Saitek Dropping Out

Does anyone know if there is a fix to prevent the Saitek Cyborg X from dropping out of FSX? It still works for the programmed buttons I set in Profiler but the throttle axis and propeller axis stop working after awhile. A Switch to window mode seems to fix them. I have the latest Windows 7/8 64 Saitek drivers installed. Cheers jja

Are you using windows 8? There's some kind of bug in W8 that causes FSX or P3D to forget it has a joystick. It's not just Saitek.

Yup same issue here... Also had it happen tonight with CH force feedback 2. I am running Win 8 64bit. Have to say it runs FSX better than windows 7 "for me". If we get the joystick issue fixed I will be very happy with FSX. I have not run into those bloody OOM yet with WIN 8.

Is it plugged into a USB 3.0 port by any chance? I've had trouble with some of my Saitek hardware using 3.0, but 2.0 works great.

Hmmm, will have to check that our tomorrow night...

Doesn't FSX access all joysticks/controllers via DirectInput? I would think the problem lies somewhere in there.

I uninstalled EZDOK and installed the awesome OPUS FSX software which seems to have fixed the problem. Cheers jja

Ezdok affected your joystick? That doesn't really add up.
