EFB not working with xbox controller

msfs-2024 The EFB on the xbox controller is not working. Is this a bug? When will this be fixed? It is really ridiculous to use a mouse on the console just to use the EFB.

Hello,

Depends on what you mean by “not working.” Here are two bug reports. Do either of them match your situation?

 

(By the way, the best place to ask this question would be User Support Hub > User Interface & Activities or User Support Hub > Hardware & Peripherals . You can move your own post by editing the topic with the :pencil: icon next to your name.)

Moved to User Support Hub > User Interface & Activities that is more appropriate for community support.

Same problem here. With SU 2 you can’t select anything on the EFB tablet. Completely unusable.

Yep this is a known bug and still present in 1.5.2.0 Sim Update 3 beta. There are two workarounds that may or may not be options for you:

  • Stick to aircraft (like the Asobo Cessna 172) that have the EFB modeled in the virtual cockpit, as the controller cursor will work on the EFB screen in that context
  • Use a USB mouse as a traditional mouse cursor can interact with the EFB in all states (popout or virtual cockpit) even on Xbox
