Strange calibration Mixture/Throttle/Propeller

Featured Replies

Hi,

I have  an issue where the power all of the sudden is lost inflight using GA (Comanche etc) and airliners (Maddog) and noticed some strange behavior with my Saitek Pro flight Quadrant axis.

When i calibrate them in MSFS after testing it out still using the controller menu , the axis starts not to respond to my inputs for all power management. The axis  after calibrating just stays the same posistion  when moving the levers.

Therefor i suspect it has something to do with this unit.

Anyone else having some sort of same issue with powerloss ? 

In the Maddog i lost engine one in air but manage to re engage it . 

Thanks 

Michael Moe

Hopefully, to fix your problem, check the device manager for power management settings. Specifically, look under "Human Interface Devices" and "USB Input Devices" to ensure you haven't selected the option to allow the computer to turn off these devices to save power. I had a similar issue and found success by adjusting the power management settings for each USB device individually. I believe this will solve your problem as well.

Thanks for having  me look there again. I guess some Windows update had it reset to "Activated" selective USB disabling again

Michael are you on Win 10 or Win 11 (I'm on Win 10 and don't know whether I've had the same happen)?

This kind of thing can be so aggravating...why oh why does updating Windows reset power setting?!!!
