8.1 and fsiupc here. the only work for me. Now upgraded the DX10 preview fix for FSX work very nice so far. Before w8.0 and fsiupc setting worked and the only way to avoid the disconnect problem. Have tried every thing in this threed and found out that the fsiupc and power saving setting make it all.

Used the fsiupc solution now some month and none single disconnect. Yes its the only way to kill this problem. i have tried everything expect revert back to windows7. Remember to disable all buttons also in FSX Settings.

Thanks a lot for information. i have the same light. Now i know how to fix it. Great work gentlemen.

Connection to iPad or similar hand devices. You can monitor and handle your longhaul's when at work with your Hand device. PMDG 777 will run as server for you capt. Possible? probably..

hahaha Good one We have time to wait anyway. Quality first !

FSIUPC setting above really work. but only after deassign Everything in FSX for the yoke and pedal. Also buttons. i forgot one only button and the problem was there intermittent. Now it work for the second week and i flying every day. I have not experienced any problem with PMDG product so far. and hardly waiting for the T7. There is only one other solution but that hard. Go back to windows7. "Point the third finger to Mr Ballmer for that".. Nicoma

Hehe The day best comments.. Thanks Mr Randazzo

JOS! If you have same problem in windows 7 whish i never had it is another problem and another solution. Did you try the tip in previous posts in this threed? e.g the regedit nicoma

Moral is correct. but to late for us that was stupid and test it. You know the hard way back to flying hehe. We never give up. nicoma

Dear Mathew! it happend also with fsiupc but the program i talk about override and talk directly to the FSX.. So far it work here. nicoma

Hi again! the windows 7 Tools didnt work. I got reply from Microsoft social forum and they recommend me to reinstall windows 7. not a Word about a fix for windows 8 from them. However i found a software that sence fix the problem with the disconnecting usb and it a pilot from GAE virtual. The program talk direct with simconnect for the FSX and so far when the usb was disconnected this program still have the usb alive. How i know that is i configure all button without one. It is worth a try before i format my systemdrive and revert back to wndows 7 i did only 2 flights and it seems to work. link to the site is: http://va-gae.eu/flightoperations/download/fsx-joystick-tool.html The site is on german! I unzipped it on desktop! 1. start fsx 2. run the program See that the program talk with simconnect Configure all device and SAVE. Next time you start FSX you only need to start that program and get your saved profile from the program. just click save and fly. Im not sure if you need to do that every time. im not pro in german language but i try to learn it. nicoma

I say wait also! Here is Another one i found on TechNet. I will testing it now and will replay after one month of succés if that regfix work. Test below on own risk and only if you really know how to change value in register. Quote Step 1: Determine the specific USB host controller a.Click Start, type devmgmt.msc in the Start Search box, and then click devmgmt.msc in the Programs list. b.On the View menu, click Devices by connection. c.Expand the processor node. For example, expand ACPI Multiprocessor PC. Note The node names in this procedure vary depending on the hardware. d.Expand Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System. e.Expand PCI Bus. Several USB host controllers will be listed. f.Expand each USB host controller node, and then expand successive subnodes until you find the name of the device that is failing. For example, the device entry may resemble the following: ACPI Multiprocessor PC\Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System\PCI Bus\Intel® ICH8 Family USB Universal Host Controller - 2830\USB Root Hub\fingerprint reader Notes?The fingerprint reader is typically listed as a biometric device. ?The specific USB host controller should not be used to control any externally available USB ports. For example, only internal integrated USB devices should be listed under the USB Root Hub node for the specific USB host controller. g.When you have located the device, right-click the associated USB host controller, and then click Properties. In the example that is listed in step 1.f, right-click Intel® ICH8 Family USB Universal Host Controller - 2830, and then click Properties. h.Click the Details tab. i.Select Driver key in the list. j.The driver key will resemble the following. Note the last four digits of this driver key. {36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000}\0002 Step 2: Add the ForceHCResetOnResume registry value for the USB host controller a.Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then click regedit.exe in the Programs list. b.Locate and then click registry subkeys that resemble the following: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000}\Four-digit_number Notes?In this step, Four-digit_number is a placeholder for the USB devices in the system. ?In this step, you must locate the registry subkey by using the value that you noted in Step 1.j. For example, if the driver key from Step 1.j is {36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000}\0002, then you must look for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000}\0002 c.On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value. d.Type ForceHCResetOnResume for the name of the DWORD, and then press ENTER. e.Right-click ForceHCResetOnResume, and then click Modify. f.In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK. g.Exit Registry Editor. h.Restart the computer.

Exactly! It worked perfectly long time Just now the yoke and pedal was lost again for the first time. Im sorry. Dont try that drastic plan !! I give up until 8.1. For info when it happen it alltime happen when clicking outside FSX. so there must be something with the METRO UI and Classic UI. The badly thing is i cant revert to windows 7 ultimate. Guess if i hate microsoft for the moment. nicoma

Hello!I cant reproduce the usb disconnect problem anymore. I found and im pretty sure it is a bug due the 2 layer Classic and metro style windows. living tiles. What i did and it toke long long time. one by one tests. 1. in Control panel device manager check each USB Power management. (did not help but less disconnect) 2. Power save advanced mode turn off USB sleep (did not help) 3. Control panel system performance background task changed option program /background task (did not help) 4. installed the Classic Shell. (did not help) installed for Point 5. 5. Because i do not need any living tiles at the metro style windows i rightclick on each tile. YES ! Everyone but not the tile that chenge to Classic screen. and deleted it from metro windows. (That helped) My error occured everytime when i flying and clicked outside the FSX e.g fscommander or REX WX system to check metar or any other program outside the FSX like Squawkbox or ivap. I did several longhauls not and tried to reproduce the disconnect error. stressed the system and did not get any disconnect of the USB. If you are sure you not need the metro liviing tiles just give it a try. I did also test the fsiupc to test reconfig yoke and pedals woerked but not good enaught. i could reproduce the error. To Microsoft i will say. Shame that you not fix this problem. When this computer living end i will chose another ecosystem. Best regards nicoma

It can happend but for me it work much better. if i overstressing the system yes. but it did not happend under normal use of flying here so far. I did a looooong haul today still not happend.after 10 flight's Im sure it is a microsoft issue. The bad side microsoft dont think that. Let see what happend in future. A big upgrade will come.
