Hi,I have Win 7 with SP 1 and all updates. After waking from sleep mode, my two game controllers a flight yoke and rudder pedals (CH Products) are not recognized. They work fine after a computer restart, but if I use sleep mode, I can't get them to work in Flight Sim. They aren't even recognized in the calibration menu.ThanksRoy NH

try unplugging them from the USB ports and plugging back in. Also check your power settings and do not have them shut down to save power. Go into device manager and check the power management settings for each port.Vic

Sometimes USB devices will re-initialize properly if you Logoff then Logon (Windows) again, even if you are the only user.Rick

I think you can modify your "Power" settings to prevent the USB ports from going to sleep.

RoyPaul is correct every time your controller goes to sleep when it wakes up, FSX thinks that it is a "new" controller and applies the default setting(s). You should also ensure that any USB port/hub you use for CH products is powered and/or connected direct to the mobo, and then you must ensure that the USB connection is not turned off to save power (Device Manager) - otherwise the same thing will happen.Bob Church over on CH Hangar is a great resource for CH products if you need further help.RegardsPeterH

Thanks for this post guys some of my Saitek panels do the same thing so I would reboot to get them back on. Went into Device manager and found that power setting on my USB's and turned it offThanks again
