FSX Peripherals with Microsoft FS 2020

Featured Replies

Does anyone know whether or not Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) will be backwards-compatible with existing peripherals that were designed for Microsoft FSX? I have a large amount of Saitek peripherals (Cessna yoke/quadrant, Cessna rudder pedals, Cessna trim wheel, switch panel, radio panel, GPS panel). If I were to switch to FS2020 sometime in the future, would I have to buy all-new peripherals, or would my current ones work? Thanks in advance for the help.

I'd imagine that most peripherals will work, if not at initial release, then not long after.

The sticks used in the Alpha videos are already a few years old.
