Thank you MAXsenna. I'll try the WD 40, but the Lua files, etc. is over my head I'm afraid. Thanks again. BTW, is there any way for me to get these messages sent to my email instead of me having to come onto the forum? Thanks

Wondering if I've done something wrong. Is anyone seeing this post?

My NEW thrustmaster 1600m is not working correctly. That is, the SLEW control is not working correctly. The X-Axis is fine, but the Y-axis is totally erratic, rendering the slew control useless. I adjusted settings,, I downloaded latest software. I did everything I know but I'm convinced it's a hardware issue. Is there any way to use my mouse for SLEWING instead of my mini-stick? I tried doing that in the settings, but it won't let me configure the mouse for this purpose. PS: Yes, I will try to get a replacement from thrustmaster but I hate to stop using DCS while waiting!

THANK YOU MINSKY, I didn't see how to make sure TARGET is up to date, but since I just downloaded it yesterday I assume it was. So I deleted it and now all is well. I greatly appreciate the fast response -- and your comment was "right on." Thanks again

Hi all, I'm new to DCS, although I've been using X-plane 11 and 12 for about 12 months. Upon discovering and downloading DCS, I used my existing yoke and throttle quadrants to see if I wanted to really dive into DCS -- and I do! So after watching some videos and listening to advice, I purchased the Thrustmaster t1600 joystick and throttle. But when I installed them, I noticed an immediate decrease in performance. Lots of staggering on the screen, etc. Upon researching the problem a bit, I found that my FRAME RATE had decreased from 60-70 FPS to around 20 FPS (average). Here are my system specs: Processor: 11th Gen intel core (TM) i9 - 11900H@2.5 GHZ RAM: 32 GM HD: 950 GB So here's my question: Will I have to return the Thrustmaster hardware, or are there some system settings I can change so that I can continue to use them? PS: I did change my graphics options to LOW instead of HIGH, but I saw no difference in performance when I did this. PPS: I'm sorry if I've posted this in the wrong place -- this is my first post, so let me know where I should have posted and I'll do better next time.
