Please add the msfs-2020 or msfs-2024 tag to your post, depending on which sim your post is about.
Hello simmers.
Having issues setting up bindings on MSFS 2024.
Need assistance please.

You have to adjust it in the control settings of the simulator.
Setting up the controlls in msfs24 is really hard, beacsue when every you try and make a new bind it want you to create a new profile. As a side note do you have msfs2020 and do you have you hotas one setup in there becasue that will help if you do.
If you do have it set up just open the 2020, and use search input to see what each controll input does, and rember the bind and name of the input. then open up 2024and type in tey name of the controll and create a new profile and set the bind to it.
If you dont have 2020 or dont want to use the controlls, just set the hotas as deafault then you can go and change what you want to specifc binds. I hope this helps.
Hello shot. Yes I have MSFS 2020! Love it.
Using TM Hotas One. All the bindings work very well! Trying to setup 2024, nothing seems to work right.

One thing that usually helps in 2024 is to start from a clean profile instead of trying to repair the default one. Go into Controls, select the HOTAS, create a new profile, then use Search by input and move each axis/button to see what the sim is seeing. Do the axes first: aileron, elevator, rudder if you use the rocker, and throttle. Then clear any duplicate bindings that appear on keyboard/controller for the same function.
Also check that the throttle is bound to the axis command, not the increase/decrease throttle buttons. That one catches people because it can look assigned but behave wrong in the cockpit.
If your 2020 profile works well, I would keep it open or take screenshots and rebuild the same logic in 2024. I would not import random profiles until the basic axes are behaving correctly.
Hello Andreas.
Thank you very much. Will try to take screen shot first. If that doesn’t work will do it from scratch!

Yes, I just upgraded to this controller and have certain problems with the profiles. Seems like the often do not save.
Started from their default and deleted bindings and maybe that was not the way to go but it seemed to work 90% out of the box.
I also do not understand how the aircraft specific binding are supposed to work. Again they do not seem to last for me.
That’s exactly why I try not to edit the default profile too much. In 2024 I would make a separate named HOTAS profile first, then bind only the basics and test them in a simple aircraft before doing anything aircraft-specific.
For the aircraft-specific part, I would treat it more like separate profiles you select for that aircraft than a magic layer that always follows you. If it looks as if settings are not sticking, check after saving that the active profile name is still your custom one and that the axis is not also bound on another device. Duplicate bindings can make it feel as if the profile did not save, when really another device or profile is fighting it.
Not very elegant, but building it in small steps is less painful than trying to clean up a half-working default profile.
I eventually read the manual (Duh) and you can use one common profile (edited from the initial) BUT you have to do it for every plane in Settings and SAVE for every plane. The Trim setting has 12 duplications in the default (6 for up and 6 for down). I use pretty much 7 planes so that is a lot of editing avoided with a common fix. The only other one I did was the propeller reverse for the C-208 (Caravan) bound to the big button on the throttle. Oh, one more, I am not happy with what I did with the parking brake that is two keys. More work but if I fix this in that profile, fixed for all 7 planes (I hope).
PS On some planes that engine cuts out when you pull the throttle back completely (Kit Fox) and sometimes the 208.
PPS I also bound a lean mixture button for the C-208.
That sounds about right. I usually try to keep one clean base profile and then only make aircraft-specific copies when something really needs it, otherwise it gets messy very quickly.
For things like trim, mixture, reverse, parking brake, etc., I’d also rather clear the duplicated default bindings first and then add back only the controls I actually use. It takes a bit of time once, but it makes troubleshooting much easier later because you know which profile is doing what.
Ok. I’ve added you to my friends lists.
Hey, here’s a hidden button to add: “Back to Fly” on B5/15 for me now… fixes bad things happening… search on the name in settings… a bit of an Easter Egg.
Ok, Will try it.

Have had this weird thing where my plane will not move on runway and this cures it… Aussi Group Flight fix.
