Windows 7 and CH Flightsim Components
I recently upgraded to Windows 7, now the last couple of times I've started FS9, my Flightsim yoke hasn't been recognized. I checked it with the CH Manager and it was not recognized there until I unplugged it and plugged it back in and it was recognized then. Anybody else encountered problems similar to this.
Bazinga!

Re: Windows 7 and CH Flightsim Components
Is it plugged into a USB3 port? I've seen some issues like that with "legacy" devices in USB3 ports....phantomfreak wrote:I recently upgraded to Windows 7, now the last couple of times I've started FS9, my Flightsim yoke hasn't been recognized.

Re: Windows 7 and CH Flightsim Components
There are different types of USB ports, sadly they look the same, but should be labeled or a different colour. Check which ones are USB2 and which are USB3, make sure CH gear is in a USB2 port, rather than a 3 
I use Gigabyte motherboards, which have the USB3 ports identified with a coloured line around them on the back of the PC.
