Saitek Radio & Multi Panel FREEZE but not yoke & throttle

Featured Replies

Well, as described above...my Saitek Multifunction display, Radio panel, and button panel will randomly freeze. FSX will pause when this happens. When I Unpause it....the panels are frozen where they were and no longer work. I've got to finish the flight using the on screen main panel. I've reloaded the system and it seemed to work fine. But it has started again. Sometimes it's during the passenger loading of the aircraft when I'm using the panel for atl. changes, heading...etc. Other times it happens towards the end of the flight when I use the multifunction panel to begin the descent. I'm outta options. I'm running windows 7 w/8gb ram. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.Jeff

No..i tried that before and stall had the same problem. I'll give it a try again though. Thank you.Not now...I did try that before....but the problem still came up here and there. I'll try it again though. Thank you.

Have you disabled power management? Perhaps your PC is powering down USB devices due to inactivity, e.g. wen flying on auto-pilot.Cheers,- jahman.

Ck your Process's in Task Manager, if you have two multi panel entries this will cause the problem you are speaking of. This is usually caused if your FSX has crashed as the last instance did not close properly. Josh

Guys...thank you for all the help. Power management helped alot of different things. And there were multiple task problems. Especially when I added SPAD...removing them did the trick. Runs like a charm. Thanks again.]Jeff

Glad to hear your Saitek gear is running OK. Happy simming!Cheers,- jahman.
