MS Flight Simulator does not start when joystick is connected?

As already described in the title, the MS Flight Simulator 2020 does not start when I have connected my joystick (SpeedLink PHANTOM HAWK Flightstick). As soon as I disconnect the USB from the joystick from the PC, it works again.

With JoyStick connected, I get to a black screen with a white loading animation in the lower right for about 5-10 seconds. Then the game closes again.

I've already tried to fix the game, reset it, reinstall it from scratch (yes, the whole 130GB…). Nothing works. I can't find a solution anywhere on the Internet. Does anyone here have any ideas?

I start the game via the Microsoft Store and games via the xBox subscription for 1 euro.

Somehow that with the joysticks and other sticks is currently a problem… I think it must be due to the drivers. I switched to a PS4 controller and now I fly like that.

Do you have the game on Steam, DVD or how does it work for you?

St

I downloaded the game from the MS Store.

Hu

Ok, interesting. Driver up to date?

St

Yes, the driver was up to date. I bought this JoyStick today. But now I've deleted the driver and started the game. TADA works. I'm going crazy after 3 hours + reinstallation… Finally gamble.

Wait, that would be too nice… Now it says that he has a game controller, but he can't assign it. Which interns programmed something like that…

Hu

Take a different USB socket… Is the USB 3.0 3.1 or 2.0?

St

Unfortunately, I've already tried several. I don't know exactly which version I have. But since it is recognized by Windows, it can only be due to the FSX

Hu

Do you play FSX? Not the new 2020?

St

No, sorry. Of course the new 2020
