Load up the game and go to World Map to start a flight… Cant select anything with a controller, but as soon as i plugged my mouse in i could select a departure airport.
I then unplugged my mouse and again, the cursor disappeared and i couldn’t select anything.
Restarted fully and just the same again, cant select a Departure Airport with controller, only USB mouse.
Same issue here, literally can’t select anything in the menus with just a controller
Click L3 (press down on left stick). I believe that puts the controller into cursor mode from what I’ve read.
Not tried it, no XBox here and still waiting for download to complete on PC
im sure i tried this, will try again now
Clicking L3 doesn’t work, depending on what screen you’re in it either does nothing or loads a help menu
Sorry it didn’t help. That is what the release notes say to do.
No worries, thank you for chiming in and trying to help 
yeah its just a help menu… thank you for trying though dude
No probs. I’ll probably be back later asking the same question as I use an XBox controller on PC and would like to avoid using the mouse if possible
I FOUND THE ANSWER
I´ve this same problem, but I don´t have the pc version installed anymore, I really thing this should be addressed in an update.
all you have to do is plug a mouse in dude, you dont need the PC version installed…
Plug mouse in go to settings, and just click the arrow to change “controller profile” press Y on controller to save, unplug mouse…
Im flying right now
