I have a similar problem. Have done all of the above with no joy. Plug stick in, lights flash then Device not recognized. the I have spoken to the supplier and it appears there is a prob with how W8.1 manages USB devices and he said a few guys have had similar probs. If W8 decides it doesn't like a particular device you can do what you like but it can't be got around. He also advised that MS are aware of the problem and that there is a 'Fixit' for it .. I just haven't found it yet. The one I did get from MS (and they email a link for the downlaod) tells me it is not applicable to my PC. Still working on it .. and yes the throttle is fine plugged into my other rig. Why or why did I try W8? ;D Gotta love MS. Tried REGEDIT to remove the appropriate key but same prob. Interstingly I can't access the key properties .. Access Denied. Has anyone seen the fixit tool? I found another from WindowsClub it it too says it is not for my OS.

I have a similar problem. After a few days away with PC shutdown I return and only see the lights on WH Throttle flash briefly and then get Windows message "USB Device Malfunctioned. Invalid Device Descriptor" Went through each of the steps enumerated by Capt Jack but still no joy. PC updated itself to Windows 8.1 a little while back (not happy about that either) but is theer anything else I can do? Cheers, Zap Maybe the throttle is just upset with me for using to fly BMS ;)

Not miniHUD rather the Data Block is what I have lost

With latest update I have lost the miniHUD in lower right of screen in the ground units and for some reason can't get it back. Can't see what gear you're in, relaod status etc. Anyone else?

What hope of a fix that we can apply so all aircraft work again? Zap

Posted on SIMHQ also Hi, I use Morphines TARGET profile to fly BMS with my Warthog. Unfortunately I am just a user as the scripting is beyond me but I would love a profile for the MiG-21. Anyone got the wherewithal to make one? Cheers, Zap

As a result fo now wanting two sim pits I do not have space for the large one. My pit has to go. It is just the assembled cockpit frames. It does not include controllers, monitors, PC etc. So: . Cheers, Zap

OK... it is now looking for updates .. looks like a full downlaod again. Will post here on results. Thanks for such a prompt reply. I hope I am not going to have serial# collision as this is a second serial number I have purchased so my kids can LAN play. Should I have created and purchased through another alias?

Hi EtherealN. Will try that now. SBY. Zap

Hello, To facilitate LAN play I yesterday purchased another licence for A10C. I downloaded the module twice but both the FTP and Bittorrent version (A-10C_1.2.6.18651.276-275.exe) report they cannot be inserted in to the most recent version of DCS and that I need to download the latest version (A-10C_1.2.6.18933) Anyone else? Hmmm..... Zap

Looks like my children will be flying IL2 4.08 then as buying a whole set of Licences for them is too expensive. Thanks for your help Gents. Zap.

Hi Mods, Do I require a seperate purchase to run DCS on 2 seperate machines for LAN play? A read through the EULA makes no mention other than the software is for my personal use. Tks, Zap

It seems to be a problem with Helios.

Hmm, will look into it further. I also have Helios on the 4th screen and the problem exists in there as well. Will investigate further and advise. Thanks for your help mate, Zap

Hi Nate, Did as you suggest but no joy. Same fault. O I checked the directory specified and it has not created a new C\....\A-10C directory. Should it have? Ta, Zap
