What I like that is when a aircraft is selected the person has a option to go back to a default settings for a control like a flight yoke. Then when changes are make, they can save it to a new profile for that aircraft. When a second plane is selected a new profile is created for that, Different profiles are nice because some actions do not apply to a different plane, a twin engine to a single for example.
What I would like see happen when the plane is loaded for the flight, the profile that was setup for the plane would automatically load instead of the user going into the controls and select the correct profile.
This is how I assign actions to a plane and I save the profile name with the type of aircraft it is, DA62 for example.
Also I would like to know how to delete a profile for a device such as a yoke when I do not need it anymore
This is also an issue with the instrument views. I was flying a C172 a lot and had intrusment view 3 bound to a button so I could quickly see my throttle settings. When I moved up a to a C208 instrument view 3 is no longer the throttle quadrant but is the electric management panel the throttle quadrant is now instrument view 4.
It would be very helpful if the instrument view numbers could be standardiszed between planes big or small.
This to my mind is essential. How difficult can it be to save the control profiles for each aircraft and then load them the next time you fly that aircraft? X-Plane does it routinely.
Not sure how you tried this, but it does work. What to do is save a setup for each plane for each controller. If you donāt want to use a particular controller for a particular plane, then set up that controller as all unmapped for that plane and save that. Then when you switch a particular plane, just set all your controller profiles to the saved settings for that plane, and you are done.
Ok, now I got it. Oh man this solution is really not the best one. Changing the aircraft means a lot of adjustments/ changement in the controller(s) setup page. If you just use 1 controller ok that is no problem, but if you use multiple controllers it is too much work. A much more better solution is to asign the controller(s) to the plane profile. That means by choosing the aircraft the controller(s) setups will be loaded automatically with the plane. I am sad with the MSFS solution. Just too complicate and tedious. The X-Plane controller setup is much easier/ better.
I agreeā¦ much easier in X-plane. It should not be that hard for them to change the code so that it remembers which controller setup goes with which plane. I believe this should already be included. I wish this could get voted high enough for them to take a look at changing this:) Please give this a wish list vote up top if you read this.
I permit myself to up this topic, since the actual controller settings is very limiting and tedious when you fly different planes all the time.
The best would be a DCS-like control menu, for now I havenāt seen anything better than what DCS does in terms of easy to use and possibilities with the mappings, modifiers and aircraft list.
Having different mappings for each planes separatly is a MUST Iām surprised this topic isnāt raised more than that
the way x-plane does it is fabulousā¦simple, effectiveā¦per aircraft configurations with the ability to create a new config for an aircraft based on a config for an already existing oneā¦default to start with, then whatever youāve created otherwiseā¦
I use a Warthog HOTAS and in most cases the left and right throttle are used for engine 1 and (if present) engine 2. However, when flying the 747, because I donāt have 4 throttle axes, Iād prefer to just adjust all 4 throttles on one axis, which I would like the sim to remember.
I can do this in X-plane and would love to see a similar control profile scheme here in MSFS.
Thanks FSEindhoven, however mapping the control isnāt the issue. The wish is aircraft specific profiles that would negate the need to unmap and remap the controls when flying a different aircraft.
As a simple example, I have to change throttle profiles going from a single engine to a twin. Would be nice to have an option somewhere to save this per aircraft. Would be even more useful for those with more hardware (yoke, stick, airbus specific throttle).
Consider renaming each peripheral setting by the planeās name? Then before flying in a different plane go and use that planeās peripherals.
When I move away from the TBM shortly, I will be doing that. Select the defaults for that peripheral, it will prompt you for a new name upon changes, then name it to CJ4.
Iāve already done that, got multiple profiles setup. Point is to then be able to save that to the plane, so you donāt have go in and change the profile when you select a new plane, youāve already set it.
