Re: flight controls not working on PC

@EA_Kent It is on steam. And I guess I should mention that reinstalling steam was another thing that I tried.

Got it, thanks! What type of HOTAS are you using? 

/Kent

@EA_Kent I have a warthog HOTAS with MFG crosswind peddles.

@rrekrut81 

Perfect, thanks. What happens if you try starting up your PC in a Clean Boot before you launch the game? I'm curious if there might be something else running on your PC that's related to the game not accepting the inputs from the HOTAS. 

For more information on how to set one up check out the EA Help website. Let me know how that goes once you've had the chance to give it a shot. Thanks!

@EA_Kent Just to be clear though, the game does accept input from the hotas. I can navigate through all the menus with the hotas. It’s only once I launch into the flight part of the game that it doesn’t accept inputs from anything, including keyboard.

Hi @rrekrut81,

It's definitely strange that it wouldn't even accept keyboard inputs. I'm wondering if there's something else that's taking window focus while the game is running.

Do you use any overlays while you're playing?

@EA_Kent I guess I've had xbox game bar running in background. I've tried it now with game bar turned off but it hasn't made a difference.

@rrekrut81 

Gotcha. Do you have any other USB input devices connected to your PC besides your mouse, keyboard, and the HOTAS/pedals? If so, can you try disconnecting the other devices to see if that makes any difference at all?
