Hardware Controllers: Joysticks/Yokes | Throttle Quads | Rudder Pedals | Drivers etc

My PC is working great but one major problem. I connect my Steelseries Keyboard/ head set and mouse. All fine , but when I try and add more USB, as I need to add TW Wathhog stick and throttle and TPR and trackIR. It all goes wrong. I can just get away with adding one. But if I add anymore MSFS when I try to start a flight from the runway will load to the hold short but the second I press "fly" CTD normally followed by a "Not Enough USB Controller Resources" The minute I go back to no or just one( joystic) all is fine. I just don't know what to do. I've gone into power management and set that to performance also never turn down USB's and NCP is also set…

Hi Avsim Community, I have spent 2 weeks trying to troubleshoot and research this. I may conclude the product is good for the trash, but writing this for a last hope. Recently got the Saitek Pro flight Yoke (working) (USB+ AC plugged) The USB Saitek Quadrant (working) And the Old Saitek Quadrant with what seems to be a PS2 input that I connect directly to the yoke ( NOT working) However, the little green light DOES light up. Sim: P3D 4.5 What I have done so far: - I have tried the Logitech drivers; Not detected - Downloaded "Spad"(2012) "No panel found" error - FSUIPC; Nothing happens - P3D key settings…

It seems the Saitek Cessna style throttle has been discontinued. The only alternatives I can find seem to cost £500 and above. Does anyone know of a more comfortably priced alternative?

Posting this to comment on a cool little app I have on my Galaxy Tab E. FsRadio Panel app for Android will run on any Android Tab or phone. Looks better on a tablet. Has a full radio panel window. An analogue HSI, a glass style HSI, a switch panel, auto pilot, moving map with traffic, and a basic FMC that can program full flight plans using the FS GPS engine and follows with heading hold on the auto pilot. It is slanted heavily towards GA aircraft but I use it with twins also and the freeware Falcon 50. Requires a wifi connect file on your PC downloaded from Tambucho, a Spanish app publisher. 11.95 USD. Has everything the Saitek hardware provides and more for way less mon…

I got my MFG Crosswind V2 a few day ago and noticed something different. On the front cross arm I had an extra 8mm threaded hole about 16mm on the left. On the rear cross arm I had an extra 8mm threaded hole about 16mm on the right. Conclusion: Damper I ordered one today to prove my theory. Milan emailed me back that I was correct and will providing kits soon. He is so busy making the pedals so it could take a while. I ordered a damper from here to see what the difference might be. You will need to provide a 8mm I.D. x 10mm -13mm thick spacer and two 8mm bolts to complete the install. https://www.ebay.com/itm/132869071335 I will k…

Honeycomb yoke arrived. Followed directions to connect ethernet and USB. Nothing no lights no connectivity and not showing in Windows. Not showing in MSFS either. What in the world? Has anyone else had any issues or any idea why its not working? Call tech support no answer. Email them and get response within a few hours wanting a video of nothing working?!: Hello, Thank you for contacting Honeycomb Aeronautical. We really apologize for this current issue. Would you mind sending us a quick video demonstrating this technical issue? Thanks, Ryan Customer Support Specialist

VKB says their pedals have only one version, so they are just picked off the shelf and ready to go. Whereas with most of their sticks , the customer customizes it and so they have to assemble, test, and the package it. So, I ordered one set of pedals last night. At $265 (including shipping cost) they are cheap enough, all metal, good reviews on youtube. Let's see how fast it comes to Nevada from China. These days, after MFS release, some controllers are tough to get quickly and tough to find at normal prices. They say, after mailing, most parcels arrive in America in 4 or 5 days. https://vkbcontrollers.com/

MAYBE ...someone here can help. Have the standard Logitech yoke and quadrant. X-plane, works with no issues. Downloaded MS FS 2020 on launch day and ever since then; an MS FS 2020 flight...my Logitech yoke just drops off, connection to my PC lost. I can pause the game for a few seconds only to have it drop off again minutes or even and hour later. Rinse and repeat, frustrating. I've searched online and updated drivers, adjusted Windows USB power settings, and tried everything...still happens daily. I opened an MS case and they told me to wait for the next update, 2 updates later...it still happens. This is very frustrating - am I missing something, is my Yoke just bad som…

Hi all, I have a Saitek Quadrant Throttle (PS/2 connector) Unfortunately the PS/2 connector is missing and I have the 6 cable only in my hand. I'd like to re-solder the 6 wires to a new PS/2 plug, but I havn't any idea about the pin out. I saw the previuos image in which it's clear the connection on the board, but my problem is the cable color -to- PS/2 pinout. Any help? Thank in advance Piergiorgio https://ibb.co/Rb72nrH

For Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 I've been messing around with the settings in MSFS2020 for too many hours now, and can't seem to get any smoothness from my yoke controls in game. Works just fine in Xplane11. I've got a modified Saitek Yoke with a Leo Bodnar BU0836 board. FS2020 recognizes the board, and i've recalibrated the hardware controller in Windows 10 settings. I've gotten the roll and pitch axis configured in game to the board, and made sure the saitek config settings aren't also set to roll/pitch axis (I know that causes a ton of issues in Xplane11), and the sensitivity curves do make a difference, but the in game deadzone is basically 85…

So I'm currently away from my real home and working across the country. Lot of free time I need to pass so FS2020 has been a godsend really. I was getting pretty bored of FSX/X-Plane. I didn't bring much to this apartment, what I did bring was a misc box of switches/knobs and an extra Leo Bodnar board. Threw together this "ugly" real quick in a cardboard box. It's not pretty... at all but boy does it function like a charm and I absolutely LOVE that FS2020 has more binding/control options. Nothing like FSUIPC but much better than what they used to be. I have no tools here, and I'm not about to buy them to make boxes, not until I get back home. I bought a Logite…

Can any Honeycomb yoke users on Windows 10 confirm if their displays will not turn off as requested in your power settings time frame? Also the screensaver will not engage in time. Apparently, the yoke must be unplugged for all that stuff to work again. I'm assuming that it must have something to do with the 9 "always on" toggle switches. If anyone knows of a workaround, other than disabling the entire yoke or unplugging it, please let me know. I was wondering if there is any 3rd party software that could temp disable all the always on switches as a test.

Looking at replacing my Saitek home with a joystick as most of my flying is with with Airbus. Whats the best compatible joystick /throttle combo to do with for Airbus A320 flying on MSFS?

Hi guys, I wasn't sure if this was the proper place for this, but starting it here since it's yoke/controller related and Google is not giving me what I want. With the current controller shortage I'm looking to expand the list of vendors to search beyond Amazon, Newegg, Best Buy, and B&H. I've seen some others show up like "Mypilotstore" and "Pilotshop" but I can't seem to find much about them and if either one or both are worth keeping an eye on. Anyone have input on these or other recommended retailers to watch? If it matters I'm looking for places that would have the new Logitech version of the X56 hotas, or Saitek yokes/etc. or possibly that honeycomb stuff. …

Wasnt sure the best place to post this, but i've got the old school ch pedals. I've tried just about every usb port on the pc. Seems if you resume from standby mode in win10 v2004, often the pedals are offline, not working. If i disconnect and reconnect the cable they come back, though sometimes takes two tries. I've played around with the usb suspend setting power saving and that hasnt helped. Has anyone else ran into this issue and found a work around? Worth noting i guess, that i have an extender usb cable on the main cable, though i'm pretty sure i tried it both ways. (Motherboard is an z370 hero asus and 8700k cpu) Thanks in advance

Can anyone with a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 check for me if the stick has a switching power supply? That is to say, has a power supply which works on 110v and 220v electrical grids. I bought one from auction and only realised afterwards that the stick is from Japan (110v grid) and I live in a country with 220v grid electricity. I've checked the original MSFF2 manual, which makes no mention whatsoever about the AC requirements/limitations and Googling has proven unfruitful too. I haven't received the stick and can't find a photo online which shows the label on the bottom or the original box and can't tell if there is any indication of this on either. …

Would anyone here be able to help me with the FSUIPC program (which I have) the MSFS 2020? I dont know how to set up my Saitek X45 throttle to be able to reverse thrust in the TBM 900. I suspect this is perfect for the FSUIPC app but I am lost on how.

Hi folks. Is anyone here using the Saitek panels (radio, navigation, switches) shown below for FS 2020? Are they compatible? Are there any limitations that come with using them?

I have had this joy stick for sometime and use it in P3Dv5hf2,Xplane 11.50 and now MSFS2020 The Roll function works but does not centre anymore My planes are flyable but not so easily controlled-have to work at it! Is this a joystick fault-it is quite an old stick Or is there something I could try to correct this All other functions of stick are good -pitch,yaw etc xxd09

Does anyone know how the sidekick and throttle block will interconnect, if there is indeed a connection between the two devices ? I am asking because it would be foolish to have one independent usb plug for each device.

Hello all, Have the Yoke but not the Sim yet, just wondering if any of you guys is running this Yoke, and if yes can you post a feedback impressions and comments ?? Cheers Yair

I've been MS Flight Sim flying since the earliest days at Meigs Field. I have a CH Flight Sim Yoke and Pro Pedals I purchased many years ago, at least a decade but probably more. Everything still works and is reasonably smooth and linear. I clean the parts and never have any problems with the yoke, throttle, prop, mixture, or pedals. I am upgrading all my PC hardware in anticipation of August 18 and Flight Sim 2020. I've read a lot about the newer yokes and pedals but wonder how much improvement I will experience by spending $750 or more to upgrade the controls? I fly almost 100% GA, low and slow. I like to hand fly and spend most of my time in mountain…

I can not steer the plane, or fly with the yoke. The plane veers left, even if I steer right. The screen shows that the controls work. How can I fix this?
