That’s the thing with change. Until you get used to it, it’s often a burden. After you get used to it, it’s sometimes an improvement. And in most cases it just doesn’t really matter anymore.
But I get it. While the controller setup wasn’t a problem for me, I’m not good with initial change at all and some of the changes in MSFS2024 also made me cringe and stay in my MSFS2020-comfort-zone
