Suddenly Joystick disabled

[MarioDonick 752]

Hi,

although my main simulators are a bit more modern, I still have FS2004 on my slow laptop.

I recently reinstalled Windows 10 on this laptop, fully updated etc.

Then I installed FS2004 and a few addons.

Simply set up my Joystick (Thrustmaster A320) and all worked fine.

Then I tried to install the old Project Tupolev. Got hundreds of gauge errors. Found a more recent version of the plane somewhere - now only 1 gauge error.

But now my Joystick in the sim is disabled. It is shown in the joystick settings and all axes and buttons as I set them. It is still disabled. The enable option does nothing.

Works fine in Windows calibration settings and in another game.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

I solved the problem by completely uninstalling the Tupolev and the sim, then reinstalling the sim without the Tupolev. I guess I will then not use that aircraft. Don't have this problem since then.
