Once you get things working DO NOT CHANGE A THING! When I did the initial install my yoke, throttles, rudder pedals, gaming chair WITH volume, and vibration chair were all working automatically. My first flight just minutes after a 4 hour download. I was getting 60fps on Maximum settings with zero issues. The reason I still have zero issues is I DON'T tinker with stuff. Do you think I'm changing any key assignments??? Nope. Waiting for the VR version so won't need any key assignments. Do you think I am switching out my yoke for my thruster? Nope. Will fly GA planes with Yokes probably forever. I may fly the odd jet but not going to risk switching my controls...will just yoke fly the airbus. Do you think I am messing with scaling, antialiasing, texture resolutions etc? Nope. Those (fsx) days are over. Do you think I am messing with my monitor settings? Nope. Do you think I am messing with my video card settings? Nope.
When I start up my (dedicated) simming computer there is a procedure I follow every time, in a certain order. Tower, Windows, Gaming chair, Precision software, Steam, MSFS 2020/aerofly fs2. I do the reverse when shutting down. EVERY TIME.
