Same issue. Patch fails and skins aren't available. I'm also having additional problems since the WINDOWS update...
1) AH recognizes BOTH the Thrustmaster virtual controller AND the Flight stick. This is creating a duality. It has assigned some default function to the Flight stick so now when I push a button I get the operation I programmed in the virtual controller and the autofilled default function from the flight stick.
2) my CH peripherals keep getting un-recognized. I boot they are there, a short time later they are not recognized. Un-plugging them and plugging them back in doesn't work. I re-boot and repeat.
So I'm out of action until I figure this all out.
