I just watched the dev stream, lots of good info.
They’re rewriting the whole UI so I think they’ll be fixing a few of the issues which came to light in MSFS 2020, in addition to finally adding aircraft control presets.
In the meantime, there’s always ACP for MSFS 2020!
We need the option of having our peripherals and all the settings that come with it set for each plane saved into the planes configurations.
We get tired of having to go into the Controls Menu and choose all different peripherals we´re going to need for a specific plane.
See post above yours 
Honestly even if you only use it for a few months until you purchase 2024 (assuming that will even work as expected for this) it’s worth the price to save the agony!
I think this echoes and encapsulates my feelings towards FS 2020 in general. At some level it’s fantastic and a dream come true (especially to fly in VR), but I feel the user experience on the whole kinda spoils it and I don’t use it nearly as much as I would like. It’s hard enough with the physical hardware (setting up the yoke/quadrant/pedals), but that’s only half the battle.
At every step it feels like you have to fight through the UI/UX, starting with the downloads/updates which don’t happen in the background…I would be surprised if the UX designers used the simulator or watched people try and use it on a PC. I guess the UI is basically designed for a game controller as the first priority and that’s it…the “left/right” thing to select the profiles (and other places), tiny list boxes that have 4 items, the apparent inability to use the keyboard for much of it…
It feels like so much effort to get to the “fun part” (in the plane). I hope Asobo can treat that in general as a priority and not an afterthought, in 2024 at least. There are many quality-of-life improvements that would go a very long way. (For example, just start the world map with the most recent parameters! There’s already a reset button there, why make me fill everything out again?)
Agree entirely. The ironic, and frustrating, part is that -IMO - the “dream come true” part is the HARD part, and they’ve DONE that … the more mundane housekeeping and UI/UX aspects in which you’d think MS has some experience and expertise are the parts that need attention, that should be the simpler set of issues to address. Again IMO, with e.g. the views/cameras/replay (or not …) aspects, they started with some bad choices that seem now to locked in?
A bit off topic, I know, but these sorts of issues are why I’m going back more to XP12, with Auto-ortho and X-World … still not as pretty by a long way (though the actual aircraft models themselves I can often prefer TBH), but it just so much more … what? … elegant in its operation.
After three year and a half we have a lot of different devices configurations for each plane and every time a new plane is selected is necessary to manually select the proper saved profile.
Why do not create a link between plane and device profile in order to do not waste time or forget the change ?
I know we all want it as part of the base MSFS 2020 sim, but the reality is it’s not.
Afaik it looks like MSFS 2024 will inlcude a total rewrite of the UI, and will include solutions for UX issues like this.
You can, however, do all that now (and more) with Aircraft Manager for MSFS 2020 - Sonicviz
Just sayin’! Disclosure: Developer
I took a quick look at these tools that I didn’t know about and they seem interesting…I’ll try them this afternoon. Thank you
Ciao
Still open after 3 years, you definitely have my vote. It’s a shame that such a “simple” feature hasn’t been implemented yet, although it would improve the quality quite a bit
Its not going to happen in MSFS 2020, but confirmed it will be in MSFS 2024
I have set profiles in controls for 5 different aircraft with no issue.
Do you have to go to the Controls Settings page and manually switch from one profile to the other?
Yes you do, but its worth it!
Each time I Select the Aircraft I want to Fly, I have to Scroll Through All of My Control Setups for All the Aircraft I have, until I find the One Specific Setup that Goes with My Selected Aircraft!
Why can’t they be Linked Together so Each Custom Control Setup can Always be Linked to the Appropriate Aircraft??
Well, that is kind of what this whole thread is about is it not?
I suggest you read like 7 posts up, as there is a solution existing right now for your very wish.
Heck I have to switch/move controllers and brackets around. Yoke side stick center stick helicopter different throttles, then pick the control profile. Must have over 20. Xbox needs the pedals slaved to a controller so if I want to use the hotas I need the flightstick just to plug it into. Then using the tb throttle quad only with the flightstick….
We need the Sim to “auto_choose” the controls for any plane. Ex: I choose to fly my C152 I would like the sim to choose the controls that I´m using for the 152, if I change to a A320 I would like the Sim to AUTO_CHOOSE the controls to be used with that plane. “OTHERS” are doing that already. Thank you!
I think this is already planned. Spad.next already does this and thousands more things. Integral part of my flight simming.
Yes, that’s essential.
I use FSUIPC and everything can be set per aircraft. Even per livery. But I can also share settings for all aircraft or for just some. That’s what I want to see in 2024.
Moderators, you can close this wish as 2024 does have per-plane control profiles.
