Hallo Pete,
I refer to that thread Thrustmaster Throttles Not Recognized
https://forum.simflight.com/topic/88335-thrustmaster-throttles-not-recognized-please-help/
which I followed with great interest and great gain of knowledge.
You edited your - respective John´s - post: (Changed layout by me)
1. Find the device (VID_044F&PID_0404 Throttle)in the Control Panel – System – Device Manager,
right click and uninstall, including driver if option presented.
2. Unplug the device (Throttle).
3.Create and Execute a registry.reg file containing the text highlighted below, then run this “as administrator” to make sure all registry entries are removed:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKCU\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\DirectInput\VID_044F&PID_0404]
[-HKCU\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\DirectInput\VID_044F&PID_0404]
4. Power off.
5. Re-connect the device
6. Re-boot and test again.
to
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKCU\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\DirectInput\VID_044F&PID_0404]
[-HKCU\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\DirectInput\VID_044F&PID_0404]
[-HKCU\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\DirectInput\VID_044F&PID_0402]
[-HKCU\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\DirectInput\VID_044F&PID_0402]
shouldn´t it read instead as John postet later in this threat:
instead of \DirectInput\ \Joystick\OEM\ in the second and fourth line? to make shure that really all registry entries for the two devices are removed
Just for my better understanding , cause I´ve also a problem with a Thrustmaster device (T-Pendular Rudder).
Trying to solve my issue, I came to the point at least, I have to delete the registry keys for that device, to get one step further.
And I want to be shure that all registry entries for that device (T-Pendular Rudder) are removed. So, In my case the two lines should be:
[-HKCU\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\DirectInput\VID_044F&PID_B68F]
blank line
[-HKCU\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\VID_044F&PID_B68F]
And it´s the registry, you know - I have to be carefull - and I´m not an expert in that. Nevertheless I have a backup of the registry and
recent images (backups) for my whole system.
Apriori I try further on for myself - most knowledge gain! - but should I run out of ideas maybe I am so frank and allow myself to ask you as an expert.
Anything from you would be much appreciated!
Thank you for your answer in advance.
Best wishes to you and John
