Many simmers are reporting problems with the Mad Catz (Saitek) yoke
sending spurious button presses. Some possible fixes are:
a. connect the yoke via a powered usb hub. The theory is that the
yoke is pulling too much power, dropping voltages which is causing the
button presses.
b. after system boot, disconnect and then reconnect the yoke from the
usb. Not sure what this is supposed to do, but some say it works.
c. use the payware version of fsuipc, which Dowson has recently
modded to provide an option to ignore button presses lasting
less than 50 millisecs.
Note that Mad Catz says that they have a firmware fix which is
supposed to cure this, but it isn't clear when the fixed yokes
will be out, except they were shipped to the US first. If the
pilot shop just got it in, then I think you probably are getting
the upgrade version.
