In fact the controller that I have is one that is listed at the beginning of this forum, as a controller that is supposed to work with this software:
6ch Flight Simulator Controller....so, what am I missing here?
Viewing post in Getting your controller connected
Usually when some channels work but not others it is because there's a conflict with some other input device. Make sure you don't have any other joysticks/controllers/graphics tables connected at the same time.
Also, make sure you uninstall vJoy and Smartpropoplus if you have them. Their driver messes with things when connecting via USB.
(And, some controller works just fine on some hardware/operating systems, and not so well on other. Therefore there is never I guarantee that any particular controller will definitely work on your particular system).
OK just a little followup here. I did manage to get my controller working after all (with some help from a friend.) In my case, the controller has 4 settings that you can choose for it to emulate different modulation schemes. We got it to work with the switch that is at the bottom of the controller set to the second setting from the bottom. It says something like ACR or something like that . Sorry but I don't have it in front of me right now. But with it set there we did get it to work on Windows 10. However it would not work properly on my Windows 7 computer. Obviously your mileage may vary, but hopefully this might help someone else out
