Some two years ago (I guess) the bodnar board I use suddenly lost one axis, when I found out the brakes (on my rudder pedals, right one only) stopped working.
As it appeared, the bodnar board had simply lost one of its axis, as it (Y rotation) was gone from the Game Controllers screens.
I even removed the wiring to the board, and still it was not there.
Today I was re-calibrating all the axis on the board (throttle, prop pitch, 3x trim, flaps, rudder) and ... there it was again! The Y Rotation, and it works!
Wierd.
Never seen HW fix itself after being broken...
Oh well...
