msx does recognise my old ch yoke & pedals when I start msx,unless I unplug & replug the usb connectors,they are in a hub but makes no diff hub or direct.After replugging they both work perfectly,but I have to do this each time I start MSX,never had this prob with MS9?I have them set just the way I like & dont really want to reset every thing againHave Win7-64bit ,both show in hardware/ devices/& trouble shoot shows no probsThanks in advance for any ideas?BobG

Sorry you had to move this Tom,didn?t consider it a harware prob ,but a msx recognition prob BobG

Set up your controllers they way you want them, then save a copy of the Standard.xml file. If you lose the settings again, just copy/paste it back into FSX.

Also double check your power settings - you may have the USB ports set to power down when not used - this would also cause what you are seeing.Vic

Thanks Jay & Vic for reply,my post should have read msx does not recocognise my ch controlers at start up til I replug the,must be in start up settings,they show up in devices & work perfectly after replugging? BobG

thanks for suggestion Vic,,power usb settings in advanced are now disabled,but both pedals & yoke go to sleep until I replug them,then work perfectly,Im sure your on the right track,are there any other sleep type power settings I should look for Thanks BobG (maybe to old for compooters)
