TrackIR: disconnecting issue

[Oliver]

All,

Since a while I have a D/C issue with TrackIR. In DCS, when my TIR is still for a while either because I hold down the pause button or because my headset is on the desk (pouring a drink, bio break, etc.) I get a TIR D/C message in DCS. In most of the cases this resolves itself and after a split second I get the reconnect message. Occasionally though it doesn't. Only solution then is to crawl behind the PC, D/C the camera and reconnect it.

What to do?

I've searched for it and most topics instantly go in the direction of USB power management were people voice a ton of frustration and nobody has a definitive solution. My TIR camera is connected to an onboard USB port in the I/O panel of the motherboard, not one of those internal hubs or external hubs.
