June 15, 201510 yr The FSUIPC is not bulletproof, it works about 98% of the time, which is why I reverted back to Windows 7. I never had a disconnect since. I stated a few years ago that this would be fixed in Windows 9 (before it was named Windows 10). I don't wish to be proved right, but it looks that way so far.

June 15, 201510 yr Commercial Member Windows 10 pre release fixes the dropout issue. jja Jim Allen[email protected]SkyPilot Software home of FSXAssist / P3DAssist
June 19, 201510 yr I echo what Jim said above. Have been using each successive "fast ring" Win 10 TP build since the fall of 2014 and have not experienced a single joystick dropout. The problem is resolved in Win 10.

July 5, 201510 yr This is the solution, why is the thread still going? Because its a useless and very unhelpful non-solution? I can't afford to buy FSUIPC at such a price just to get my joystick to not disconnect, a solution is not "Go spend money on this software so it just prolongs it." That is NOT a solution. I need a real one because I can't even alt-tab to another window without this issue. It seems to be when you leave the FSX window, staying in it is fine, lasts forever, but as soon as you Alt-Tab then it's lost and I gotta do the task manager trick.

The update to Windows 10 is completely free in the first year following release (29 July), and if you have a Genuine copy of Windows 7/8.1 then you will be able to upgrade your PC in place without losing FSX, and your drop-out issues are history. Again, the upgrade to Windows is completely free and all the follow-on support for Windows will be free for the life of that specific computer. Pretty bulletproof and you'll have the latest OS.

July 6, 201510 yr I can't afford to buy FSUIPC at such a price just to get my joystick to not disconnect, a solution is not "Go spend money on this software so it just prolongs it." That is NOT a solution. Assuming you don't have a Windows 7 license at your disposal, your only free solution for the time being is what Doug mentioned above - move to the Windows 10 pre-release and then to Windows 10 itself at the end of the month. That being said, the vast majority of flight simulator enthusiasts have paid licenses for FSUIPC due to its significant list of features above and beyond control filtering, making the FSUIPC option the strongly preferred one in the community overall. Good luck with your decisions! -Greg

In full screen I have big issues with this, so now I run in windowed mode with FSX-Borderless. Works like a dream. And as stated, there is no real solution other then FSUIPC and Windows 10. W10 comes out end of July so you've not got long to wait. But, maybe my tip above will help Chris Smith
July 7, 201510 yr Commercial Member There are now 2 cores that your apps can use. Really depends on the device but the heavy one is designed for desktop. Go figure. Based on all the refactored OS code, this is a really big thing. Regards jja Jim Allen[email protected]SkyPilot Software home of FSXAssist / P3DAssist
July 26, 201510 yr There is no solution. All of the fixes only work under a 4 hour flight. If you run fsx for 5 hours or longer, the joystick gets disconnected. Does Windows 10 fix this issue? Yusuf Keyre
July 26, 201510 yr Commercial Member As far as anyone can tell - Yes. Regards jja Jim Allen[email protected]SkyPilot Software home of FSXAssist / P3DAssist
July 28, 201510 yr Did anyone here install Windows 10 unto 8.1? Just did it and did a flight but fsx froze and crashed an hour into cruise which btw has never happened to me. Uiautomationcore.dll is there and I'm not running with stupid amount of addons either. Just the 777 and Taxi2gate Doha with ASN and REX. Does anybody know what's causing this? Yusuf Keyre
July 28, 201510 yr Remove the uiautomationcore.dll. Best regards, Jim Young | AVSIM Online! - Simming's Premier Resource!
