Joysticks microsoft sidewinder

I plugged my joystick in and immediately my PC recognized it. I have been playing the game without problems for 3 days. Today I fired up the computer, plugged in my joystick and nothing!

I have installed the software in compatibility mode but still nothing. I have tried all the USB ports on my computer. It's like the PC does not even know the joystick is connected.

Win10 recognises it and installs the appropriate driver automatically. Recommended for those who want a Joystick that will just sit on your desktop through the toughest battles and deliver great feedback and feel and are prepared to use the keyboard alongside for additional control. Verified purchase: Yes Condition: Pre-owned. Brilliant joystick, well made and durable even though it's old. It's well worth the slightly high price tag, and if you like flight sims or space sims this is a great controller.

Brilliant bit of kit. Such a shame Microsoft stopped making them years ago. It is designed for right-handed operation, but it's so well made you can forgive them for that. Getting it to work properly with MS Flight Simulator requires extra software that costs about a tenner. Click on properties to test and you can calibrate and enjoy WW2 fighters once more..

Norm Does it give options in game for keyboard or controller also can you see the joystick in the options in game to enable or customise? The only other thing is to see if any patches on game sites Good luck.

I open the game controllers interface, and theres nothing listed on installed controllers, is there a driver I need to get first? In reply to JordanGlad's post on July 23, Jordan, I have my Sidewinder 2 working it just loaded once connected. The only hint I can give you is try a different USB slot. I have experienced devices working on some USB and not on others.
