Sorry to come back but do you have any advice? I cannot play at all since 1.14.6.0 after all attempts to reinstall, even Windows reinstall.

The controller worked perfectly with 1.14.5.0 and earlier. Now it crashes to Windows if the controller is connected.

Many thanks!

A couple of things:

  1. Did you install the TM drivers and does Windows Game Controller Calibration recognize the stick correctly?

  2. Have you tried different USB Ports?

My experience with another kind of Joystick and the same problem : 1. Start the game 2. when game start to load unplug the internet cable 3. connect jostick and create profile 4.close game 5.connect internet 6.start game 7. fs 2020 will ask you to download new or old data 8.new of course 9.download update…than you have to config jostick and all game setup…Happy flight !!!
Problem is in corrupted old files !!!

This may be of help?

Thank you all very much for your suggestions!

Indeed, the cloud profile was the issue. I have the Store variant.
