When my yoke/pedals are connected to the usb ports my PC (win10) will not turn off the windows display let alone go to sleep. My work-around in the past was to simply unplug both the yoke and pedals. Lately (Unsure when this actually started) however, unplugging then plugging them back in creates a real problem in msfs. Each AC is mostly uncontrollable and will constantly bank either to the left or right. The only way to solve this problem is to recalibrate to yoke then all is good until I unplug/plug tn the yoke.
At the moment it appears I have only 2 solutions
Leave the yoke plugged thereby preventing Windows from turning off display
Unplug the yoke and recalibrate each device next time I run MSFS
Neither option is very practical. Anyone have any other ideas or solution I can try?
BTW: The need to recalibrate is only required for MSFS. I have no need to do this with Xplane11
First thought sounds like a Windows problem, possibly involving USB drivers.
First off make sure Windows is fully up-to-date then try updating the drivers for your yoke.
I have the same issue with the Airbus throttle and joystick my work round is press win-x ,press U, then Press S and this will put your computer to sleep with your yoke and peddles still plugged in.
If new drivers don’t solve the issue, it could be a hrdwr issue.
-Pick up a powerd usb hub that has a on/off button. Calibrate and then just use the on off button. It won’t lose the calibration and will enable sleep. I use this method.
I have the same issue with my old Combat Rudder Pedals also, however this started a few years ago.
It’s most likely the old drivers but Saitek(Logitech now) has not updated the drivers and probably won’t for this older hrwr.
Yes, this works very well, however, when I awake the computer (which normally never sleeps) sometimes the mouse or the yoke (or both) do not work until I unplug and plug them back in. Because this PC also has camera monitoring SW running I never let it go to sleep but simply have the display/video turn off
