martinc Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Hi folks, Need some opinions on a hypothetical control setup for FSX, ie how would FSX handle the following..... Four port USB hub with the following mix of controls plugged into it. ch-pro yoke ch-pro pedals Saitek throttle quadrant and possibly a go-flight module... Would FSX spit the dummy and not recognise all the inputs or is it smart enough to sort them and let you assign controls as you need them?. At the moment i'm using one USB for the yoke and one for an old set of logitech racing pedals for rudder control and it works ok.

Dennis Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hi MC I have 2 x 7 port hubs on my rig both have their own power supply connected are 10 goflight modules and rudder peddles and a flight yoke and don't have any problem see attached pic http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i86/Aussie28/100_1572.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maurice_King Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 ALWAYS use Powered Hub for USB Devices like Flight Controls as this removes a BIG current Load for the USB Port as they are NOT really designed to supply large devices, even though they can.

peterhayes Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Martinc One other setting you need to check is that in your OS Under \device manager\usb etc\Properties\power management you do NOT have "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" ticked. If ticked you can get all sorts of issues. Regards PeterH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
