Can anyone please help me solve this.
It is a very random problem, but is extremely frustrating when it happens during a long race
I have 3 USB Race Sim 'controller' - a G27 wheel & pedals; a Pro-Race LED Wheelplate Display; and a home made button box built on a Symprojects JC32 controller. All 3 are connected by USB to a powered USB hub.
Everything is generally fine, except for a very occasional freeze of one or more of these items. It might be quite rare, but it is getting very frustrating as it can strike at any time. For example, I'm just going through Paddock Hill bend when the steering freezes and the throttle sticks open, I have no control and I hit the tyres at full speed. Or it might be the ProRace display that freezes - the rev lights suddenly are all lit, the a times are frozen on the display, and the buttons do not work. If I'm lucky I can pause the game and unplug the usb cable, reconnect it and it starts working again. But usually it is the steering or throttle and my race is over.
I suspect, but cannot be 100% sure, that it is a conflict or momentary lack of power in the usb port(s).
Has anyone else suffered with this, and did you find a definite cure?
(I have Windows 7 64bit, 8GB ram, 2 x HD5750 1GB cards, 750 Watt power supply, 3ghz AMD quad CPU, FoxconnA79AS PCIE motherboard, USB 2.0 sockets).
Any help with this would be appreciated,
Keith
