Just change options-camera-freelook speed to something low. Same for freelook momentum.

I tried that. The lowest setting is 10 and that stops movement all together. Even setting the freelook speed to 11 AND setting the mouse’s axis sensitivty to 50% makes no difference.

Worked for me on PC. Must be something janky with Xbox. Maybe someone with a console can chime in.

• Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• Can confirm the mouse seems to wiz and accelerate too fast in freelook much faster than in MSFS2020. I tried with a variety of mouse speeds in accessibility, mouse acceleration at minimum, mouse momentum at minimum, and various mouse speed settings in the cockpit camera settings pop up. Nothing seems to keep the mouse from accelerating erradically. Please use same speeds as MSFS2020 to make the transition easier for pilots making the switch to 2024.

I’m hitting the sack but had the same issue. I’m thinking I’ll look at the mouse settings in 2024 tomorrow and see if there’s a sensitivity setting on MSFS for it. Not sure atm but worth a shot.

Yes, exactly the same here on Xbox X, basically stops me from using MSFS 2024 at all. I use the mouse for looking around and interacting with the cockpit. At setting 10 nothing moves at 11 freelook goes wild

Doesn’t work
