By contrast, XPlane 12 is far simpler.
Each profile contains: all commands for all peripherals
For example, one profile called “X1000” that contains all the above:
“A (1+3), B (1+2), C (1+2+3), D(1)”
The types 1, 2 and 3 disappear to become “all commands”
Note: MSFS is theoretically more flexible, but adds significant additional complexity.
However in XP you can still achieve whatever you want for each plane.
PS:
Other scary stats, there are 327 keyboard shortcuts in MSFS 2024.
Spilt this way:
Camera 141
DEV 51
Tools 23
Airplane 112
