Hi,

I have had this problem for some time now and tried troubleshooting it before, but never solved the problem. I am flying FSX with CH Yoke and Pedals, and have Windows 7 64 bit with SP1.

Whenever I use sleep mode and wake-up the computer, both my Yoke and Pedals aren't recognized. I have to unplug them and reinsert the cables, and sometimes it takes many times before I get the correct connecting sound. Finally after several tries I get a successful connection. If I just restart the system there is no problem. Only with Sleep mode.

 

I remember some setting in Windows that someone suggested me checking but it didn't make a difference. Apparently there were others with the same problem as I remember.  Does anyone know if there is a fix or workaround for this?  Thanks.  Tom

Sorry I can't help you directly, because I never get that far, my mouse beer works after sleep mode....

 

It's probably related, something to do with the USB maybe?

 

Will be watching this thread.

Make sure your OS is up to date.  I had heard of this and believe there was a KB for it.

 

If that doesn't work, then open up Device Manager, and open up the arrow next to Universal Serial Bus Controllers.  Right Click on the applicable USB entries and select Properties.  A properties window will open and there is a Power Management tab.  There is a check box that says "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" which you can uncheck.  Try unchecking it, so that the USB ports for your Yoke and Pedals never go to sleep in the first place. 

Tom,

 

I agree with KingGhidorah, however, I had the same problem on my old WIN7 machine. Then I turned off the Sleep mode not allowing my computer, nor monitor, to sleep. I never had a problem after that.

 

Then, I got my WIN8 computer, immediately shut off the sleep mode. I did what KingGhidorah stated, plus a lot more and my CH Yoke and pedals would still disconnect...sometimes in mid flight. I did what King stated to every USB Controller, and, I did it to every Human Interface Devices USB Device entries. Connect your yoke and pedals to the USB port first, before you go into the properties. And, always plug them into the same USB port after that.

 

With that said, that still didn't fix my problem of my yoke and pedals disconnecting. I finally configured them in the FSUIPC (payware version), and haven't had a disconnect yet, for almost three months.

 

Hope you get it figured out.

Unfortunately the CH drivers don't respond to sleep and wakeup events and cannot restore after sleep.

Thanks for the advice guys. Tom
