CH Yoke Stopped Working

[MickeyMouse]

I really like the idea of FsPassengers, so I downloaded the demo, installed it, got into FS2004 and set everything up to find out that my
CH Flight Yoke no longer works. If I get out of FS2004, the Control Panel shows the Yoke working and all the buttons responding, just not
while I'm in FS2004. I had just been in FS2004 and the Yoke was working fine, the only thing I've installed is FsPassengers demo.

Any ideas?

I have problems with my FS yoke sometimes, but it is not because of fs passengers..

just pull the usb, and plug in back in..

it is an usb problem.

Mabey the joystick isn't enabled in the settings box try that... please give me feedback

Usty: I unpluged and pluged back in. I even rebooted, still no go.

Muffin: It turns out that the Joystick was disabled, which never happens, but here is what transpired from the best I could tell.

When we play Battlefield, the Yoke causes some problems when flying Choppers, so I disconnect it. I always make sure it's connected before starting FS2004, but this time since I installed FsPassenger, I just wanted to see what the options were. I guess because the Yoke wasn't conencted, FS disabled the Joystick. It should have enabled it the next time it started with the Yoke plugged in, but it didn't.

Once enabled, it's working fine. Anyway, it's fixed.

Thanks for the help both of you.

Hey disney boy, get a microsoft sidewinder

[MickeyMouse]

[smile] I have a nice Sidewinder, but I like my Yoke better. You fly with simular controls as a plane, not a stick and I've had zero problems
with my Yoke now for over a year.

Thanks anyway.
