Would you mind private messaging me the email address you used to contact him? I've tried the [email protected] address on the forum website, but only got an automated response. Thanks!

So did anyone figure out how to resolve this issue? I'm having a similar problem. I tried to register at the Orbx forums while I was testing the demo, but thought that I maybe didn't get a verification email because I wasn't a paying customer. But recently I bought the Pacific Northwest region, and still can't get acces to the forums. Whenever I log in, I get a 'permission denied' screen and can't get to any forums, etc. I never did receive a validation email (and I did check my trash and spam folders to make sure it didn't end up there). I also emailed the forum admin, but only got an automated message that said that if haven't heard back in 48 hours, I was probably banned. As a new customer, I don't know why that would be the case, but it has now been 3 days and I haven't heard anything. Orbx seems to have great products, but I will think twice about buying in the future if I won't be able to get support forum access if I run into problems. Any thoughts?

I did a bit of searching on these boards for a similar problem and didn't find anything, so I guess this is either a unique problem or one that everyone else solved a long time ago.Whenever I'm flying, I'll temporarily lose joystick control for several seconds, and then it will recover and start functioning normally again. This will happen fairly regularly, usually every minute or two. I've tried a number of solutions to try to clear this up. I've tried using a PCI USB card and a powered USB hub. I've tried enabling the USB legacy keyboard and mouse options in my BIOS. I've tried setting my USB port to 1.1 only in the BIOS. I've tried switching to about a half a dozen sets of drivers (clearing the old set out each time).Does any out there have any other ideas for me to try? At first I thought it was an issue with my joystick (X-36 USB), but I'm not having this problem with any other sims.I have:Windows 98SEA7N8X Deluxe Motherboard512 MB RamAthlon XP 2800+ CPUI appreciate any help anyone out there can provide. Thanks in advance.
