I fly both FS2020 and X Plane. Yesterday I had to adjust some control settings in both. While it took me only a couple of minutes to redo some control settings in X Plane it took forever in FS2020. Why is it that the people who design software for FS2020 have to make it so hard to setup controllers?…

On the other hand, I re-mapped the MSFS keyboard to look more like XP. For example, I find the Numpad key arrangement for cockpit quick look directions to be more intuitive than Ctrl Shift 0-9 to look (and Ctrl Alt 0-9 to store). Just personal preference. Thanks for the link to MSFS controls li…

Someone was kind enough to post a PDF here. [image] [REFERENCE] Keyboard Shortcuts Guide Community Guides I designed this PDF document to have the keyboard shortcuts on a single recto/verso sheet with the camera controls grouped on one page keyboard_util.pdf (80.1 KB) ke…

The Xplane interface is better in some ways and you certainly see more choices with what Austin gives you right out of the box. That said, I still have not been able to get the lights on the HC Bravo to work correctly and fugghetabbout the AP dials😃 But MSFS is certainly not stellar in the way it’…

easpeccially as a ‘new’ simmer it’s crazy and very difficult to set it all up. Esp for different planes. But perhaps manufactorers can also help a bit to have custum setups for the big sims.

All - Been flying in FS Sims since 95, up till this one setting up flight controls was a snap. MSFS 2020 is a well, cannot talk that way on this forum. One day MSFS lost my settings for my Virpil devices, it took me 3 days just to get my flaps working on all the planes. That is not easy, nor user…

[image] SeedyL3205: If your specific product doesn’t have default control mappings, you can search the controls menu by function and then map each individual control Even if not too difficult, I did find it baffling that MSFS does not have a generic joystick profile that would work on everyth…

Well I have two WinWing controllers for flying helicopters. They are recognized by FS2020 BUT there seems to be a discord between what they are supposed to do and what they can do. For instance. I cannot get the throttle on the collective to work in FS2020 although it works just fine in XPLANE 11 a…

Just curious. Are you trying to fly the HYPE H145 ? There is no manual throttle.

This claim: MSFS has default profiles for most popular devices, so generally very minimal setup is required out of the box. is false – my joystick (Thrustmaster HOTAS X), and I suspect many others, is recognized but has NO default bindings. In addition, the binding setup behaved very oddly and …

Setting up flight controls is such a chore
