I know this is an ancient problem but I haven't found any fixes that have worked while googling this problem so I thought I'd post here and see if anybody has ever found a fix.

I have windows 8.1 and my joystick disconnects during mid flight a lot. Sometimes I'm able to get it to reconnect and sometimes I'm not. On shorter flights I'll periodically press buttons on my joystick and that usually works. On longer flights that doesn't work though.

If anybody has had this problem and found a fix let me know!

Thanks in advance!

Aidan,
You have to go into your device manager and go to game controllers or something like that and you have to uncheck the box that says, disable usb to conserve power or something like that. It did it to me.
You also will have to uncheck it in the control panel as well under power options.

I have been experiencing this issue, what i have found is it usually only happens once i connect to ACARS. the fix which seems to be working for me so far is 1. unchecking the usb conserve power options in device manager, 2. set FSX to run in XP SP 3 compatibility mode, 3. run fsx as admin 4. run ACARS as admin hope this helps you
