It's been a long time since I've been on the forums here. And a long time since I've spent any time on my flight sims. But I've recently taken up the hobby/gaming again and this is how I discovered the issue. I've built a new PC with all new hardware and a clean install of Win 10. With that I installed MS Flight Sim 2020, DCS, and FSX. All was well... or so I thought. Then I plugged in my HOTAS Warthog and tried to go "flying." The throttle was all messed up so I started troubleshooting. What it boils down to is that the throttle and slider are reversed. Full throttle reports 0 and Idle reports 65538. I've used the Windows Joystick (Game Controller) Calibration Tool and verified this. I then tried the HOTAS on two other Windows 10 machines; a Lenovo Yoga laptop and a Microsoft Surface Pro. All these have the latest Windows 10 updates and the throttle is reversed on all three machines. For further troubleshooting I then plugged the HOTAS Warthog into my "Retro" Windows XP machine and the calibration is perfect on this PC. I normally use the T.16000M FCS HOTAS on this Windows XP PC saving the Warthog for the best PC I have. But its useless like this. I reached out to Thrustmaster Technical Support and got just a canned response telling me to calibrate them. I've used the HOTAS Warthog on Windows 10 before without any issues so I'm suspecting this is a conflict created from some update. I've searched for hours online for a resolution. I'm not having any luck. I'm not an engineer but I am technically savvy enough to know how to do basic troubleshooting and I'm confident that the issue is with Windows 10. But I don't seem to see others experiencing this from what I can find in my research. So I'm reaching out to the experts. Any suggestions? Any ideas for reversing the root cause? I thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

When I did the last update it stopped about halfway through. After I restarted the sim, it finished the update. Today, it stopped after 19 meg. It kept trying to download the same file and failing. So I had to restart the sim again.

I recently installed an American Airlines 757-200, and found that the nose wheel will suddenly turn to the right after the plane begins moving (in the single-digit knots). I am still capable of steering the wheel, but it makes attempting to takeoff nearly impossible. Is there a way to fix this issue, or should I just look for another plane? :confused: (Here's the problem aircraft in question: https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?searchid=82883697)

I am a retired Systems Integration Manager from Ford Motor Company, and a pretty strong Windows 10 user. I guess you could call me a superuser. And I have a private pilot's license (Single Engine Land). With that said, I had a custom computer specifically built to the nines about 2 weeks ago for MSFS 2020 which appears to be running perfectly, except when I tried to purchase and install MSFS 2020. The first installation of MSFS 2020 Premium Deluxe on Nov 9th went well, except I could not make content purchases from MSFS 2020 Marketplace. So after talking to MSFS 2020 support (ZenDesk), then Xbox support, and finally a Level 2 tech on the Windows Tech Team, he told me my Microsoft Store app was corrupted, and reinstalled Windows 10 for me, updated it, and crawled through my computer using Quick Assist where he had access to my desktop remotely to make sure all settings were correct for MSFS 2020. And things got worse. Now Microsoft Store tells me that the Premium Deluxe version of MSFS 2020 can't be installed on my computer, and only the Standard Version can be installed. So I tried that. Twice (uninstalling, and then reinstalling MSFS 2020 with the same results both times). My account inside MSFS 2020 tells me that I'm on the current version 1.10.11.0 but I have only 12 planes available to fly. And the plane set is a partial set of all three MSFS 2020 versions (Standard, Deluxe, and Premium Deluxe). For instance, I have the 787 Dreamliner, but not the Airbus 320, etc. And I cannot download the rest of the content from Content Manager, as it tells me I need a more recent version of the game to do so, even though my account shows I have the most recent version installed. It is now a spaghetti installation of parts of all three versions of MSFS 2020. And from what I can tell, it is because of their VERY aggressive Digital Content Management system in Microsoft Store. Microsoft is so afraid of the software being pirated, they are not giving it to their paying customers either! I am now waiting for a support call from Xbox support that will never come. I've been waiting for 4 days now, relaunching the request for a callback each morning. But apparently nobody is home at Xbox. I am getting ready to request a full refund, and plan on coming back in 2 or 3 years to try again, as right now the launch of MSFS 2020 is a disaster. If I had launched a product like this at Ford, they would have fired me. Cheers! :pilot:

I have a cheap logitech gamepad that I like. I have the steam version. When I set the aileron control to the x axis, is gives a notice in red letters advising not to assign it to this axis. But I only have two axis, so I have to use it. It shows it's working good in control setup, but when I fly I have no aileron control. I saw a YouTube video saying it might be a steam problem, and I messed with steam settings, but it didn't help. Anybody have any ideas? It's kind of hard to turn without ailerons.

Learning to fly Maryadi's Osprey V.2. Continue to get low fuel warnings in "selected tank"; but, all tanks appear full. Any thoughts? Is there a tank selector that needs to be reset?

Here are some screenshots/examples to my issue https://imgur.com/a/67ooMUH

Hello fellow X-Plane simmers, i have a big problem with my XP11 shaders and XVISION. I can't use XVISION anymore because one of my other Addons modified an original shader file, and now Xvision moans that there is a non-original shader-file and stops working :-( ... I've tried everything from running updater, scanning for broken files and so on - with no success. Could someone please send me the original, unmodified XP 11.30 shader file "terrain.xsa" located in: XXX:\X-Plane 11\Resources\shaders\bin\glsl150\ Maybe someone could share a dropbox / Google drive link with the download? That would be very very kind and i'd be very thankful! Thank you very much! Grretings, Powervoice
