    GC3 won’t stay connected FSX Play

    Anyone else having issues with their gc3 not staying connected in FSX play? Mine has been disconnecting for about a month but it it’s getting more frequent now and it’s not connecting back.

    Are you connecting via USB or Wifi? Both have their issues, I've had fewer problems with USB.

    This might be a PC issue also, not the GC3. Windows 10 power management will sometimes shut off USB ports, especially if the computer "goes to sleep".

    I've had good success restarting the PC with the GC3 shut off, then after Windows loads, but before loading any Foresight program, starting the GC3 and getting it "connected" in WIndows, then starting the Foresight program.

    Has not disconnected then when using FSX 2020 or FSX Play. Whereas it has disconnected occasionally if I let the PC sit idle for a day or 2 without disconnecting the GC3.

      I had frequent trouble with wifi and usb connection then I switched to an ethernet cable. No issues with connectivity since.

        I agree with the Ethernet Cable. That seems to have solved most, if not all of my connection issues. I used to have a lot of problems if I tried to switch to FSXPlay to FX2020 or if I tried to load up Fair games. Wifi and USB were very problematic. Ethernet has been perfect.
