Thanks for the advice. I visited the thrustmaster website and tried to install the driver and firmware but I ran into problems. I downloaded a file that appeared to be a combination of firmware and driver — i got a message that the firmware was successfully updated but my system does not to have updated the driver as I have no hotas control panel.when i go to windows bluetooth and devices the hotas one shows up but when clicking on the ‘more’ option all I get is ‘remove’.
