Okay, so I was taking off from SFO on VATSIM when suddenly my plane just started veering off the runway and I just tried to stop it from going to another runway where another plane was taking off. So I did, but I just disconnected from VATSIM. Then I saw that my joystick was not light up on my X52 Pro Controls but my throttle was, so I was able to slow it down but not turn it. But I have no idea what in the world happened??!! I have never had this happen before and I tried to plug out the plug from the joystick and plug it in, switched the plugs from both controls and then tried to plug it out from the computer and plug it back in, nothing. I saw though that when I plugged out the cord that connects both controllers, the throttle still worked even with just the plug in the computer. I am so mad, and I have no idea what is going on. Any suggestions/help/tips would be great! Thanks for anything to get me back on track guys! I've got Windows 7 and a Dell Inspirion 580 computer.

Hi,

this issue may happen if you have more than one joysticks connected to the computer. In that case, you may disconnect other joystick if it's not necessary for flying, or you may change key assignments to avoid conflict between functions.

Best,
Kristijan
