Hey, Thanks for responding. Here we go: 1) I have MFS, DCS World stand alone, as well as the steam edition War Thunder, Comanche, Ace Combat. Start Wars and Elite Dangerous. The only ones that seem to function properly are Star Wars - Elite Dangerous and ACE Combat 2) I don't use the standard handheld controllers like xbox, I only use flight sticks. As example DCS I have Flaming cliffs, and supercarrier, and I purchased MIG 29, F14 and F15 and the Hornet There are a few others planes that came with the game itself, but starting from runway I can't get lift, so pulling back, or using rudder to turn (Saetek X52 Pro, or Thrustmaster FCS Combined all I do is go straight of runway and crash and burn. Same thing on the carrier, I just slowly fall off into the water. My Logitech software and Windows based joy.cpl all indicate Axis, sliders and buttons registering perfectly. I've recalibrated several times without success. 3) Yes I have tried YouTube tutorials, and I tried to follow all examples. I don't recall The names associated with the channels I've watched. I will look for those you mentioned as soon as possible. 4) I use my PC for Music production 90% of the time, so I have all my pc's optimized which included the USB Selective suspend is disabled. There are about twenty different settings that I've changed to enhance the performances specific to recording music, and mixing and mastering sound. I don't think any of these settings would inhibit gaming, but I couldn't rule it out except that I have the three Sim programs that work well. I'm really only interested in DCS World, and Microsoft Flight Sim. The latter was my main interest as I used to fly small fixed wing aircraft many years ago. DCS though is some terrific software, and Ive really become obsessed with it's possibilities, but It's has been challenging. I have went through the the update and repair process, and I have uninstalled all of my sims, games using third party paid uninstallers, and then reinstalled them. As I mentioned initially they seemed okay, but as I began to expand the mappings for more control of each aircraft in options/control I actually start loosing control. This is why I'm certain it's an issue that I'm causing rather than my system. Though systems become dated pretty quickly nowadays I over built my towers with care, and quality components with music and gaming in mind. I would installed better GPU's, but they are harder to find these days, and being relatively new at gaming spending $3k on a GPU seemed unwise. I have become a fan of sims though now, and if I can graduate to a level of consistent play rather than computer programming frustrations I would build me a sim setup that would rival any out there. I think I've answered your questions, and I will follow your advice, but I may have to do another uninstall and clean install to get back to square one. I fear I've pushed to many wrong buttons trying to make this work. I really appreciate your help, and I'll update my progress. Thanks,

HEY, I am 60 years young, smart and have been using computers since the 70's. I'm now retired and I've spent mega bucks on just about everything for flight sim, but I cannot make any of my controllers function properly. I've been at this for over a year starting with the Thrustmaster Combined FCS, and got so frustrated with it, and the lack of support that I shelved it. Began again a few months later, and figured I just buy a different set up Logitech X52 Pro HOTAS. They all say plug and play, and that works for a bout a day, and then everything starts acting erratic. I know its probably something I'm doing, or not doing, but after about 2 years, and several hundred hours of not flying and enjoying, but trying to get this working, and I'm about ready for a bonfire. I'm not sure how this can be resolved, but I do have team viewer for remote work, and will pay for a successful outcome. No scammers. Just a legitimate arrangement to get me off the ground, and this needs to happen fast.
