Stick hardover 10 mins into flights

[snappled]

Established in trimmed cruise flight on A/P, usually around ten minutes into flight, when A/P disconnects and plane rolls hard over. Is almost always happening on the first flight of any particular wwii session.

-sometimes resolved by unplugging joystick and reconnecting, sometimes by 'Redetecting' joystick, sometimes doesn't resolve at all unless game is exited and rebooted.

- has also begun happening in tanks, and affects steering and turrets.

-Never happens in MS flight sim, so its not the hardware or o/s.

-Win 7-64, Saitek X52 with up to date drivers.

...and I think I used to see this in atg once upon a time ... but not for a long time now.

Cheers,

Unsure Snap. I've got an X52 and I can't say I've seen this but I can do some AP testing.

I've had this a few times. Can't replicate, don't know when it happens, re-plugging the J/S solves the problem. Also have X52 pro.

I noticed my X52 would always have blinky connections, the serial adapter to the stick from the throttle was always loosey goosey.

I don't know about this though. I'll be honest, I don't have the ability to QA all the hardware. Especially that stick because it pissed me off so many times.

I'll be happy to retest it if we can figure something out for causality.

You can always solder the ends of the cable and bypass the plug. It's a bad design to begin with.

The other thing you might try is using a powered usb hub. Some computers don't give the thing enough juice to run correctly.

Power. didn't even think of it.

I connected through a USB hub with a separate power supply, and the issue is gone.

Thanks for checking into it Gophur. Great suggestion Sudden ...TY

S!

Ahh that's damn brilliant. I'll share that with BLOO.
