Hi There,

I have had the CH Eclipse in full working order for 3 days. Those 3 days I had the complete Game Setup in the living room because I was still waiting for a new game / work desk. When the desk arrived and was set in the new Game Room I disconnected the CH Eclipse from the PC and built everything back up on the new desk.
If I choose “Controls” at “Options” I also see the CH Eclipse on a tab, I see the switches respond when I press it.
When I am in “My Hangar” I can operate the camera with the CH Eclipse.
In short, the CH Eclipse is recognized.

Then I go to: Flight Training and choose the first lesson, Basic Controls & Camera and finally click on Ready To Fly then I see the cockpit of the Cessna 152 and the engine sound and then no movement. At the top left a black screen with the name OBJECTIVES, in the middle, at the bottom, a larger black screen with the name BASIC CONTROLS. and below that CH Eclipse YOKE with the two arrows to the left and right, as is also stated in Options / Controls.
All keys do not work, including ESC. The cursor moves but clicking does not work. Only an end via task manager will stop the program.

I did try all USB ports for the CH, restart the game but no positive result.
I think a ‘reset to factory’ would help, but how do I do that?
Or does someone have a different idea?

I have that same yoke and it works fine except for the trim wheel would not adjust the elevator trim fast enough. I changed it to the grey buttons for trim nose up/down and used the trim wheel for flaps up/down. My controls cut out when I go to the 2nd monitor to use ATC or change views. I also had a complete loss of controls which turned out that the AI Copilot somehow got turned on. pressed Ctrl-Alt-X to deactivate it.

I also used Win10 to calibrate the yoke outside game.

I too have the same yoke and it works. Do you use it other sims? Did you try FS without the yoke?
I can’t control menu with my yoke. Maybe your controller is configured different some way? Do you have CH Eclipse yoke driver installed? I use mine with generic windows driver cause I had problems before when using CH Eclipse driver with other flight sim.
