How to Restore MSFS2020 Keyboard Bindings in MSFS2024

Hello, All,

I recently installed MSFS2024 and noticed that there is an option in the Controls section to use the MSFS2020 Keyboard bindings (“Keyboard 2020 Transversal” and “Keyboard 2020 Planes”) that I was familiar with already.

I made the mistake of renaming these MSFS2020 bindings to something else (instead of creating a duplicate first and renaming it) and now those MSFS2020 bindings are not there anymore.

I did some research and saw a CMD prompt that reads as follows:

start shell:appsFolder\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe! App -DeleteCloudSaves

This command is supposed to delete all the custom bindings, which is OK for me as I want to start over anyway. But will it bring back the MSFS2020 Keyboard bindings (noted above) that I inadvertently deleted when in MSFS2024?

If this topic is already resolved somewhere else, please point me in the right direction, as I did not anything like this in the Forums.

Thank you,

Mark

You can’t rename default profiles - they’re locked.

Use the arrows in the Controls section, and the Keyboard 2020 profile should appear.

Ok, well they may be locked as you say, but I don’t see the Keyboard 2020 Transversal option anymore when using the arrow keys, hence my problem.

Make sure you’ve definitely selected Keyboard and not a joystick; the Keyboard 2020 Transversal profile only shows up when the keyboard is selected.
I know it might sound funny, but sometimes people accidentally select a different device and then look for a profile there.

I will check that and get back to you.

Instead of creating a new post. How come if I choose the keyboard for 2020 in 2024 the keys still don’t function as they do in 2020. Any recommended ways to fix that?

OK, so I did check and you are correct - the Keyboard control now shows the “Keyboard 2020 Transversal” setting. Thank you for that.

As a footnote, is there such a thing as a “Mouse 2020 Transversal” profile? This I do not see and I wonder if the Mouse 2024 Transversal setting will be the same as to what I had in MSFS2020. BTW, I did not change any of the default settings in MSFS2020; I simply used the mouse bindings “as is”.

Thank you agian for your help.

You’re welcome.
If my suggestion helped, please consider marking it as the solution. It may help someone else with a similar issue in the future.

There is no equivalent “Mouse 2020 Transversal” profile.
