Same setup as you. What do you mean by “controller window comes up”?
You don’t need to select it as such in the menu. If it’s listed then it’s working. I use the controller and the hotas one together though the controller is just for ground manoeuvring and camera movement
When i click on fly, the controller option comes back up i click on Hotas it feverts to xbox controller Im in the process of reinstalling FSM so I will see if that fixed it
Hello again. Sorry to hear of problem. I’ve added you, so maybe we can work on it together. Hopefully you get a mic soon!
Turtle Beach has a nice one, about $70.00

You may need to create a default profile. Check options at the bottom if the control options page, select hotas 1, duplicate profile, add bindings and save. Then reset sim. Leave hotas plugged into usb port, restart sim and enter control options, select hotas and check profile has saved correctly
I hate to say it, but with the intermittent connection issue sounds like it could be a cable kink or cable issue. It will be hard to diagnose as the cable is not replaceable/swappable. Make sure the connections are clean, and feel out the cable for any bumps/kinks. Try another usb bus/port. Good luck! 
Thanks for all the replies. After I uninstalled then reinstalled, I thought that would probably fix this. But it didn’t. So I disconnected the long cable and plugged the Hotas directly into the Xbox. It seemed to work until I tried again the next day. Nope…short cable or long cable I can’t make Hotas the default controller…no matter what I try it always goes to the Xbox controller.
Frustration continues.
This confuses me.
Could you screenshot this?
I’ve never seen a dialog box appear for a controller choice when clicking Fly.
The “it defaults to the Xbox controller” is also odd wording.
Why?
Because when you have multiple peripherals — Xbox controller, yoke/stick, throttle quadrant, mouse, keyboard, etc. — they are all active at once, meaning there is no default peripheral.
If you have the Xbox controller setup to control the aircraft control surfaces (elevators, ailerons, rudder) and you have a yoke/stick to control those surfaces, either peripheral will control those surfaces. Pick up the Xbox controller and move the stick — the ailerons and elevators will move. Put down the controller and move the yoke/stick — the ailerons and elevators will move. (Note: it’s never a good idea to have two active peripherals sharing the same controls, but I’m using this to illustrate my point.)
I’d like to see these very screens/dialog boxes you’re being presented with to understand what you’re seeing here.
I’m brand new to MSFS2020 after being a devotee of a.n.other sim that makes military planes. I am struggling big time with settings and views but that will come with time. At present I can’t get the A320neo NW steering to operate correctly. Initially I thought it was merely to steer with the rudder (axis-z) and nws/anti skid selected on; when trying to taxi the aircraft barely turned. After googling the problem I found that the nws pedal disconnect needed to be turned on, this didn’t help. In fact the aircraft either veers in the opposite direction to the rudder input and then goes the right way or it continues to veer in the opposite direction to the rudder continuously. Further searching suggested binding the Miscellaneous option “Set Steering” to the rudder. Trying to do this is where I have the problem. The rudder is set on the T.Flight Hotas X as Joystick R-Axis Z with a reverse axis tick box that is checked. When I go to Miscellaneous “Set Steering” there is not the reverse axis option and the available inputs are Joystick L - Axis Z, Joystick L - Axis Z-, Joystick L - Axis Z+, and the same for Joystick R. Plus the fact that there are two boxes next to the Set Steering setting. Also there are options under Miscellaneous for “Increase/Decrease steering” and “Set NWS to Limit”. I am totally confused , how do you set up the NWS on the Hotas X?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Hello Everyone !
I too am having issues with my brand new out of the box HOTAS MSFS 2024 edition , When I twist my Z axis to the right , the rudder responds correctly and moved slowly as I am slowly turning the Z axis to the right. However I get pretty much no movement to the left side , I have to go all the way to the stop point while turning left and then apply pressure to get the rudder to commit all the way left , making taxi’ing extremely difficult as I can turn right no problem but almost impossible to turn left on the ground. Any tips ?
PS I am on PC playing through steam
Thanks !
I had issues with the rudder and throttle, try deleting existing buttons/stick and then reset them.
For some reason the rudder was set to my z axis and my throttle, so the whole plane was turning because of the throttle!
I had the same issues，how you reset the settings?thank you~
How to setup throttle in helos in fs2024?
Hello Nick.
I figured out the throttle. Need to go to the throttle setting, delete everything. Then click next to throttle axis, make sure throttle is closed. Then advance throttle.
Hopefully that works for you. Let me know.

Hi all. I am a newbie here and I am not sure if this is where I should be asking my question but here it goes. I am new to xbox x and to Flight Simulator 2024. I also bought a Thrustmaster Hotas one yoke. 2 Problems, one the yoke is reversed so my elevator goes up when I push the yoke forward and down when I pull back on it. This makes the flight very confusing. Also I need to reduce the sensitivity of the axis’s. I can get to the screen where is can select the axis to adjust but cannot go to the right of the screen to reduce the sensitivity on any of the axis’s. What’s the trick here. Are these adjustments even available to make from within the 2024 simm? Any help will be appreciated.
Hello Dennleo5010.
Welcome to MSFS 2024.
I had same issue. Go to settings, control. Find elevator control, click on wheel to the right, click reverse.
Add me if you like.

Anyone have rudder (stick twist) issues with this controller? I have rapid uncommanded signal spikes which make the rudder pedals twitch. I have increase the dead spot but it affects flying and is annoying. Even when attempting to assign a button to the stick the erroneous signals triggers the axis so it makes it difficult to assign. Twisting the stick repeatedly stops this from happening briefly. I have resorted to using the rocker on the throttle for the rudder.
I had this too and taxiing any plane was a nightmare twitching everywhere and having to counter it with my pedals.
Underneath the joystick there is a little black screw you turn 90 degrees which locks the twist function on the joystick, which stopped the rudder twitching; other than that I couldn’t find any other work around to stop it.
I’m still waiting on a definitive answer for sensitivity and deadzone settings as I can’t for the life of me get it to be like it was in MSFS2020.
