulty or a power issue, is because my clock green light flashes and goes off everynow and then, thats when it disconnects. Had the green light not shown any signs of wear and tear i would of just blamed the driver or windows update. I have lots of equipment to figure out so this will be long before i get to fly an airliner as i did in the past. Next up mcp combo and fmc from vrinsight. Default planes for now and then FBW Wish me luck, this is all part of flight simulation lol I7 2.8 ghz laptop 16gb ram Ssd drive Rtx 3060 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g7rta Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) No prob. Sorry I didn’t solve it. You may be right about it though with the display going off like that. I presume you’ve got the default throttle unit that plugs into the yoke? When I bought the Saitek yoke, I also bought the additional throttle unit, which has a usb socket (I tried to connect the original throttle with the ps2 plug to the pc first of course… but computer said no LOL. They want you to buy the extra throttle unit) I still have that today & still use it (sort of) I’ve got one of the buttons set to activate VR.. one of the levers is set to mixture.. and another for the parking brake! LOL With one of these USB Saitek throttles, you wouldn’t need the Honeycomb Bravo throttles (althogh the Bravo is superb and so much better) Going back to your yoke, I agree it’s not down to MSFS, as some simmers with the same issue are using it with Xplane. Hope you sort it or manage to get a new one ok.

flightsimmer747 Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 Right on i have the regular one and do not have the usb version of the throttle. This is exactly why im going this route, eventually honeycomb or velocity will be my go to yoke. I also saw the Boeing one, which is very nice but expensive. This is my cheapest way for now. Luckily my rudder pedals will play nice with all other equipment. I7 2.8 ghz laptop 16gb ram Ssd drive Rtx 3060 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesilverfox Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Hi all, Flight sim upgrade 25/10/22 seems to have rendered my TCA Boeing flight Yoke inopp. In the options-profile page in default mode there are no inputs assigned anymore. Have tried everything to fix. Has anyone else had the problem? regards in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
