X52 and MS Forcefeedback not recognized by IL2 game

[SOB_Looper]

I just installed the SSD containing my Steam games from my old PC to my new PC. configured steam to the SSD and all is good. My PC and Steam recognize my X52 and MS stick but my IL2 FB doesn't recognize either. These are the same controllers I have used for years (been flying since first IL2) and both still work fine. gone from Win 10 to Win 11. From ALienware R4 to a R16. I need help with this issue, I need my flying fix.

I emptied the data folder. I check the stick flight control in game settings. replugged USB cords and even moved to different USBs. I suspect it is a simple matter, maybe steam or game setting but I do not know where.

Good morning Looper,

 

I hope all is well.

 

The instant I installed Windows 11, my SidewinderFF was not recognised but the X-52 was fine. I went back to Windows 10 and all was well; however, some people on here may be able to help as they have the Sidewinder FF working well with Windows 11.

 

I hope it works out for you.
