Cannot get my X55 controller working

Featured Replies

I am not enjoying this user interface. I cannot get my X55 controllers working. They show up in the menu but I cannot assign any buttons and when I load a flight the axis don't respond! I am not having fun.....

I've owned every version of flight simulator since Flight Simulator 3.0 in 1988.

Windows 11 Pro loaded on a 4TB Gen5 Crucial T700 SSD, 4TB Samsung 990 Pro SSD, Ryzen 9 7950x3d, AS Rock X670e Taichi Motherboard, Gigabyte Gaming RTX 4090 OC 24GB, 64GB (2x32GB) Viper Venom  DDR5-6000MT/s, MSI 32" MAG 321UPX QD-OLED 260hz 4K Gaming Monitor.

 

 

Hi Pete,

I was able to set up my X-55. I had to assign everything manually. 
 

However, for some reason I had to click into the “search by input” field before pressing the controller button I wanted to assign. Otherwise it wouldn’t recognize my input. 
 

hope this helps 

 

Just set up my x55 without any problems. Don’t know where ur problem is

Guys can anyone help, I had to do a reinstall of windows 10 and trying to install my X55 again but the Next button is greyed out?! I know there was something I had to do last time to get it to work but cannot remember. Can you help

 

Kind regards

You really have to pay attention to what axis and things you are assigning. I spent three hours fighting with my joystick last night only to feel really dumb in the end.
