Brief description of the issue:
It started just a couple of days ago; it is the first time I remember it happens.
Throttles suddendly stopped responding to my X axis in my Thrustmaster T.1600M. They only respond when I go to idle on the physical slider and there it remains whatever I do with that joystick’s slider. All the other commands working fine (at least, I haven’t discovered any other failing). The only way to use throttle is mouse and keyboard. Lastly something even changed and throttles kinda came to life, for now if I put’em up, say, with the mouse, they steadily slow down by themselves in such a way that it becomes virtually nightmare to fly a plane. Figure out for example, trying to land a plane with these bewitched throttles!
Now I narrate some related issues that may or may not be connected to this throttle failure. The only things I’ve timely linked to this problem are a) Hours earlier I installed a free scenery enhancement in St. Barts from MSFS Addons.net. As I found some issues, I uninstalled it ASAP. And b) Immediately after that, I switched to DX12 just to try, and then I found I simply MSFS could not open anymore. I could open it in safer mode only and then, I re-switched to DX11. Then I recovered all functions EXCEPT throttle use in my X axis from my joystick.
Detail steps to reproduce the issue encountered:
Not sure if it can be reproduced, but you’d have to download St. Bart’s enhancement program first, install it, run it, uninstall it, switch to DX12, re-switch to DX11 and see what happens, but I believe that it must be easier reviewing first other cases of throttle failure and how were they solved.

Already mentioned.
Build Version # when you first started experiencing this issue:
I bought this simulator in September 2020 and it is completely updated. Don’t know where can I get the build version number… sorry.
