Assigning controller settings to a specific aircraft (???)

Is it possible in MSFS to assign specific settings (own profiles) to a specific aircraft???
For example, when I get into the MD-82, I would like the appropriate profile of the VR controller, joystick, etc. to be loaded automatically.
So that I don’t have to change it every time in the equipment settings …

Not at this time sadly.
A quick search will find a wish list for this though.

I’ve heard that SPAD.Next can do that. But it’s payware, and seems somewhat difficult to use, due to its comprehensive abilities.

Maybe a veteran SPAD user can chime in.

There are plenty of preconfigured SPAD.neXt files in the internet (“Online Profiles”) which you can download into SPAD.neXt. No need to do the work yourself (except for a very exotic device). Some are for a complete controller (Saitek Pedals etc.) and some are for single buttons/axis only.

Another solution is the recent Aircraft Manager. There is a free trial available.

Plus, I think Lorby’s Axis and Ohs should be able to do this, too. While both of the first ones work for me, I never tried the latter myself, though.

Thank you all for your helpful advice. I’ll take a look at Aircraft Manager because it looks simple and has exactly what I need.
Configuring peripherals in MSFS is a killer (compared to other sims) :wink:

I looked at Aircraft Manager. It looks like you still have to create individual profiles in MSFS. The manager allows you to then assign presets to an aircraft. That’s certainly useful.
