Hi there,

first of all, thanks for this super nice game! I used it on macbooks a lot. I recently switched to a freshly installed windows 10 64 machine with the same usb dongle from before and here it goes: freerider recharged does not see the joystick input anymore.

I am using a dongle that looks exactly like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Flight-Simulator-Cable-Futaba/dp/B00DR4I4O0
(the one that is also linked in one of the support pdf files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwSDHIR7yDwSaHNwcmZuQm1NeG8/view?usp=sharing)

Now, windows 10 sees the joystick interface in the windows game controller settings (labeled as 'PPM'). Windows lets me also calibrate all axis as excpected. I also moved the PPM gamecontroller entry to index 1. Nothing helped so far.

I also tried other random generic joystick hardware, which is recognized by windows, but not by freerider recharged.

Any ideas?

Best Regards

Hi there and thank you! Hmm does it not see the joystick input at all?

That is, are you not able to move any of the little circles on the calibration screen up and down?

What kind of radio are you using?

Sometimes there's a conflict if you have other joysticks/controllers/input devices connected at the same time (even Wacom tablets can sometimes cause a conflict)

Thanks for the reply! Yes, i was not able to move the circles.

Except now, after i uninstalled drivers for a 3D Connexxion Space Navigator. After this uninstall everything works as usual.

Unfortunately i need this space navigator for work, so either i uninstall/install that 3dconnexxion drivers at every freerider session, or there might be a fix in the future.
