My first simulator was on the Sinclair ZX-81 ... quite possibly the reason ! bought the machine!

The machine is long gone, as is the tape, but I do still have the cassette liner

I was introduced to MS Flight Simulator 1 when on a training course for PC's with "a major manufacturer" ... I came away from that with a bootleg copy on 5 1/4" floppy which I used at work during the lunch hour ... it was still a few years before I had a PC of my own at home!

My very first flight sim was Fighter Pilot on an Amstrad CPC464..   it wasn’t up to much tho

 

Fast forward a few years and  someone introduced me to FS4. Wow! I was blown away and had no idea such a thing existed. I was given it on a floppy disc and I was happy.  First version I actually bought was 5.1 and I’ve had every version since, inc combat.

Plus loads more.. including many X-Plane versions….   and Flight Unlimited 1, 2 & 3

Maybe they're using Windows 11? As long as the yoke and quadrant work as they should, I wouldn't worry about what the system labels them.

Hi all,

 

This is my first post with my new log in as I am unable to get my previous log in updated, have tried

sending emails and messages, but no joy, hay ho !!

 

The problem I am having is that despite my best efforts, I can't get Windows 10 to recognise my new

"Velocity One Yoke and Quad" for what they are, when I go into device manager it has them both

listed as "Xbox 360 Controller" so when I go into MSFS to set them both up, they are listed as Xbox

Controllers. Whilst I know this has no effect on how they work and I have them both set with many

different profiles for the various types of AC, it is just one those niggles that I found really annoying.

 

I have both MSFS Steam and MSFS Store installed on separate drives along with FSX-SE on another

drive, and it is the same on all of these sims, so I am assuming this a Windows issue. The other odd

thing is that my old CH Rudder Pedals have loaded and show up correctly as "CH Rudder Pedals".

 

As none of these controllers seem to load any drivers, I just don't know whether there is any way to

change this, as when I go online to look at the set up videos, they show up as "Velocity One Controller"

on the posters set up, so am I doing something wrong!

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks
