I went in and cleared all bindings and tried again. This time i had windows game controller config open on top of msfs. And again everytime i hit the switch it would light up in the windows config panel as did it show as being pressed in msfs, but I noticed that occasionally and quite randomly in msfs the command seemed to get eaten and not trigger in msfs while at the same time working perfectly in windows. I have no idea what could be causing msfs to occasionally ignore the input.
