MSFS 2024 Controls Reset to Defaults

The other settings categories (General, Assistances, etc) all have a “Reset to Defaults” button. However, the Controls category doesn’t.

While learning how to configure the controls with the new system, I made a mess and even managed to somehow delete one of the default profiles for one controller. It would be helpful to have a “Reset to Defaults” for the Controls category as well.

Please add a “Reset to Defaults” button to the Controls settings.

Same here. I am considering uninstalling the whole sim, but I’m terrified that I’ll be in the 97% club again.

That doesn’t help, because all the controller configurations including your changes are saved in the cloud, and will be streamed back on each simulator start.

Hi, And I just accidently created 4 references to my joystick in the Device list. No clue how I accomplished this and no clue how to delete them. None of them seem to work now. I was watching YOUTUBEs on how to dial in key bindings and boom. Agree that they are in the cloud so I filled out a Zen Desk ticket to start from scratch. I’ve been simming since BA Sublogic FS and never had this issue - bummer. Glad my 2020 is performing 100%.

My Esc key does not function any more. I did some changes to a few buttons. These runs perfectly. But suddenly I can no logner abort or reset a flight, but have to restart the game. The Esc is ok until I have started a new flight. But no flight can be terminated.

I had this problem too on Xbox. A console reboot fixed it.

We need the ability to totally reset controllers and also be able to clear the asignments that the sim sets, which I don’t want

They are stubborn to learn from other sims. DCSW and xplane have so many good things to be picked up from yet we still have no Force Trim Button, and Trim Cyclic left and right are called increase/decrease lateral trim…
DCSW has a very good scheme for resetting the controls… you can reset a category, or just one controller in that category, you can empty them the same way or return just one control to default assignment if you wish.
MSFS2024 is really simplistic and is due to too much catering to xbox folx that never ever look at controls anyway.

I’m in the same boat or plane.
Somehow, during the setup, I accidentally deleted the key binding for keyboard 2024. As a result, all my interactions are broken, and I don’t know how to revert it.

Hello,
I found in a video the access to some aircraft controllers in the folder c:\users\yourname\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\WASM\MSFS2024\microsoft-aircraft-a310-300\work\ThrottleData.ini and this for each aircraft
This may help.

Have the same problem.
I want to do it all over.
I learnd from YouTube video’s.
Now like to do it al over again.

Don’t know how it happened, but all my control setting were overwritten after I tried to set new helicopter bindings. How to clean that up and set everything to default?
