My friendis using P3Dv2.5 with a Saitek elevator trim wheel set up in FSUIPC. Quiteoften when he moves his trim wheel, his mouse will freeze and he is unable todo anything except a hard reboot. Using TeamSpeak at the same time his puss totalk button is stuck, but he can be heard. Do anyone has an idea, what’s goingon?

If you leaves the trim wheel plugged in all the time I'v found that its best to give the wheel a spin before starting FSX/P3D, you should hear the windows hardware detected bing bong sound.

If you don't do this it can cause FSX/P3D to freeze when you first use it in-sim.

I'v had my trim wheel for a long time and found this can happen on all versions of FSX and P3D not just 2.5 so tell him to give it a spin first, both ways if necessary until he hears the sound then start P3D and it should work OK.
