VERY IMPORTANT:
The default hotkey is SHIFT+C to toggle between walkaround and cockpit.
BUUUTTTTT!!!
The MSFS 2024 has 2 different sets of default keybindings. SHIFT+C only works, if you have the 2024 transversal keyboard layout selected. If you have the 2020 transversal keyboard layout selected, then NO hotkey is assigned to this function. You would have to bind it. The function would be called something like “control character” (i have the german client and can not say that 100% for sure). If you dont find it, just switch to 2024 transversal layout and use the search by input funtion and press shift+c. then you should only see the respective keybind and its naming.
I have bound take control of character to P but it will not allow me to enter for the familiarisation flight. The door toggle pin has a yellow dot and I cannot enter…
This all fine and well if you are pc and or have keyboard, but what about the xbox x controller? Anyone got a fixaround for that? Would be seriously helpful.
OK. So getting into the cockpit from the ground is done by hitting SHIFT C (this needs to be optional. I prefer starting in the cockpit, but I digress)
If I have my keyboard set up as default 2020, the SHIFT C doesn’t work. What now?
Manually add SHIFT+C (or your hot key(s) of choice) to the take control of character binding? The option should still be there even if it’s not bound to anything with the 2020 default.
Thats odd. Have you checked in the bindings if it is really bound (maybe your profile is bugged) Filter for “character”. What aircraft are you trying or is it not working for all aircraft?
Yes. Binding is set to Shift + C. I am pretty sure that the keyboard layout is set to „2024 transversal keyboard“
Are you JayDee - the German streamer ?
If yes , you probably understand German.
In the last Tech Alpa it had worked fine, in which I had participated
Yes I am the JayDee from Youtube. I tested it for fenix - it works for me, with Shift+C. Have you checked for double bindings? Maybe Shift-C is bound to something else, which is interfering? Besides that I have no further Ideas.
I have to use LEFT shift + C. Using the right shift + C does not work. I am using their default 2024 binding. I’d say it German but all I know is lenks und rechts. Ha ha.
