Shh, don't tell my system as I can use a USB hub with CH products G. I
have a Fighter Stick, Pro Throttle,and Pro Rudders all connected to a USB
hub with no problems whatsoever. It sounds like something is broken in
your setup. Have you tried other peripherals in that hub? Did yoiu use
external power on the hub or just power from the computer USB port? If
computer power try plugging in the external power supply as the current
draw of the devices may be too much for internal power.

You will find that with the CH products, you won't be able to use a USB
hub (well, I can't, anyway, and I saw a similar post so, I'm assuming
I'm not the only one). So, what you'll end up doing is pluggin the CH
yoke and pedals into the USB front ports on your computer (assuming you
have them or will be putting them in shortly) and when you want to fly
the extra, you'll yank the USB connector to the yoke. If I were more
nimble, I would yank the joystick and the gamepad whenever I fly the
cessna because you'll find that you'll set your beer down on the
throttle control on the joystick or, you'll prop your feet up on top of
the gamepad and 'randomly change stuff' in the sim. This makes for
unexpected emergencies (if they were expected, they'd be called "Drill").

Just my 2c.

I would like to have it so you dont have to fly an Extra 300, Pitts or a
glider and any other stick controlled plane with a yoke!
