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?…

Coming from another flightsim is always a difference. You come with familiarization and expectation and then it looks different. When I came from P3D to DCS it was so and then to MSFS it was so again. I found XP quite weird as well. But I have to agree. MSFS‘s UI is just bad, all above the controls…

There are many external tools making control setup easier and more flexible. I use Axis and Ohs, but there are many more.

jup, it’s a matter of preference, I use AAO, too, but others are good as well.

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…

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…
