Sidewinder 2 FFB joystick recognised as XBOX 360 controller?

Hi all, 

Just got MSFS 2020 installed and working after many hours of issues and a rebuild of my PC, having been out of the sim game for a while (but sold ont the reviews for the stunning looking MSFS2020) and with baited breath plugged in my Sidewinder 2 FFB with xpforce, hoping to get the experience with FFB as some on here I read have had success with aaaand..

The SW2 is recognised as an XBOX 360 controller!

This is most infuriating. I even have the original install discs for the joystick - no joy. 

How have ppl on here been able to get around this?

I have also uninstalled the controller, restarted and plugged in. Got the same result?!

Would be most grateful for any advice as I can see many of you are quite knowledgeable and may know how to solve this weird one.
