CH flight yoke stopped in XP

[ulisses 1]

Hi,Somtimes I open FS2002 and my CH Flight Yoke LE USB isn't working, I check the control panel and it's installed, but no response.If I unplug and plug again the USB cable it works again.I'm using a generic winXP driver, I couldn't find a CH driver for XP. Any idea ????Thanks,Ulisses

Hi Ulisses,you don't need a special CH driver unless you wanna assign keystrokes to the yoke. In this case you use the control panel.You don't have a Via based chipset by any chance? In this case it should be a USB issue, and has nothing to do with your Yoke od FS2002.If you have one download and install the USB filter driver here:www.viaarena.com.It solved sleeping USB ports for me.Alex

I had a similar problem awhile back. What I did was manually stop my computer from shutting down my USB ports automatically.

By the eay--according to CH tech support there is a win XP driver for CH flight sim yokes on the chproducts.com homepage called chanlg08.exe. Unfortunately, the CH network is down right now.

That driver is for Gameport devices. We are talking USB here.Alex

[Guest mberg]

you're right--my fault--I was talking with tech support about a gameport device--not a USB.
