Hey all,
Ever since upgrading from Windows 7, I could no longer use my old USB Easy Commander RC controller made by Ikarus (model #3015010) and sold with their Easyfly simulator.
Windows would throw an error message: "Unknown USB Device (Device Failed Enumeration)"
Although options exist to connect a real controller to the sim, I always liked the idea of having this easy controller within reach to scratch the RC urge in the winter months.
By coincidence, I came across this blogpost that describes how to make the old controller work in Windows 10/11.
Solution by Kannekens
The blogpost explains how to add a SkipBOSDescriptorQuery binary value of 01 00 00 00 to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\040204022273 in regedit.exe.
Steps
- Open regedit.exe.
- Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\.
- If 040204022273 does not exist, create it.
- Inside that folder, create a new Binary Value named SkipBOSDescriptorQuery.
- Set the value to 01 00 00 00. (Alternatively, you can try the value 10 as well)
- Restart your PC.
Putting this here as it might help others too.
Regards,
Sylvain
