It's not i experience it in ARMA 3 and DCS also
Joystick: Topgun afterburner
I experience the same problems only i experience them also in ARMA 3 and DCS.
I called microsoft who after many hard words about how this is a broken product and i need to give them the opertunity to fix it within reasonable time and otherwise i want my money back. They offered a few solutions: A windows support team FOR 85 EURO's, with no garanty they can fix it. Or the email adress of microsoft flight:
[email protected] .
ofcourse it is a windows problem so they can't help. However they're still working on other games so it is not a dead adress. And i think they can put more pressure on microsoft than we can so maybe all emailling that adress with the same line as me: I called microsoft <the problem> and they directed me to this adress. maybe if we all do that we can create pressure for microsoft to fix this.
Recently i've bought it on steam and gues what it works now. No more disconnects. Personally i think this is a conspiracy of steam and windows to make us all buy in to the DLC fest that will happen with steam. I usually don't think this way but since this is a 3 year old problem almost and the solution comes with steam i pretty much don't think there is another explanation if there isn't any other solution.
Paying 1000's of euro's to get a nice sim and get screwed by windows with a easy fix issue since they know where it comes from.
