**I have a Dell G5 with every bell and whistle imaginable. But when I turn on MSFS, none of the Logitech add ons other than the yoke work. I saw a fleeting warning that there wasn’t enough power. Anyone run into this and have ideas about how to address the power issue?
Thank you**
Are you overclocked?
Other than a bigger power supply for the PC, no.
If these add-ons are connected via USB, I would recommend using an active USB hub with independent power supply.
Thank you for the reply. They all plug into the base of the yoke and the yoke doesn’t have an independent power supply. How can I get around that?
Not shure, I think especially USB 3.0 Hubs can provide a lot of power. You could set it between PC and yoke. You should also google for USB power.
Although there is only one USB plug from the yoke to the computer, you will need to plug that into a powered hub, then the hub into the computer. Also double check the other Logitech peripherals. Some of the displays, etc. have a power jack to allow you to connect a wall wart to power them independent of the computer.
Thank you all for your input. It turns out that the hub I have has two levels. I had plugged everything into a level that has less power. When I moved the plugs to the next level. I stopped receiving the warning.
I would STRONGLY suggest looking into other power options. Although your MB can supply the needed current through a USB 3.0 port you are putting pretty much max through the USB system. It will work. For a while. But you are setting yourself up for port failure. Better to overwork a $20 powered hub than smoke your MB I/O.
I also suggest using a usb hub. It really makes a big difference.
Thank you all for your input. I’ve ordered a proper usb hub and should have it by Saturday. We live in a remarkable world.
