How do I use the TCA Airbus Sidestick alongside a controller

Hi there!

I have just purchased the Airbus TCA Sidestick from Thrustmaster and I'm loving it. However, it completely disables my Xbox controller. When I unplug the controller and replug it, it appears in the controls page but the sidestick starts to malfunction. It doesn't allow me to turn my aircraft with the sidestick and the buttons do not work. I am on PC. 

I use the Xbox controller to capture cinematics for my YouTube and find it a lot easier to control the drone camera with the controller so would love to be able to use them together.

Any help would be appreciated 🙂

Go through the Controller options in MSFS and clear out anything related to aircraft controls. I did that with mine and just left the camera stuff.

I don't know why I never thought of that! Thanks 🙂
