August 22, 20169 yr Author many thanks guys- I am new to saitek hardware-I too had the yoke and the throttle freezing. i decide to plug them directly into the mother board usb port and luckily all is ok. qas adam
August 22, 20169 yr I gave up with the trim wheel after hours of frustration- my advice, forget it and buy Goflight trim wheel (GF-LGTII), simply a joy to use, and so much more besides a trim wheel. Nathan Brennan
August 22, 20169 yr Goflight trim wheel (GF-LGTII) Gf trim wheel is just too small.. might as well use elec trim. Its like turning a quarter. They need to make it larger closer to the real thing. Manny Beta tester for SIMStarter
August 22, 20169 yr Search Google for Saitek USB and Windows Advanced Power Management. There are easy to apply fixes that will likely cure the issue described. There are several topics in the joysticks and controllers forum here on Avsim.

August 22, 20169 yr Looked for, but they all referring to IND 8 & 10 where I'm running WIND7 Pro 64 bit tnx
August 23, 20169 yr Read this topic from start to finish and see if the fixes there help. Its not Windows 10 specific. I had the drop out problem With Saitek devices with Windows 7. Tried powered USB hubs, Saitek external power supply for my yoke, etc. None fixed the issues. The fixes to Windows Advanced Power Management eliminated the drop outs. Now a happy camper. http://www.avsim.com/topic/487471-guidelines-for-saitek-and-usb-hubs/#entry3409934 Frank Patton Corsair 5000D Airflow Case; MSI B650 Tomahawk MOB; Ryzen 7 7800 X3D CPU; ASUS RTX 4080 Super; NZXT 360mm liquid cooler; Corsair Vengeance 64GB DDR5 4800 MHz RAM; RMX850X Gold PSU;; ASUS VG289 4K 27" Display; Honeycomb Alpha & Bravo, Crosswind 3's w/dampener.

Manny, I agree with you that GoFlight could improve on the trim, but unless simmers spend mega £'s on electric trim wheels, and have the space for it, we have to make do with what we can afford.

August 25, 20169 yr ..all my devices are unchecked so I Guess it's not the power management .. now the question is what else it could be
