Windows 10: WIN 10 :Game and Joystick will not work together.

Combat Flight simulator, XP Version, boots and runs well with the keyboard and Sidewinder precision pro Joystick runs and is recognized by Win 10.

However the game will not recognize the joystick although this joy stick was designed for this program. Everything worked well on XP.
