saitek pro yoke and sidewinder joystick problem

Featured Replies

I have a saitek pro flight yoke and a sidewinder precision 2 joystick that I use depending on the plane I fly.Boeing or Airbus.However, if I fly the airbuses I use the both the saitek and the sidewinder (saitek only for the throttles and flaps).The problem I'm having now is that when I choose the sidewinder in the controllers options in fsx after 2 minutes or so the sidewinder kind of "disables" itself, and I can only use the saitek.So I have to go up to the fs menus and choose the sidewinder again...and after 2 mins the saitek yoke auto selects itself again :( I made sure I was not disabling the joyistick (ctrl+k) and I was not.How do i keep the sidewinder enabled and use the saitek just for the throttles and flaps ?ThxVic

Sounds like Windows is powering-down the joystick? Check the power settings.Cheers,- jahman.
