I haven't flown in several years, and thought instead of rebuilding my FSX, I would just wait for 2020.
Pre-oredered and installed overnight. I too have a Sidewinder Precision 2, and was surprised to see there wasn't even a profile for it in 2020. I have spent much of today trying to program it, and can tell you I am not a happy camper!
Hi All,
I am so releived that you are seeing this issue, i installed the final parts of MS FS 2020 after midnight tuesday morning, I also have MS sidewinder precision 2 and when you go to the controls area it sees it and knows its there and populates the controls for a brief second and then vanishes, also a question mark appears on the graphic on the right.
frustratingly you cannot find new drivers for it, i managed to find windows XP drivers and installed using that win XP SP3 version, windows 10 now sees all the controls and buttons and the throttle, but even after reboot etc, MS FS 2020 can still not see it, I will keep trying a bit more but im very close to buying a "
Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas X (PS3/ PC)" would you guys recommend this joystick? it looks like a good make and good reviews on "youtube".
if i do manage to get it working i will let you all know, but as MS does not provide any info on thier older joystick anywhere, it does look like they dont want to support it.
