Brief description of the issue:

Up until 1 or 2 months ago, my Saitek ProFlight X-55 Rhino throttle and joystick set was working perfectly. However, suddenly some of its buttons have stopped working, especially the Rotary 3 and 4 buttons, which I had assigned to the Mixture and Propeller controls.

I have tried to get them working again, but they do not respond properly. They are not recognized by the simulator or, occasionally, they act as a switch (on/off) and not in a progressive manner.

I have even changed the USB ports for the cables, but I have not found a solution.

What could have happened? Why doesn’t the simulator recognize them anymore? Could it have been due to a recent simulator update?

The controls work perfectly. I have tested them in Prepar3d and they work as expected.

Finally, I even uninstalled MSFS and reinstalled it from scratch, leaving out all my add-ons, but the same problem persists.
