I've noticed My Saitek X52 Joystick Lights blink. At the same time I have no controls in FSX. I discovered that if I go to the Saitek Site and download the appropriate drivers , the lights stop blinking and I have My Controls back. It seems they start blinking after there's a re-boot. I've had a history of loosing controls in FSX and thought it was caused by FSInn or one of the other add ons like Plan G, now not so sure.

I read this happens sometimes with Windows 8.  Google it.  Don't know if there is a fix or not.  I'm on Windows 7.
