Lucy.P 168 Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Nothing to do with eggs in the freezer.... When I start up FSX and load a plane all seems OK, but as soon as I have engines running the yoke freezes on me and I cannot get any response. I have checked calibration, basic stuff, and I get that it's connected and works alright, back I go to load a plane and it responds fine, engines start..it freezes. I haven't made any additions to FSX lately and the only things recently added are P3Dv4 and XP11. But as they aren't associated with FSX running it can't be that. Any suggestions short of uninstalling and reinstalling the entire program? cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
needles 1,002 Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Hi Lucy, Have you tried plugging it into a different usb port? This works for me most of the time. I'm also using FSUIPC which I calibrate my yoke with. Hope this helps. Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Brian and thanks for the reply, yes I have. Trying a different port comes straight after the 'turn it off and back on again' option. I have tried XP11 and P3D for prolonged periods and the yoke runs fine. If it wasn't for FSX having my Majestic Dash 8 I probably wouldn't care so much. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
needles 1,002 Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 I don't know where you purchased your Dash 8 Lucy, but I believe it is now P3Dv4 compatible. Take a look here. http://majesticsoftware.com/mjc8q400/news.html If that aircraft is all that you need FSX for, go for the update and you should be good to go with your yoke.

Lucy.P 168 Posted July 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 I will take a look, it seems to freeze on three particular aircraft which is a bit strange. I might end up doing a full reinstall and see how that goes 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lucy.P 168 Posted July 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Took me ages to mess around but I think it's the GSX addon. Initially I assumed it was my computer playing up, but then I had the same problem when I got my new one recently. Random freezing of controls on the ground or in the air. I have left GSX uninstalled this last couple of days and it all seems good. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
