August 23, 201510 yr Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone else with the X-55 HOTAS system had this problem. I set my flaps to SW1-2, and landing gear on SW5-6. But randomly, in FS the gear and flaps will come down/up in flight, or on the ground at random as if someone hit the switches without any user input. I calibrate through FSUIPC, and I notice when I want to assign commands to buttons/switches, it seems as if switches and buttons are randomly being pushed on their own erratically and I don't have time to assign a command because another switch toggles randomly. Does anyone have a remedy to this issue? Thank you so much! Luis Cortezwww.fusionairways.com

August 28, 201510 yr Please don't get upset at simple questions, like I get when I am looking for my car keys and my wife suggests looking in the "key drawer", which of course is the first place I looked.... LOL Have you tried plugging into a different USB port? Also, you might investigate (Google) Saitek device issues with Windows Advanced Power Management, though the characteristic of those issues are more often associated with Windows 8.X and Windows 10, and evidenced by the device going dark and cold (non-responsive).

August 28, 201510 yr Did you disable the joystick input in the options to make sure that no other buttons are causing the issue? Philip Manhart :American Flag: - "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something." ~ Plato
August 28, 201510 yr Is it plugged into a USB hub? If so does the hub have its own power source? the X55 is a power hungry device that does not like to share USB power!
