In prior versions of FS, your joystick configured automatically. Why the change? I understand FS2020 is a game with a learning curve, but this bit of frustration seems unnecessary. Anyone know of a video that can walk me through the configuration process?

Are there in instructions somewhere on how to do this? I tried to do it, but the process is not intuitive at all.

Thanks so much! Any particular GPU that you recommend?

Looking for general guidance. Downloaded and installed FS2020 Premium today. The game works, but very poorly. Multiple problems: 1) Painfully slow. I am on new-ish Dell computer. Intel i7-9700 CPU @ 3.00GHz; 16 gigs RAM, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 graphics card. According to Microsoft, this is well above minimums specs, and probably at/near recommended specs. I have set all game settings to lower levels. But my frame rates still appear to be about 5 FPS or less in populated locations. If I change airports or change missions, the game take 3 or 4 minute to reload. What did I do wrong? Would more RAM help? Or do I need to shell out for a better graphics card? 2) Joystick control. The game says it recognizes my joystick, but it doesn't work. Granted, it's an old joystick (Cyborg Graphite--2006 vintage) but there must be some way to make it work? It would help if I had an instruction manual . . . Ideas? New joy stick? 3) While I am waiting for an instruction manual to be posted online, can anyone tell me how to toggle the frame rate counter? Used to be Shift + Z, if I recall. Now, like so many functions, it has changed. Guidance, please. Thank you!

Just upgraded to Windows 8.1. Now FSX repeatedly crashes, usually after I click any drop-down menu options. Have tried running it in both Vista and Windows 7 compatibility modes. Here's the error info: Faulting application name: fsx.exe, version: 10.0.61637.0, time stamp: 0x46fadb14 Faulting module name: atiumdag.dll, version: 9.14.10.984, time stamp: 0x522fc960 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x00024c81 Faulting process id: 0xd58 Faulting application start time: 0x01cecdbb18fa9ac8 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\fsx.exe Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\atiumdag.dll Report Id: 97046b5d-39ae-11e3-bea1-d43d7e38f527 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: Any help would be appreciated.
