P3D v3, Smooth Takeoff then Stutters, Beeps and Requires Power Down

Finally had a chance to try this.  I just disconnected the trim wheel.  Tried a few hours of test flights and everything worked fine.

 

A big thank you to those that pointed me in the right direction.  I am now using the smaller Saitek trim wheel in the auto pilot module.  It works, but is very slow.  Adjustments in SPAD haven't made a difference.  Anyway, that's a minor issue until I try the dedicated trim wheel again.

 

 

Best,

I second Rob's advice. That worked for me. Also, consider not installing the driver.

Thought I had fixed the problem but to my dismay it reappeared today.  I suspect it may have something to do with GSX as it always seems to happen during the GSX pushback procedure....

Had this problem again last night on a flight from IAH to DEN.  Happened when puling into the gate without GSX.  Very annoying.  Never happened before Prepar3d 3.0..

Every now and then on initiating a flight, if stutters set in, I jump out to the task manager to see what process is causing it, and I have found it to usually be ASN. Since i lessened some of the settings in ASN, it has been less frequent.

Lee, can you PM me your ASN settings that you changed to help alleviate the stutters?  I too am having that very same issue, and it's maddening.

There may be 2 issues.

 

We know the trim wheel works with FSX and creates a major problem in P3D v3. Although, that doesn't mean the driver is good.

 

The other problem is that, even when it works in FSX, the wheel needs a spin to wake up. I suspect that spin is needed to wake up a sleeping USB port? Will try setting my ports to not save energy or sleep. Hoping v3.1 will solve, or at least work around the main problem.

Jim, there's a lot of settings you can adjust in ASN. I don't know if I can list them all. The most important is to not have more than 2 or 3 layers of clouds and to reduce the visibility of clouds. I am using 70 miles at the moment. There are other tweaks as well. They even make suggestions on each page. Uncheck the stuff you don't think you need.
