I would like to see how my joystick and pedal axis’ behave during playing. Sometimes there can be calibration or jitter problem. We have this in dcs world and it is very useful.

hi guy, so I don’t think we can see the axes in motion during the game (except to calibrate them) but I put the games on pause … otherwise try this → Start / Settings / Peripherals / (on your right) Peripherals and printers / Right click on your peripherals / Game controllers settings / select your joystick and properties, you should have a window with all buttons and axes, maybe it can help you.
Thank you for reply but I want to see real-time reactions.
In the video, please look at the upper left section. You will see it
Yeah I see, just the actions I explained to you above open a window where you can see these details … you tried?
There is an add-on that you can use to view the controls called “Input Viewer”.
It is here:

But I can’t see why this cannot be build-in into MSFS.
I miss the feedback of the controller output in the setup menu.
Fine tuning the controller with the curve is difficult when there is no feedback from the controller visible on the curve. In MSFS2020 there was a feedback of the controller on the curve.

Controller setup MSFS2024
Please can you make changes to the setup menu so there is also a feedback in MSFS2024 setup menu?
Problem
When assigning or reviewing control bindings in the Controls menu, the current interface often cuts off the text and does not visually indicate which button/axis is being referenced on the controller diagram. Users are forced to hover over each binding individually to confirm what control it corresponds to via scrolling.. This is especially cumbersome on complex devices with many buttons (e.g., Thrustmaster T.16000M, Honeycomb, Logitech). They also may not know what button “Button 5” is for example.
Why it Matters
-
Flight simmers rely on accurate bindings across multiple devices with dozens of inputs.
-
The lack of clear visual feedback makes setup slow, confusing, and error-prone.
-
It increases frustration when trying to troubleshoot conflicts or optimize control layouts.
-
Rookies are pretty much clueless to how the defaults are mapped out and need assistance.
Proposed Solution
-
Highlight the control on the diagram: When hovering over a binding in the list, the corresponding button/axis should light up directly on the controller diagram.
-
Show full text for bindings: Ensure that control labels are not cut off, or provide an always-visible full label.
-
Reverse lookup option: Clicking a button on the controller diagram should highlight the corresponding binding in the list.
Benefits
-
Faster, more intuitive control setup.
-
Reduces trial-and-error and frustration.
-
Brings MSFS in line with best practices in UI/UX by providing immediate visual feedback.
