FSX controller settings resets to default after my controller goes to sleep

[CMFA 0]

Hi guys !  What a nightmare... went to the toilet on a regional flight, on the Carenado Phenom 100 ( by the way it's an awesome bird to fly ), and took longer than I should, result, my controller went to sleep ( 4 minutes of inactivity ).

Glad I wasn't on VATSIM !

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Great I thought... How the heck am I going to land this thing without my careful assigned controller commands. I'm still learning the Garmin NAV on this bird and the keyboard was not enough. I had to abort the flight, reset FSX and restart the controller.

 

It's easy to press any button on the controller to revive it, however all button settings are reset to FSX default when that happens, A is pause, X is God knows what, etc. Does anyone know how to sort this one ?

 

I'm using an Xbox 360 controller with a wireless receiver on a USB port, it works good, I have a nice rumble with turbulence and landing, and also the wireless is awesome. 85% of the work load is on the keyboard and mouse. Please help.
