WinCtrl WinwingDisplayControl.Exception after (today's) update to 11.1.0.1 (BETA) | MobiFlight | Page 1

Mobiflight notified me of an Update so I did. During the Update process it freezed and I had to kill the task manually.

Did a normal start after this and I was prompted to install the Mobiflight WASM Module what I also did.

During the startup process the typical Exception-Window appears stating the Details... that it couldn't connect with WinCtrl devices (see screeshot and text below).
Now my Throttle, AGP and Stick aren't recognised and cannot be found in Mobiflight's Controller Bindings. The ECAM-Control is found.
WinCtrl SimAppPro on the other hand has no problems to find my devices.

Did a restart and tried to reinstall via the installer but that didn't fixed it.
When trying to "Quit" and not "Continue" Mobiflight freezes again and I have to kill the task/process.

Text from the Details:

#

cool

#

give me a moment

#

i have to reproduce the issue on my end first.

#

FCU is working

#

Trying the AGP now

#

During the startup process the typical Exception-Window appears stating the Details... that it couldn't connect with WinCtrl devices (see screeshot and text below).

What does that even mean?

#

With "typical" I mean the window shown in the screenshot with the error-icon... it's "typical" for unhandled exceptions at program start of .NET applications 😉

shadow summit Jun 9, 2026, 7:16 PM

#

Ok... i thought you would see that during every start up

#

that would have been horrible 😄

#

what shall i say now... connected FCU and AGP and all working.

#

can you please share your project with me?

#

it seems to be happening when we are loading the project

boreal plank Jun 9, 2026, 7:18 PM

#

ok.. it happens with all my projects... just a mom...

#

"Jets" (coming in a sec) and "Fenix"...

#

SimAppPro has no problems finding the device(s)

shadow summit Jun 9, 2026, 7:23 PM

#

make sure simapppro is shut down.

boreal plank Jun 9, 2026, 7:23 PM

#

Yeah it is... just for clarification that the device is connected and found 🙂

#

try to never use SimAPpPro 😉

Simply follow the instructions

boreal plank Jun 9, 2026, 7:46 PM

#

Still no success

shadow summit Jun 9, 2026, 7:54 PM

#

it must have to do with the joystick

#

unplug it and it will work

boreal plank Jun 9, 2026, 7:58 PM

#

shadow summit unplug it and it will work

Yeah that did it... what a mess 😉

#

Will it work if I plug the joystick back again, after MF has been loaded and started?

#

BTW I started the updated version and not the PullRequest

shadow summit Jun 9, 2026, 8:08 PM

#

Ok. So hang on... what happens if you start the PR zip file with the Joystick?

#

It sill fails. ok

#

I just watched the video

boreal plank Jun 9, 2026, 8:11 PM

#
