I have the same issue, fs2020 see the saitec evo, but it is not mapped.

I can map it, but i have no idea what buttons are what?

How do assign brakes to button 1 if i have no idea which button one is? does anyone have a labled map?

Why does this joystick work in every thing other game including fsX, but not fs2020?

Well in theory i don't think so.

But i think will be possible with FS2020 because it's a flight simulator.

I look on internet and find something about pc but with different joystick.

Hi Martina,

Unfortunately not. Cloud gaming is currently only compatible with wired and Bluetooth controllers (not steering wheels, joysticks or any other type of peripherals). So your son would need to install MSFS 2020 and play natively to play the game with a Thrustmaster - a Series X|S or compatible PC would be required for this.

Refer to:

Hope this helps.
