It most definitely included SimConnect, I suspect the post was later edited (and now it seems to be completely removed).
Edit: the post wasn’t appearing for me as it wasn’t logged in on the homepage. But the SimConnect portion was removed from the post.

SimConnect is needed to put me back into the simulator mode versus game mode. Without SimConnect, I am back with P3D v4 which acts like a simulator to the rest of my RW flying action.
I see its still in there post
" In addition to this, we are also actively working on mapping out the functionality of the SimConnect API. We look forward to your continued feedback, which has proven to be invaluable so far! "
Hope it will be soon never the less.
Indeed its more game mode right now instead of sim.
+1, using SPAD next for saitek panels and fps is 50% compare to normal
Brunner problem linked to this issue.
Indeed, I am using the Brunner yoke too. It worked beautifully in Beta. Now it doesn’t work at all.
MAJOR BUG, it needs to be fixed NOW with a hotfix.
I urged everyone to send in a bug report via ZENDESK.
Having us just screaming here is to no use. They need many bug reports to prioritize it.

I have Logitech G Pro Flight multi panel, radio panel and switch panel peripherals that I can’t use because of SimConnect.
I also want to use services like Navigraph, Foreflight, FSEconomy, PilotEdge, VATSIM and more.
Deserves a hotfix.
Petition Microsoft at Zendesk to fix this. Forums are for other users to fix problems for you, Zendesk is for talking to the developers.
MS/Asobo is very un-professional as they not communicate that they are aware of this BIG UGLY BUG.

Thank you for the acknowledgment and feedback. I will stick with Xplane as my main flight sim, for the moment, until the fix is released. Awesome sim btw, well done.
Great - this is what I wanted to hear and that you know that it is a “big deal.” Thanks!

Good to see an official response…and +1 here being a SPAD.neXt and Air Manager user depending on these to support my cockpit build. I’m also a “happy” owner of MSFS 2020 Premium Deluxe that I can’t use with my home cockpit at all because of the SimConnect bug
