Microsoft Flight SIM 2020 - Play Anywhere

"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....

I'm sure it will be play anywhere since that is a trend in Microsoft.

Hi JustinSpike

Like many ambassadors have said, it is still too early to tell. It would be really cool if they make it a play anywhere title. Fingers crossed.

Why not sign up as an insider? You will be in the loop to get news early. Link below:

Too early for such distribution detail. However, it will roll out for both Windows PC & Xbox.

See video previews and more details at Flight Simulator 2020 Video Previews.

As the others already mentioned it is too early to say anaything about it. In my personal Opinion it is possible that it will be a Play anywhere title and that it will be part of any game pass since it is a first part game. Really excited to play the game
myself and it would be nice if we could play it on the console and the pc with the same savegame.
