Hi, I have no pedals yet but I do know the problem with the Bravo not being recognised now and then. Restarting the Xbox is not necessary. Unplugging the Honeycomb stuff will do it. The shortest way is to go into the control options before creating a new flight and check whether the bravo is working. If not I switch off the Bravo-port on my powered USB hub, count to 5, switch it on again, count again and recheck in the control options. Just be patient, give it some time before replugging and rechecking.
HTH, regards,
Frank
