Additional info on my Saitek fixes.
Check to make sure in the game force feedback is disabled. That will make your nose impossible to control. Place your TrackIR on its own USB port on your PC. It's a USB-1 device and will downgrade all USB-2 devices on your external powered HUB. I have a TrackIR3 Pro it is a USB-1 device...I don't know if the TrackIR4 is USB-1 or 2. You can download the freeware version of Bus Hound to check your USB device type.

Here is a note I posted to Skuzzy that may have some impact on your USB bus resets. I found a post on the Saitek BBS talking about this, so I did the same with good results to my game play and posted to Skuzzy on our BBS.

Skuzzy,
When the game launches I'm assuming one of the house keeping chores it does is to tell the OS to suspend screen saver mode\power saving mode.
Is there any chance if the USB power management option: "Let the computer turn off this device to save power."
is checked in the power management tab for USB Root HUBs in Device Manager that an occasional errant USB device reset is possible if the flight controler is not touched for the time out period set for the screen saver?
I have Saitek X52 Pro and Pro Peddals.
Thanks, Skuzzy....
