BlackWidow Joystick Issues [FIXED]
When trying to play FSX with my BlackWidow SL-6640-SBK FSX doesn't even start, it just crashes. When playing without it plugged in it works fine. When the missions have started and I plug my joystick in it just stops all together and crashes. Can you help me with this issue and help me get flying with my joystick?

I uninstalled all the drivers to do with the joystick and just use the Windows drivers. It works this way but be warned that the vibration no longer works (that comes part of the BlackWidow drivers). Hope this helps.

What do you mean use Windows drivers? Is it already active in windows? I have the same problem.

Windows can access generic input devices. You can add joystick via "Devices and Printers" or, if it's a USB device, Windows will try to add it as generic controller if you don't install any drivers. You can then calibrate it manually with Game Controllers window.
