    Try Autostar, a freeware program that gives you a lot of control over how stars are depicted. Search in the AVSIM library for autostarx.zip. And it does work in P3D. 

    Will look it up! :) Thanks!

    Knutt,

    Ok mate, If you are using a powered hub, (connected to a ac/dc power adaptor) it does not sound like a power problem. Looking further, given that this problem follows a Windows update (how I love them) I can only suggest that it may well be a driver problem. I am assuming this because no bdy else is reporting this issue (that I know of) following the update.  

    I would now go into Control Panel/device manager and uninstall (do not disable.. which is the other option) the Yoke device. Proceed to our friend Google, and find the Windows 10 Saitek yoke driver. This is available, I believe, from Logitech as well as other sources. Personally, I would opt for the Logitech version. Download...Install ... reboot and see what benefits you have derived from that.

    If this does not work, please get back to us.

    Cheers

    Tony

     

    The USB Hub I bought is not connected to power. It´s USB plugged 1 USB to 4 USB. I saw there is a power connector on the yoke, mabye I will try to buy a cable and power it up. The problem is that it is light on the throttle and nothing on the Yoke. And if I go to devices on windows, there is nothing displayed as it was nothing plugged in.

    I have that problem sometimes when i have other usb devices puggled, for example if i have the razer orbweaver connected together with the yoke, sometimes, and its not always(weird i know) my saitek yoke its not detected, i unplug the orbweaver and it comes to live like magic. Check if you have other usb devices conflicting with your yoke!

    I have a lot of USB connected. I can try to unplug all usb devices and plug only the Yoke.

    Knut,

    I have the full throttle saitek setup and quite often have had the same problem (only with the Yoke and connected quadrant) 

    To fix this I was always unplugging the USB cable...waiting for the kerplunk noise and reconnecting the cable, and again waiting for the kerplunk noise. I was doing this almost every time I connected to FS9. The final solution for me was to buy a powered USB hub (Belkin is a good brand I think) and reconnecting my trim, rudder pedals, extra quadrant and yoke. Problem was solved.

    I believe another solution is to maybe purchase the optional power supply for the yoke (and connected quadrant).  I do not know if that is going to work and nor do I know how much the power supply is going to cost you. BUT it is food for thought.

    Your symptoms are exactly the same as mine were so I wish you luck. I do not think (in my case) it was a windows issue.

    Please let us know if this works for you and bear in mind that other simmers may have other ideas or solutions. 

    Regards

    1+ for you! 

    That make sense. I will try to buy a USB hub later today, and see. Thank you for answering and for your empathy hehe! 

    The strange thing is that it worked fine before I reinstalled windows.

    Hi!
     

     I just did a clean install of Windows, and when I plugged Pro Rudder pedals it worked and installed the software, but when I try the same for my Pro Flight Yoke, I get no power on the joystick, but the throttle quadrant is giving a light who is connected via the Yoke.

    It's not detected in Device manager, not as Unkonown device or Saitek device. I dont know whats wrong?

    I think this is going to come down to individual controls and calibration.  However, I notice the effects of propwash, control effectiveness at various speeds, spins, slips are fairly accurate, much more so than in P3D, even with A2A counterparts.  I'm also coming from a light aircraft viewpoint.

    I do notice the default 737 is very touchy on the controls.  I have not flown 737 in real life, only light twins and singles.  With the latest update, ground friction has gotten a little bit better but acceleration still seems a bit off.

    Yeah mabye it´s my calibration. Nice to know how the difference is :D

    But the 737 in XP11 accelerate so quickly when ex taxiing, when you compare it to PMDG737 on P3D.  But that´s the programming behind the default XP11 aircraft and PMDG.

    The same happend to me. I was showing a friend my Setup and fired up XP11, and flied over his hometown. Said it was so realistic and it was gorgeous at night. Then I said to him that I dont play the game so much because I played another simulator. Then I fired up P3Dv4, and he didn't get why I was playing that instead of XP11. I told him that I about the addons I have for the sim and all the money I spent on it, and so on. XP11 is clearly the best looking sim, and I hope for a switch one day. But there is simply not enough addons yet and I have a "relationship" with FSX and P3D. If PMDG make 737NG for XP11, I will switch. Then I am sold. :D

    Good day folks! :)

    I just moved to P3DV4.1, from FSX.

    I installed P3DV4 on my D drive(Not C: drive where my FSX is), and later I moved it to my own map D:/P3DV4 inside the D drive. But I get some problems with ORBX who is downloading content to my D:/ not D:/P3DV4. 

    So the big question; is there a way to uninstall P3DV4 so I can change path, and not loose my addons? I have not the greatest donwload speed, so it would appreciate if there is a method, without having to download everything again. Takes 1 full day haha.

    Hi! I just moved to P3DV4.1, from FSX. I installed P3DV4 on my D drive(Not C: drive where my FSX is), and later I moved it to my own map D:/P3DV4 inside the D drive.

    But now if I download ORBX products I have to manually drag the from D: to D:/P3DV4 folder.

    When I run Vector Configurator, it can't find any airports in cfg, so when I start a flight I have ex. both ENGM payware scenery and FTX Norway scenery showing. The only thing I can do to fix it, is go to scenery library and move Aerosoft Oslo over FTX Norway(And that's so unnecessary, every time).

    Because every time I start P3DV4, FTX Norway, Vector and Global goes on top, over all my installed airports. What to do? 

     

    My ORBX products:

    Global

    Vector

    FTX Norway

    Trees

     

    I have a lot of addon scenery, for example; Airports of Norway, but Vector configurator can't detect any of the airports. 

     

    As attached, this is my D drive. Here I tried to manually disable one of the airports in Norway, but this is what happened. The files went to D:/ drive, not D:/ P3DV4. Is there something with the directory where P3D is? So FTX Central thinks its on D:/ But its actually in D:/P3DV4 folder??

    Screenshot who shows what I mean: https://imgur.com/a/menYY (could not post it here for some reason)

    Also, in the VECTOR Configurator, when I ex search for ENGM(Oslo), it's not showing up, but its not disabled by the Configurator. 

     

     

    Hope you guys can help me!
