Newbie! Major Issues! Cannot get Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS Flightpack to work at All !

[Reddogg32]

Have been trying for over 10 hours trying to get going here and am getting very frustrated. Used to fly Red Baron 3D and thought I would like to try Flying Circus so purchased Battle of Stalingrad as base game so I could fly the Flying Circus 1 game. Have tried installing using thrustmaster controls from Thrustmaster  site several times, all I see is a spinning wheel ( for 6 hours last time) and nothing being installed . For some reason throttle control works , but backwards ( pull back to increase throttle) but joystick and rudder pedals ( plugged into throttle control at the moment ( adaptor on the way for separate rudder pedals installation )do not work at all. What do I need to do? Uninstall everything somehow? I have heard these controls are plug and play but they do not seem to work. What do I need to do?

Installed drivers and software. Have Windows 11. Joystick shows up in devices but can't use in game or configure.

Thanks in advance..

@Reddogg32  it sounds like you are able to have all three controls recognized by Windows 11, but only the throttle is recognized by IL-2. Is that correct?

[Reddogg32]

Actually the Joystick and the throttle are recognized but the rudder pedals ( that are plugged into throttle) are not recognized. Only throttle works; but incorrectly.

when I go into the IL 2 game under input devices, control mode , joystick has "tank turret control" which is not what I need. Even tried driving a tank but joystick actually did nothing with a tank either, can't seem to change this to anything else....

Uninstall target software if that is what you downloaded.

 

In this reddit thread, one user struggled for a long time.  Uninstalled target and got up and running.

Also try one device at a time.  Start with joystick, if that works,  then throttle then rudders.
