I have an odd development in my stock installtion of msf2020.  I'm not sure how long this has been going on, but today I started msf2020, loaded up a simple 152 and went flying.  I noticed that my trim buttons on the joystick weren't working.   Paused the sim and go to control assignments and where the joystick image with the control buttons numbered used to be, now there's just a black and white question mark.  Stopped and started the computer up and restarted msf2020 with the same thing.  So...here's the question.  I just recently installed Xplane 12.  The control assignments in that sim work fine.  Has Xplane 12 somehow hijacked or corrupted msf2020 joystick profile/assignments ??  Before I start the delete/add routine I though I'd check here and see if anyone else has seen this ?

Thanks

 

Just a thought. Start MSFS without the joystick plugged. Once the sim is loaded plug the joystick in and check  if working.

That or check the assignments in the controller properties in Windows.  To see if the buttons work etc.

thanks for the suggestions.  whatever has happened has removed the joystick settings.  whenever i remove the usb and then reattach, it gives me the option to ignore or setup as a new device.  So all the presets that I had put in to start with are gone.  I've re-assigned the "new" joystick the same settings as before and so far it appears to retain them.  I just thought it an odd coincidence that up until the last update followed shortly by the installation of xplane 12 that suddenly all the previous settings dissappeared.   Guess we'll see in a few more days how things sort out.

Thanks again for all the help.
