That is strange, because I’m using a Thrustmaster joystick with the sim. It has this software that allows to create profiles for the joystick where joystick buttons send keyboard shortcuts to the game. It works no problem with the FS 2020.
You are not running MT Pro with Administrative Privileges are you? If so, you should not be. I’m baffled as why it would be sending to text editor and not to FS. When you send keystrokes from your joystick, do you have FS focused or does it matter? Maybe in this case the hotkeys are global and FS does not need to be focused. It is important the MT Pro is NOT focused however.
Hi, I got to thinking, your Thrustmaster joystick if processing keystrokes may be interfering with MT Pro. Try de-installing or disabling the driver temporarily to see if this is what is happening.
I've had Logitech Mouse drivers that have injected themselves in the past which was interfering with keystroke manipulation of other Windows programs. In my case, it was causing AutoHotKey keystrokes to not work when the mouse enhanced driver from Logitech was installed.
Unfortunately if this is the case, you would have to go to Thurstmaster for a fix or decide on which driver to stick with.
