Title: FSX:SE with X-Box 360 Controller for Windows and GSX
Post by: DaOpa on October 24, 2016, 11:29:30 am

Hi,

When I start FSX:SE and go in the Settings my Controller ist displayed with "X-Box 360 Controller for Windows". After starting a flight and using GSX for Pushback my Button-Settings did'nt work as set. As example:
The "Start" Button I use for set parkingbrakes. At Pushback the "Start" Button has a double function: set parking Brakes and Gear up! Or another button: Button B is set to decrase Throttle - after Pushback it is next view.
Have you any idea what's to do to solve this Problem?
How can I create some logfiles where you can see a reason for this Problem?

Kind regards,

Manfred

The problem doesn't have anything to do with GSX, and happen with every addon that has any kind of window: it's a known FSX bug that happens only with the Xbox controller, which disconnects/reconnect itself (as a different controller) whenever the sim display any kind of window, see here for an explanation, and witness that happens with other addons too:

There's nothing we can do: it's a bug in the FSX code, and it has been fixed in Prepar3D only very recently.
