You can use the mouse while the flight stick is active, and you should have the flight stick connected before starting the game. Navigating menus in Star Wars: Squadrons can be difficult with a flight stick therefore, it's easier to use a mouse and keyboard to get where you need to go.
The update should commence, and once it tells you the update was successful, you can simply close the box (see picture above). Alternatively, the path to this program (for me) was: 'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Thrustmaster TM Flight Series.'Ĭlick the Firmware Update program while still having your stick plugged in, and click OK. Click the Windows search bar and type 'Firmware Update,' which should show an option to click a program with the Thrustmaster logo.
