I ended up downgrading to Windows 10, I plugged the joystick and throttle in, stick s not calibrating in joy. cpl. Put my Avast Premuim on and it tells me that six drivers need to be upgraded, which I do. It then tells me there is 2.9 gigs of junk on my drive including old windows files and registry fragments. I tell it to delete, which it does. Reinstall FSX SE, assign my axis to the throttle and stick, and this time the stick actually appears to pick it up. I then loaded the default Baron in the Air at Friday Harbor, flew, and everything was working correctly! Buggered if I know what I did, but I will take the win. Do a restore point tomorrow morning first, then install P3d 4. I had returned X PLANE 12 for credit, but will buy it again in a few weeks. I've just lost a front filling and that's a bit more important!

I'm having méga problems getting my joystick's pitch axis recognised in any Flight simulator. I'm talking FSX SE, P3D V4 and as of Today X PLANE 12. Even Steam doesn't like it. I have a brand new as of yesterday HOTAS x 56, A Saitek X52 now alas deceased, and a T flight Hotas stick. I'm running a Ryzen 9 and NVIDIA 3090 based Tomcat gaming laptop so I have the processor power, 16 gig of RAM, and Windows 11 Home. I'm running the throttle and sticks through a powered USB as the laptop power supply is OK for what it is. I can't run any game that calls for a, stick with pitch axis. Yet funny enough, my rail driver cab controller runs well, and I have no problems running pretty graphically heavy games like ultimate General Civil War. My own feeling is it's either a software driver issue, possibly because of the recent upgrade to Windows 11, or the USB. In fact I'm not even 100% sure that the usb power supply is the correct one. It's not labelled, but neither was the USB and it fits. I'm replacing it tomorrow. Any thoughts on the matter will be gratefully received!
