Anybody found a solution for removing the X-box controller from the loading screen?

Hello, has anybody found a solution for removing the X-box controller from the loading screen?

I did not find anything yet. So perhaps in the next updates? It is a bit strange, getting an x-box controller in a professional PC simulator.

If anybody had useful information, thanks in advance.

Which loadingscreen? On Xbox? or PC?
On PC simpel unplug your x-box controller

On PC. I have no controller attached.

I had that issue too from time to time. I even do not own a controller. For me it solved it randomly by itself without interaction. If no controller is in play and you see this, I fear you have no possibility to resolve by yourself :man_shrugging:

What do you mean by removing the controller? Is it an image of a controller, cursor, or something else? And during which loading screen, the game loading or flight loading?

I use an Xbox controller, but have no idea what you are referring to.

In pc you usually just see the beautiful loading image. If a controller is connected this image is spoiled by an image of a Xbox controller with text … but if no controller is connected this image of the Xbox controller should also go away, but sometimes it is displayed anyways which is not correct

Screenshot? I don’t recall ever seeing this. I’m on the Steam version in case it makes a difference.

And never seen anything like this either. Also in pc but store version. I have a controller connected (use with the drone camera).

A screenshot would help.

try a fast launch

1 open a command window (type cmd in the search taskbar)
2 use this command (copy and paste)
start shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App “-FastLaunch”

This usually happens when you start the game for the very first time and/or you delete your profile data! Sometimes it also happens if you delete your reserved space! The controller (screen) should disappear on it’s own after starting the game several times!

I am also on Steam, and for me it seems to be fixed, since I didn’t noticed the issue for quite some time now. Anyway, here you go, this is a screenshot how it looked:

Ah ok, I forgot about that. I haven’t seen that in ages.

Today I had to delete my profile data to fix an issue and that Xbox controller banner now appears prior each flight. Does anyone know how to remove it without a full re-install ?. I am on ms-store and don’t have an Xbox controller. See existing report:
