Real Flight can't see wired controller

[mikemyersgln]

Installation has not been easy---was able to do about half of calibration of controller but not all; then puker started with general resets (Windows Updates, transition to Windows 11 etc) and now when I open Real Flight, it can't see the Real Flight controller I purchased as part of the Real Flikght 9.5 S package

Same with me. Windows recognizes the InterLinkDX controler but the game doesn't. When trying to start the game there comes an error message. It claims that there is no controler and I should plug in a controler even though the InterLink is plugged in via USB. Anyone any idea?

[kandacom]

this is how I did it.

1 installed rf9.5s from steam.
2 plugged interlink DX into usb it installed automatically
3 Calibrated interlink DX controller
4 started rf9.5s
5 Fly

have fun!

Issue solved. In my case, the solution was to use a powered usb hub for the interlink DX. Nothing else helped. My usb poort in the laptop was not supplying enough electricity.

Same situation trying to use the supplied Interlink DX controller. Tried all known fixes ( Steam Setting, Powered USB Hub . Any fix for this yet ? Horizon says an update will be coming in future. In the mean time I am able to use my Interlink X from RF8.

Does the DX appear in "Printers and Devices"?

The game doesn't start and display error about InterLinkDX not connected ( but i have tried to connect it in all my USB port).
Please solve urgently the problem

Hello,
I have the same problem with the Spektrum InterLink.DX that comes with RF9.5. Whether on RF9.5S or AeroFly RC 8 (Windows announces a USB interface error) on my Laptop DELL G15 (Gamer).
According to the used game, RF 9.5 does not launch and AeroFly 8 does not recognize the controller.
Waiting for a solution, I am using RC Flight Controller - IKARUS. It works perfectly on these 2 flight simulator games.

Fred the issue in this case is with your Laptop.

It is likely that the USB port is not putting out enough power to correctly power the InterLink Electronics.

If it were to provide adequate power the Interlink will show up on "Devices and Printers" as an Interlink DX controller.

I suggest that you purchase an externally powered USB hub that can sit between the Interlink and computer to provide power to the Interlink. You'll need a hub that provides it's own separate power supply. These are fairly cheap.

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

Bonjour,
Merci pour ces conseils. J'irai acheter un concentrateur USB, et j'essaierai à nouveau.
Merci beaucoup

Hello,
Thanks for these tips. I'll go buy a USB hub, and I'll try again.
thank you very much
Fred
