Resolving USB Problems...

[sagrada737]

Hi Guys,

As it goes...   You fix one thing on the Sim, and something else goes wrong.  Such is the life building our Sims.

I wanted to share a recent experience in resolving a USB issue with my Sim on the FSX computer.   Although things worked fine for months, I recently began seeing problems with one of my USB Hubs connected to my FSX computer, that controlled the Radios and other Pedestal gear, including my TQ.  I had nine (9) devices plugged into a 10-port Hub, with a few other USB devices connected using the same USB Chip Set.   It had been working, and then slowly, started to show erratic behavior.  Long story short...   I installed a PCI Express USB card giving me two additional USB ports.   However, the main benefit was having an addition USB Chip Set.   I then moved the TQ USB device to the new USB card.  The result was that ALL the Pedestal USB devices starting working again.

Apparently, I was operating on the edge by having too many USB devices on a single USB Chip Set.  If you are having USB problems, you might consider adding a USB card to your computer in order to achieve a better balance in spreading the USB load across your Sim computer.
