I can't connect to the controller

[ggou945]

In the steam settings, I clearly saw that the PS5 controller was connected, but as soon as I entered the game, it said that the controller cannot be detected. I also changed to a different controller, but still couldn't solve the problem.
I hope someone knows what the problem is. There was no problem with the connection yesterday. I re-downloaded the game today but the problem was not solved.

You could try this; open Steam settings -> Controller -> Playstation Controller Support. Set this to "Not enabled". This helped me in a situation where I had a PS4 controller which X-Plane would not recognize.

EDIT: If you play other games on Steam with that controller don't forget to change the setting back as it was.

There should be no problem on the steam side. The joystick shows that it is not detected.

You could at least try my solution, as it solved the issue for me and it sounds like you are having if not exactly the same problem, at least an extremely similar one ("no flight controls found" where you should be seeing joystick controls). I spent some time searching for a solution and read somewhere (quite possibly a reddit thread) that it's Steam messing with how XPlane sees the controller with PS controller support enabled, will try to find a link for you.
