rean001 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Hey guys, so I bought a new laptop yesterday and immediately installed FSX on steam, but I can't get my old Xbox 360 type controller to work with it. I've tried updating drivers for it and resetting defaults for the controller which shows up on FSX and shows as being connected to my laptop, but it hasn't worked at all. Is there any way to enable the controller to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmhariano Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Have you set axis and button assignments and sensitivities to this controller in FSX? I never liked the default FSX assignments. Best regards, Luis Hernández Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 No. Buy a simple cheap joystick to use with fsx. For example the logitech 3D. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rean001 Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 Are you sure about that? I've used this controller on another laptop with FSX and it worked fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rean001 Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 I've reset them to default but how do you go about setting them? I've also tried connecting it through steam but it hasn't helped at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I've reset them to default but how do you go about setting them? I've also tried connecting it through steam but it hasn't helped at all Does the controller show up in the Windows Device Manager? Are you using a wired or wireless controller?

rean001 Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 I've tried changing settings on steam and identifying the controller and so on but it doesn't work, the controller won't even be identified, it just shows up as unregistered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rean001 Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 It's a wired controller and yep it shows up but it doesn't make a difference in the game except I can move the joystick on the controller within the cockpit and certain views etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rean001 Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 Given the situation as mentioned above, is there any other way to solve this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rean001 Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 I bought a joystick in the meantime as recommended earlier on in the post, which has worked well but I will follow the advice above in order to possibly use the controller again in the future. I'm grateful for everyone who replied, thank you to you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
