Thank you for your comment, CH4Pz. I tried the units in X-Plane 11. They were recognized in that as well, but were also not functioning properly. I suspect I might have received bad units. Grrr! I'm looking forwarding to becoming addicted to DCS! I didn't think drivers were required, vtaf_arche; thank you for confirming for me. I do see both the flightstick and throttle recognized. I clicked on "rescan devices" with no luck. I might have a defective unit.

Good evening, all. I was introduced to DCS about four years ago by a friend and was blown away by how real it is. I was a Naval Aircrewman on SH-60Bs, I have my private pilots license, and love aviation. I've finally acquired the hardware goodies to run DCS myself but it's not going well so far. First, I picked up a Logitech X-56 HOTAS. My first attempt to use it didn't go so well because it wasn't recognizing the throttle unit. The flight stick worked, but not the throttle. (I did have a friend's Thrustermaster stick and throttle plugged in for the first week and they both ran fine.) I tried assigning the throttle myself in the controls menu, but DCS just wouldn't recognize the throttle. (Yes, it's plugged in.) I uninstalled DCS Beta and am reinstalling it with the throttle and flightstick plugged in. Are there any known problems with this happening to others? Should I expect success this second time around? Any help would be much appreciated. TheWingflyer
