I reinstalled today trying to solve various issues. Here's another one that popped up. Within the game I can only choose simple controls, when I choose advanced controls and return to the main menu it and then look at controls again it always reverts to simple controls. I'm reasonaly sure my CH joystick,throttle are plugged consistently into the same USB ports.Any ideas appreciated.

Hi,Go into your Windows Control Panel/Game Controllers and see if your joystick is being recognized properly.

Howdy Jim,Everything looks fine in windows control panel, and indeed the joystick and throttle both work fine in FSX under simple controls.
