cianpars thanks for the info I prefer to buy a new compatible joystick / yoke as I don’t want to tempt any conflict which could terminally crash the game (my last uninstall / reinstall took 26 hours ! ) Can’t get a new joystick / yoke for anywhere for a reasonable price Thanks. silhill ron

Stehle thanks for reply uninstalled and reinstalled the other day (26hours ouch!) the sim launched ok and I only had the chance (late night) to tweak settings to avoid possible crashes, hope everything springs into life next time I try it plainsman thanks for reply, I don’t have any addons, I have a ten year old Logitech attack 3 joystick which shows in the sim but I am unable to allocate functions for it I am trying to get a 64 bit driver for it as I read somewhere that’s what I need for compatibility but can’t find I prefer to buy a new joystick like a thrustmaster to avoid any conflicts but can’t get joysticks / yokes for love nor money silhill ron

tiger1962 and amberdog1 thanks for your replies, windows 10 recognised my joystick and also appeared in the msfs sim but I was unable to allocate functions to the joystick which made me think I needed the driver for compatibility my first point of call was the Logitech website for a driver but I had read somewhere that a 64 bit driver was essential and not the 32 bit, I can only find a 32 bit thanks silhill ron

ben252 thanks for showing an interest in my issue with my basic computing skills I have followed the path to my community folder and can find nothing in it I took the plunge last night and uninstalled the flight sim , searched to ensure all flight sim files were uninstalled and started the reinstall I have a new computer built in excess of minimum requirements the sim specifies, and my first task before playing the sim will be to tweak the general settings to hopefully avoid crash to desktop scenario thanks. silhill ron

with the shortage of new joystick availability I am trying to use my Logitech attack 3 joystick that I used for my flight sim fsx I understand I need a Logitech 64 bit driver to enable compatibility with fs2020 which I cannot find despite an intense search , can anybody point me in the right direction a link would be even better thanks silhill ron

arosenberg thanks for d/l info and clarification.

thanks sfojimbo and g7rta for your replies I was thinking in investing a faster internet connection but as Microsoft store are throttling things at their end have decided against that, I also feel better about my 22hour download it puts it into a bit more perspective I will try also the repair option before I download the latest updates from Microsoft much appreciate the help silhill ron

your comments would be appreciated with my fs2020 not launching excuse my lack of understanding of technical terms but my computer knowledge is basic the last time I was able to launch the sim I attempted to load a scenario I had saved and the sim crashed to desktop, when I tried to launch the sim following the “checking for update screen” I just got a thin very slow moving blue line across the screen which stopped after about 80% I read forum comments and Zendesk support suggesting I delete contents in my Community Packages but find nothing in it and understand this folder is for downloaded liveries etc which I don’t have the only additional things I have downloaded are about six aircraft from the content manager which is part of the premier deluxe pack that I purchased I don’t want to uninstall the sim and reinstall as with my Internet speed a 121gb download takes 22hours! can I ask if I download the latest patch the USA improvement is it likely to solve my problem, I understand it is a 9gb download which would take me 4 hours to download I have a new computer built to run the sim and is in excess of the minimum requirements with windows 10 64 bit, with all the latest windows updates, and always run the sim as administrator if I have to uninstall and reinstall so be it but I don’t have the confidence in the sim that it will crash again and just waste my time welcome any help in getting me back in the air. thanks
