MS Flight Simulator (2020)

Hello,

I have just purchased MS Flight Sim (2020) and can't seem to set up my Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 controller for it.

It detects the controller but I'm unable to select a control binding and press a button on the joystick to assign it.

Is there a way to make this work?

    Works fine for me aswell with the roll. I put a 25% deadzone and took down sensitivity to -10% on all axis exept X! Made it easier to control the aircraft more smoothly :)

    The roll (ailerons) is smooth on mine. The game's response to the joystick's movement is pretty sensitive so I use a light touch.  I also have to be careful not to twist the joystick while I'm turning which is easy to do as that will cause the rudders to move. I did not adjust any of the sensitivity settings or dead zones.  Below is a screen shot of those settings.  When I move any of the axes they move smoothly on the diagonal line and each 'left / right', 'forward / back', 'twist left / twist right' moves the horizontal bar 1/2 way left or right from center which is also smooth.

    Note: Make sure your movements are tied to the correct axis setting.  I had to play with this for a while until I got it right as there are so many axis settings.  The ones I listed are the ones that are working for me.
