Controls being randomly disconnected

[9./JG27DefaultFace]

I've had this for a while now.... for some reason at seemingly random times on longer flights IL-2 will just decide that I am not allowed to interact with the game anymore stops recognising inputs of any kind. The controls stay still where they are, the plane keeps flying and the game continues to run, but the camera starts slowly moving by itself towards some random location maybe towards the back of the cockpit and the keyboard isnt recognised either. The only way to end it is to alt f-4, and even then Steam still thinks the game is running, until i force steam to shutdown.

 

Happens in all game modes, seemingly without cause or warning. I played like 2 hours of Quick missions without problems this morning, then when I flew one campaign mission this evening it locked up (bye bye Ironman campaign).

 

I play with a sidewinder FFB and Rift CV1. Is it possible that BOS doesnt like this combo? I know that FFB is very buggy on the whole and doesnt play well with trackir, or sometimes there is no or double FFB effects and the game likes to crash when playing with FFB settings.......
