I have the Steam version of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Had it since launch and its been fine until recently.
I loaded it up after taking a break for a few months and have found it does not play nicely with my Saitek Pro Flight Yoke + Pedals + Quadrant.
– Quadrant –
In aircraft when I use the fuel mixture lever it behaves as follows:
- Full - Correctly reflects full mixture in game
- Anything less than full - Goes to about 2/3 in game
My prop feather level works fine
Throttle works generally okay except the 350i, on this aircraft the throttle at 0 does not stop the aircraft from taxing by itself. The reverse thrust part of the quadrant also does not work
– The Yoke –
Seems to work okay in terms of the buttons, but periodically the sim stops registering the yoke. For example I will go into a left or right bank and centre the yoke but the sim stays in the bank (or worse, keeps banking the aircraft more and more). I will move the yoke all about to regain control but there will be 10-15 seconds where it does not respond (buttons do mind you), it’s almost like it has stopped polling.
– Pedals –
The pedals sometimes experience a similar issue to the yoke in that occasionally the sim stops polling the pedals. So I can use the toe braking but nothing happens or I turn the rudder and nothing will happen. Though this happens much rarer than the yoke and is not as much of an issue
In the 350i (and maybe other aircraft) I have found lately that the aircraft upon landing will not respond to the toe brakes meaning I have to hope for a long runway until they respond or get on the reverse thrust (using the mouse due to the above quadrant issue)
- I have removed all the aircraft liveries I have in my community folder (the only mods I have), but the issues remain
- I do not use developer mode
- I have tried resetting the controller settings in the sim to defaults, I have switched the Saitek input options between Default and the Saitek Profiles but the issue remains
- My yoke and pedals are connected directly to rear USB connections on my PC, not via a hub
– PC Specs –
AMD Ryzen 5900X
32GB 3600Mhz RAM
NVIDIA Geforce 1080
Sim is installed on a dedicated internal NVMe drive
I also noticed that the sim freezes upon loading with the Orbx London Landmark pack installed (when it gets to about 75% loaded), but I’ve read this is a known issue and has been reported by many so I’m less concerned by this. I’ve uninstalled it for now.
