Mouse doesn't work

[SSF 11]

Hello, I bought the X-Plane 12 steam version. In this version I cannot enable the yoke mouse. In the demo version (not Steam) this function works perfectly. In the steam version it shows an Xbox controller connected, but I don't have any controller connected to my computer. How do I resolve this issue and enable the mouse?

As I don't own the Steam version, unfortunately I don't have a direct answer (apart from that Steam may interfere with controllers in some way from what I know from other titles). But, if you want to use X-Plane regularly, I would recommend x-plane.org* as forum because there are (for obvious reasons 🙂) the most X-Plane users.

* It is not affiliated with Laminar Research but "only" a dedicated forum for X-Plane.

BTW, in my opinion it's always better to buy from the original vendor than from Steam - applies also for other titles.

Thanks. Yes, Steam is interfering with controller tuning and I can't change it. I've searched several sites and haven't found a solution to the problem. The price is better on Steam and that's why I didn't buy it from the supplier.

From Bing

• Click the gear icon to open the settings menu, and then click "Controller Settings".
• Untick any relevant controller setting boxes, or select "Disable Steam Input" from the dropdown menu.
• Alternatively, you can disable Steam controller settings for a specific game by selecting the game in the library, clicking "Manage Game", "Controller Options", and then "Forced Off".
