I also contacted WinWing about this problem and, after some back and forth, received the following reply: 'Dear customer, after several tests, our tech team said this is not caused by our devices. This website will capture the device's signal, and is not limited to our devices. Please try disconnecting the PTO2 while on this site.' That more or less resolves the issue, at least for now.

I'm not a big Microsoft fan either. I just noticed it by chance. But it's good to know I'm not alone. Greetings, Markus

I also think it's more likely a problem specific to this Microsoft page (https://login.live.com/). I haven't encountered this issue anywhere else. This particular Microsoft page seems to be polling joystick inputs. Moving my joystick's axes on this page has the same effect as pressing the arrow keys; i.e., moving the joystick forward results in pressing the up arrow key. Moving my Virpil Collective's axis cycles through the individual active or interactive elements on the Microsoft page, from top to bottom or left to right. I have two computers (both with AM4 sockets) and experience the same problem on both, even though different USB devices are connected, but both have a WinWing Throttle and a WinWing Base. P.S.: The problem also occurs with different browsers (tested with Chrome, Firefox, and Edge).

Thanks for the advice. I've already tried them all, unfortunately without success. It's strange that this phenomenon only occurs on the Microsoft website (https://login.live.com/), as if the site is polling joystick movements. I've also opened a ticket at WinWing about this. Let's see if they can find anything out. Regards, Markus

In addition to my Thrustmaster pedals and Virpil collective, I have a WinWing throttle, a WinWing joystick, and the WinWing PTO2 connected to my PC. I've now noticed that I can no longer log into my Microsoft account (login.live.com) because the cursor immediately starts jumping from one input field to the next. It feels like someone is rapidly pressing the arrow key (or Tab key) repeatedly. Even if I move the PROBE Emerg Extd switch on the PTO2 panel to the down position, the cursor on the login.live.com page quickly moves 'right' through all the input fields, and if I move the switch to the middle position, the cursor quickly moves 'left' until it almost stops pulsating when I press 'back'. This phenomenon has only occurred on the Microsoft login page (login.live.com) and across multiple browsers, and only when WinWing devices are connected. It almost feels as if the Microsoft login page is polling the joystick movements. Perhaps someone has a solution so I don't have to unplug all my WinWing devices every time I want to log in to Microsoft. I have two PCs, and the same phenomenon occurs on both. Thank you and best regards, Markus P.S. A user describes a similar problem on Reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/antivirus/comments/1grw3ix/loginlivecom_cursor_moves_away_from_field_instant/

Hi, I have bases from Thrustmaster, VKB, Virpil and WinWing. I've tried them all, except for the GunFighter IV from VKB, although I own that too. My recommendation is very clear: if you use an extension, then definitely a base with a damper. If you only use the stick (without extension), then you can discuss it. The AVA base 'wobbles' like a cow's tail, especially with an extension, and you have to like that. Personally, I don't like it. Greetings

Hi, MSI expresses itself a little more precisely than ASUS, here in the case of a MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI: .... 4x DDR5 UDIMM, maximum memory capacity 256GB Memory support DDR5 8400 - 5600 (OC) MT/s / 5600 - 4800 (JEDEC) MT/s Ryzen™ 9000 series processors max. overclocking frequency: - 1DPC 1R Maximum speed up to 8400+ MT/s - 1DPC 2R Maximum speed up to 6400+ MT/s - 2DPC 1R Maximum speed up to 6400+ MT/s - 2DPC 2R Maximum speed up to 4800+ MT/s ... This means that with 2 DIMMS per channel (2DPC), which corresponds to four modules, the maximum speed drops significantly (4800MT/s instead of 6400 MT/s). Put simply, this means that you lose approx. 25% memory-speed. Greetings

@TimberWolfThis is what AMD says on its website about the cooling of the 9800x3d: Liquid cooler recommended for optimal performance

But the i7-1400K (like any other processor) reduces its boost (sometimes significantly) when it gets too hot. Therefore important! Good cooling. This means at least a 280 or 360 water cooling system or an alternative CPU cooler with a TDP classification of at least 250W.

Hi, it doesn't really matter as long as the radiator provides the required cooling capacity. For an AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3d, I would recommend a CPU cooler with a TDP classification of at least 250W. Here, as almost everywhere, more is better. With an air cooler, however, it is essential to ensure that the warm air is removed from the housing and that enough cool air is supplied. Otherwise the fan will start to draw in warm air (which also reduces the efficiency of the cooler) which will then continue to heat up, theoretically until the temperature in the PC case is the same as on the surface of the CPU. This means that the cooling capacity is virtually ZERO. Conclusion: Air cooling only if the warm air is ‘pulled’ out of the housing and sufficient cool air is ‘pushed’ in. Greetings

If gaming is the most important application: AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3d, 96GB DDR5 6000 with low (really low) latency and max. 2 (in words: two) memory modules and a really fast 4TB SSD (ideally PCIe5.0) for DCS and an additional fast 1TB SSD for the operating system

Hello, if you are using an AMD CPU, use a maximum of two RAM modules. MSI specifies this as follows, for example (MPG X870E CARBON WIFI): 1DPC 1R Max speed up to 8400+ MT/s 1DPC 2R Max speed up to 6400+ MT/s 2DPC 1R Max speed up to 6400+ MT/s 2DPC 2R Max speed up to 4800+ MT/s (1DPC) means one DIMM slot per memory channel Greetings Markus

Hi, perhaps these are the standard axis to button assignments. Greetings

Die meisten aktuellen Gaming CPUs unterstützen max. zwei Speicherkanäle. Die Gaming Mainboards haben zwar fast alle vier Speicherbänke, dennoch gilt vor allem bei der Anzahl der RAM Bausteine: weniger ist mehr! Mehr RAM Bausteine als nötig führen nur zu höheren Latenzen. Die bei einem RAM angegebenen Werte für XMP bzw. EXPO gelten für einen RAM Baustein bzw. für ein RAM Paar. Wenn ich dennoch vier RAM Bausteine einstecke, lassen sich die Werte des XMP- bzw. EXPO Profils keinesfalls stabil erreichen (es sei denn, für das RAM Quartett sind explizit Werte angegeben). D.h. 64GB RAM idealerweise mit 2x32 GB bestücken, bzw. 96GB RAM mit 2x48 GB. Ich wiederhole: vier RAM Module bringen nur Nachteile. Sowohl hinsichtlich Stabilität als auch in der Geschwindigkeit, und das nicht unerheblich. Grüße

Hi, I once had a similar issue. If I remember correctly, the cause was (in short) that I used a modifier in the keybinds. After I removed the modifier, everything worked again. Regards
