flight sim 2020 pc microsoft store loads and shuts down

"Hi All

Hope someone can help me.

Successfully configured my CH Flight Sim Yoke to work Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 and did some flying around and landing around my hometown no problems. The configuration setup was saved. I then closed the game down.

Now when I start up Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 it no longer detects the CH Flight Sim Yoke. I have also tried plugging in the CH Fighterstick (which was previously detected) and it is now undetected as well.

The USB ports work fine outside Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 as tested by adding a second keyboard. (update: under Windows 10 device manager I also checked to can see if Windows 10 detects the insertion and removal of the CH controllers - I confirmed OK that
Windows 10 had no problems detecting the addition and removal of the controllers.

It seems to be a detection problem by Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 (despite the fact Windows 10 can detect the controllers)

Welcome any advise why Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 has 'forgotten' its plug in controls.

TIA

This afternoon I was playing FS 2020 with an Xbox controller because Flight gear is not available anywhere, except at Ama..n for 400-500% price markups. Today I received a Thrustmaster Rudder pedal I bought at the Microsoft Store and FS 2020 detect it without
problems. After setting up the axis, I played for awhile and got off. When I got back on a few minutes later my Xbox controller was gone from FS2020. The Rudder Pedals were still showing and working, but no signs of the controller. Unplugging, rebooting
the PC (Windows 10 Pro latest) did not do any good. I tried the controller with Steam games and it works as usual, so there is something going on with FS 2020 recognizing USB devices for sure....

you don't need an xbox console but you require an xbox account which you already have by having a microsoft account. you can then get the latest flight sim 2020 if your pc is of good spec.

the older flight sim is playable with tweaks and plenty of flight sim forums will be the best place to get that game working again.

Have recently 08/19/2020 purchased Microsoft Flight Sim De lux for windows 10, it took approx 15 hrs to download, finally it got going, my joystick did not work had to purchase a new one that was approved . now THE PROGRAM DOES NOT LOAD DOWN ,
it gets stuck at 85% of downloading and that's it. Please send instructions or if not pls cancel and re-inverse the money. Guillermo Cepeda *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

Yes, i bought a new pc, specificly for this simulator, all what they said i would need to play on ultra high settings and it won’t even let me load a flight it just shuts off my pc. $5000 pc for nothing. All my savings gone.

I managed to install the Amazon prime video launcher.And any other free game from the Microsoft store.I have tried to install the Xbox installer app through the Microsoft store;but that won't install either?This flight sim 2020 doesn't want to know my Pc?I have nearly all the other flight Sims running on windows 10 older games running with patches.Why can't Microsoft give me access to the game?😩

That's not his issue he is using a discontinued Service

Anything flight sim below 2020 is discontinued as they were released before xbox games for Windows

@op you are in the wrong section you need to visit steam as gfwl is shut down
