Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) - We're really sorry about Microsoft Flight

I have no idea how to control the menus in the Xbox Series X version.

Apparently the game is “Play Anywhere”, so it downloaded my PC profile and progress. And maybe controls? Is that why I can’t actually seem to change anything in the menus? I tried changing the color of the menus from default. The screen shows a Right Thumbstick symbol, but pressing the right thumbstick or turning it left and right does nothing to change the menu selection. Neither does doing anything else on the controller.

So I went into the controls menu. Maybe I can find an answer there. Well, it shows me controller configuration, but I can’t actually do anything on that page. None of the thumbsticks or buttons do anything. So, what, I just can’t get to any of the menus on Xbox? Do I have to hook up the mouse to the Xbox? What ridiculousness is this?

Anyway, back to the PC version, I suppose.
