This peripheral random disconnect is not limited to FSX or P3D. Folks are having problems keeping their G27 wheels working under Win8/8.1 as well.

Microsoft have made it clear that DX11 updates will only be available for Win 8.x from now on. Win7 users will be "stuck" at DX11.1 forever...

 

Darn it

Cause I installed in Win7 and CANNOT reinstall P3DV2 on Win8. It allows only one install. Tried it

 

Makes no diference to me if on 7 or 8 but if DX11 is only updated on 8 I should be 8

 

I did a uncheck for the idle USB disconnect options. (if you know what i mean ok if not I cannot explain...Google it)

Joystick with win81/p3dv2  works fine for me after I changed performance plan to high and disabled every usb energy save option. It is also imprtant to do the same inside of the device manger.

Have a feeling this bug affects anything that has Windows 8 code near it....i've had the controller on my new Xbox One lose connection a few times at random, brand new batteries too so that's not an excuse.
