  1. Hello all I know this is a very late response to this forum and posts, 8+ months. But I've recently updated to W10 1511 (OS Build 10586.36), and my Cougar MFD's started flashing again after I resolved this in the initial W10 upgrade. So it shows that MS have still not resolved the bugs. And I think the upgrade does something to the Thrustmaster drivers. My fix, go into your Device Manager, and then down to the Universal Serial Bus controllers. Right click ALL of the USB hubs, click "Properties" and go to the power management tab and uncheck all tick boxes. If not sure just follow above and right click all USB options and select "Properties". The ones you see with a "Power Management" tab are the ones you can untick all options. Then follow the link above and install the updated TM driver. This method works, and has been stable for a few days since I applied the MS update, along with the above newer TM updated driver, with any and all types of passive USB devices. This has been applied to my two gaming PC's with the same mix of Saitek (Combat Pro pedals) the TM HOTAS Warthog, VRInsight Headtracker and MicroPro Pit along with the two F-16 MFD's. And I've been shutting down my PC's every night with no switch on issues anymore. I change ALL of my USB ports so that whatever I plug in, in any available port is not bothered with this MS issue. So currently this is a fix for me. Hope this helps you all in fixing this irritation Cheers
  2. Thanks Roadrunner, I've eventually found the three choices of the SIM degree of difficulty (Game, real and free camera) at the top left of the settings, as to where to set the axes of all of my devices. So all good, and enjoying the two aircraft, Su-25 and TF-51D. I'm looking very seriously at the MiG-21, read the whole write-up of many of the features of DCS and the MiG, in the last three or four issues of PC Pilot. Very impressive. Cheers
  3. Hello Forum I've just installed DCS World, and new to it, although I have been involved in SIMS, since the early 90's. I have also just signed up to the forum as well, and want to take the opportunity to ask a question about rudder pedals and toe brakes. I searched around to make sure that the question and answer have not been asked before, found this post and reading Mordar's reply is disconcerting. I have the Saitek brand for my pedals, throttles, sticks and yokes, and have the Pro combat pedals. I have the rudder axes set but cannot find how to set the left and right toe brakes, after going carefully through all of the axes and other controller settings. And the default setting makes the left toe control the elevators, and the right toe control the ailerons. If I have missed a post covering this then my apologies, and ask that you steer me to it/them. If not, then any help here would be appreciated from the old hats at DCS. Regards Andrew Brown
