been using fs9 and ms usb joystick no problems
just installed real flight & xmtr in game port

fs now wants to use stick in game port not usb stick
( found this out at about 140 kts about 2/3 way down runway ..... )

if i go into fs settings to pick stick the high lite bar always flips back to real flight xmtr .......

what do i need to do?

found a solution

go into device manager and disable game port before starting fs

didn't even have to reboot..

haven't tried re enabling yet though .......

I've not had any problems. I have five devices connected and MSFS dosn'tt hold a preference. I have encountered however...

If you select a joystick and then select joystick tab, the first device is re-selected.

In order...Select buttons or axis tab

then normal or slew mode

then the device

Maybe that helps

What do computers and air conditioners have in common?
They both will work perfectly, until you open windows.
