Real Flight Controller not getting recognized

[76561199232681638]

Getting tired of this software.

First I had to resolve KEError 32990 error reading, now it states "ERROR, if your controller (Real Flight Controller) is plugged in (Yes indeed!), please refr to pinned posts in the RealFlight 9.5 Steam Community for possible solutions."

I paid for this simulator in order to PLAY and ENJOY, but not do conduct troubleshooting being a non IT pro.

I will return this game back to sender !!!

Well you did report corrupt files on your computer.

How they got corrupt is another matter not related to the simulator itself.

I solved the same problem after spending 9 hours of bashing my head against a brick wall. I did everything I could think of, reinstall RF plus graphics etc. I even pulled the power supply put and changed it/
I disconnected all external gadgets and HDD's and this solved my problem. It seems RF.9.5 has a dislike for an external SSD. Because when I disconnected everything, including the external SSD and switched the PC back on. RF 9.5 decided to reinstall itself to the internal SSD 9 Drive C: as soon as it finished installing the controller appeared on screen and allowed me to align and calibrate it and actually work. So don't install on a external SSD Try installing on your C: drive. GOOD LUCK

i solved the problem using a USB hub between PS and Interlibk controller

I had a problem where he controller wouldn't work/ It took 9 hours in all but I found the problem, I used a DSS drive solely to install flight sims on for the extra speed, FS2000 and X-Plane worked well but RF9,5 totally refused to work, Once I left the DSS disconnected everything came good. I can't say this will work for everyone ,but good luck, So remember, avoid installing RF9,5 on an external SSD. Use a standard external HDD instead, It works like a charm once everything is edited and calibrated,.

Please note, I found "easy" mode far too slow, and it takes some time to set it up correctly. I thought using switches a,b c,d etc and then switch the same switches to 1,2,3,4 etc. rather misleading. I paid well over $300 for not much more than an sew extra planes and flight fields. Using the old Interlink Elite didn't seem to give better flight control. I recommend buying just the software and using your old controller, it's a lot cheaper. It doesn't seem to fly any better than RF7.

Notice RF is now allowing version 7 and 8 to fly with version 9,5. Possibly an indication of fewer 9,5 buyers ?

Please note, the problem could also be that RF9,5 insists on installing on drive :c

I am also having problems getting the Interlink DX to be noticed by my computer. I tried downloading a new driver. I tried going to STEAM properties and disable. Nothing is working. In STEAM it says it is playing but you cannot play. Try launching from Desktop, I get an error saying to insert controller. Nothing works.

I heard some say to install RealFlight on to my c:. How do you do that? I do not have a DVD that came with the package. It automatically downloads to STEAM. This sucks, I have been playing around with this trying to get it to work and so far nothing. STEAM says I have played it for an our yet I have not. I hit the play button on STEAM and it says it is playing.

If you have installed Steam to the C: drive then Realflight will automatically be installed to C: by default.

If not you can create additional installation paths in Steam. I have four such target paths on my machine and can choose from any when I hit install.

See the Steam settings...

Excellent feedback from all of you.
I shall take these suggestions into consideration during the installation.
Many thanks.

We are also desperately trying to solve the issue of getting the controller to work....we paid alot of $$$ for something that is giving me the sh*ts...all we want to do is use it! Shouldn't be this hard. We have also try to install driver, used a port hub...seriously people. If you are going to make a program like this, make sure people are going to be able to use it! Any other solutions friends?????

I had problems until I connected the InterLink DX to a powered USB hub (ie that had external power).

When i tried to run RealFlight 9.5s, I was getting a message
=> Please connect a RealFlight controller device or Windows joystick.
=> If you have a RealFlight Wired Interface, please make sure your radio is connected and powered on.
=> If your controller is plugged in, please refer to pinned posts .....

I also noticed in device manager, that I had a device that was

=> Unknown USB Device (Device Description Request Failed)

What I did was -
1 - plugged the Interlink DX into a POWERED USB hub
It did the rest for me, and when having waited 15 seconds i pressed retry, to run RealFlight 9.5s, it was all working.

You may have to also do the following in device manager
A - click on the Unknown Device
B - uninstall the device from device manager
C - scan for hardware changes
