January 19, 20215 yr I am running MSFS 2020 Ver 1.12.13 under W-10 on a gaming computer...my X52 Pro is several years old but is recognized by FS and I can configure it... driver version is 8.0.213.0 (I believe)...the only problem is that when I try to increase throttle on an aircraft, the engine(s) die(s)...I think this problem began recently and I can't find the solution...even reset the X52 to its default settings in FS and that did not help... nor did reinstalling the driver... Any help appreciated... John H.

January 19, 20215 yr Mine did the same (I used only the HOTAS throttle, have separate yoke). Nothing I did helped and eventually I replaced the X52 throttle with a new Saitek throttle quadrant (all I could find).
January 19, 20215 yr Author Hi all...thanks for the replies...Frank, I have not tried that, but will...hopefully I can figure out how to do it...will report outcome...
January 19, 20215 yr Author Frank...I went to the control panel and found power management there...it was currently on high and changed it to normal...sadly, that did not solve the problem... Did I do what you were recommending?...if not, could you please explain in more detail how to do what you recommend... Thanks, John H.
January 19, 20215 yr I have the same setup. Since the last update, I have lost the twist rudder support and have had the throttle do exactly what yours is doing. Have no idea if the update even touched any of the control stuff, but my sim has been parked until the next update.
January 19, 20215 yr Author Hi all...I think I found an article that tells how to do what Frank suggested...it can be found here... https://apteryx.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041367673-Disable-USB-Power-Management-Selective-Suspension Unfortunately, though trying all the steps, it did not cure the problem... your mileage may vary...I am thinking that DF has nailed the problem.. the latest update from MS...I guess we can wait and see...my old XBox controller still works, as does my new Logitech 3D Pro Extreme stick... still I would like the X52 to work to compare to the 3D Pro...
January 28, 20215 yr Author Just a short update...I tried just by X52 throttle combined with my Xbox controller...worked fine, though not the ideal combination...then I treid the X52 throttle with my new Thrustmaster 1600m stick and had the same old problem... I would really like to use my X52 throttle with my Thrustmaster, though the throttle on it works fine... John H.
