Yesterday I was flying along just fine, everything was green across the board. Then *p00f* power outage *sigh*.......2 mins later the power is back on and I boot up to reclaim the skies. Lets see....Hangar, Aircraft, Runway, I start rolling and cycle my views as I do everytime I start to roll. I notice the views cycle extremely sloooowwww. To see exactly how long, I hit a view counted to 3 and then it went to the view, release 1-mississippi 2-mississippi 3-mississippi, back to home-view. Strange, I think I read about this in a forum the other day(i think to myself). I realize the power outage could done some wacky shyte so I shutdown to do a cold boot. Reload AH start to roll all seems good, fly fer about 4 mins then my AC goes into a dive, I gently try to pull up but nothing I try to roll nothing then all the sudden I'm nose-up, then rolling wildly (not moving the stick anymore) All inputs are severely lagged.....not good. End up as a lawndart, leave AH and fer the hell of i go into game controllers to check it there. Inputs lag there aswell.....not AH (i think to myself), select the CH rudder and give it a whirl, no lag. Stick is hosed my first instinct says reload the drivers. I leave the game controllers window open for future checking. I reinstall the drivers for my stick, then go back to the GC window and no lag now. Launch AH and all is well.
