First off, FreeRider is awesome! I have it on my tablet and have installed it on my windows 10. I can not get either of my controllers to work with the game, I have a devo-10 and a sprektrum dx6. I have tried using the usb and audio cable, I have downloaded smartpropoplus and it won't recognize either controller. I have also taken it to a computer repair shop and they couldn't get anywhere with it either.

At this point I would be happy to buy a cheap usb flight simulator controller if you can recommend one that you would know would work with windows 10 and freerider.

Thanks!

If you have Deviation installed on the Devo 10 you should be able to just connect it straight via USB, using the model file that is mentioned in the manual. (You might have to uninstall smartproplus for that to work)

The Spektrum should work with a mono audio cable and smartproplus. There are some videos and documents in the first post which might be of help.

I know several people including myself have successfully used a cheap old 4 channel Esky usb controller such as this

but I don't know if you can still get one of those. (The 6 channel HobbyKing variant is known to -not- work with Freerider).

I just purchased the RC TECH DYNAM 6 Channel USB. Freerider callibration does not see it. Any suiggestions on how to get it to work? It does work with RDS PreAlpha but not real smooth (I think it's the sim and not the controller. FreeRider received so many good reviews I was hoping it would work so I went ahead and purchased it. Now I've got nothing.

I too have a Devo10 and had issues getting it to work initially.

Use the model file that is included in the instructions above.
Your model freq will be USBHID.
This should get the computer to acknowledge your xmitter and let you get it set up.

One thing I did notice though was a hinky connection. Windows would continually tell me "USB Device Not Recognized" (Or malfunctioned) ... Once I got Windows straightened out, all went better.

I have a DX6. Did you ever get it to work?
