No it's a fault in the game everything is set to priority 1. It's like it's losing the command at the controller. And once logged back in it works again. It's always happened since I got the game and also on multiple controllers?

Disable the L3 button to change to alternate flight ccntrolls. If You are using the default controller set up instead of Hotas...
Is all I can recommend...
It your using hotas with the Rotate stick default. Remove any USB hub and connect direct to console with no hub or USB extension cable to test with first.. Then connect to HUB with USB Keyboard after testing.
(yes youll have to put in system names manualy on hotas while testing which completely sucks on galaxy map..)

No just using a ps5 controller. On default settings. PlayStation version of elite buggy as hell at times think that's the main reason they are stopping doing console I will be transferring to pc once its allowed thanks

That could still be a problem. You use more power with deployed hardpoints so if the usage goes too high and everything is set to P1 then you lose power until those hardpoints are stowed.

Now I don't know if that's the cause of your problem, but you can check for us real quick. Just switch a couple of your modules to another priority and see if the same thing happens when you deploy your hardpoints.

Obviously I'm not. When this happens you can still see the thrusters working I'm in my anaconda but I get no side ways yaw even though you can see the thrusters working. I reload game and it all works again

Ok, so 99% power usage- definitely not an issue there. The only way that would happen is if you tapped the left (?) stick button (L3) to engage alternate flight mode. This will give you lateral thrust instead of yaw, which doesn't do anything in supercruise. If that is what happens you can test this by unmapping the alternate flight mode button and seeing if it still happens. (This is what @GraphiteGB was talking about earlier). Either that or drop out of supercruise and see if left and right increases your speed whilst not changing your might be best doing it near or inside a station so you have a frame of reference.

Personally, I've remapped my controller years ago so L3 does left lateral thrust and R3 does right lateral thrust. No need for an alternative flight mode then as you have all flight direction controller on a single flight mode. Alternatively, if you're happy with the controller set up, press L3 again to get yaw back on the right stick.

If none of that works however and pressing L3 does nothing or you've already decided to get rid of alternative flight mode, then yes you have some sort of bug. Thinking back though, accidentally switching flight modes was a regular thing until I remapped my controller bindings and I'd be going sideways whilst trying to land when I didn't want to.
