    FS 2020 installation problems


    I installed the FS 2020 using Xbox. I assigned control surfaces and throttle to the joystick which I calibrated in Windows. I create the flight and the screen opens with the Xbox controller on the screen. The keyboard and joystick are not responding. How to fix the problem? How to remove and reinstall the app? Does anyone have a link or PDF that can be used for step-by-step installation?

    :)

    Hopefully Microsoft will address this problem. It just does not work with FS 2020 well.

    Flight Simulator 2020 - T.Flight HOTAS One works with everything EXCEPT "Free Flight," which is why I purchased. Makes NO sense. Suggestions please.

    I too have exactly the same problem described - and it's driving me daft.

    It seems that it is not uncommon and that the issue is within FS 2020 rather than my Thrustmaster HOTAS One joystick.

    I have tried everything that I can think of to find a fix including re-installing FS and joystick drivers.

    Does anyone have a solution for this vexing problem please?

    Cannot reinstall MS Flight Simulator 2020 for PC purchased from Microsoft Store

    Hi,

    Thanks for your reply.

    With the help of a friend, I succeeded installing FS 2020.

    If I am correct, he installed Gaming Services.

    Thanksnagain for your help.

    I had the same problem here, I found a solution.

    I had already installed it on drive 2, so I had to find the place where the package was already before. I found this path

    D: \ WpSystem \ "NUMBER" \ AppData \ Local \ Packages \ Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe \ LocalCache \ Packages

    After selecting this path, the update returned to just 11 GB. Hope this helps.
    That path in your post was exactly what I was looking for.

    I had also installed FS 2020 on drive D. I used the Browse button in FS Installation Manager for the 1.9.3.0 patch to set the folder you specified to override the default that was pointing to a drive C User AppData subfolder.

    It would have been nice if the Installation Manager would have defaulted to this folder where the FS 2020 packages are actually installed, but you have supplied the information to work around that deficiency.

    Thank-you.
