I was trying to bind the default drone commands to my xbox one controller (Im on pc) for about an hour now and after the 4th crash gave up eventually. The game randomly crashes to desktop when navigating through control settings. I usually never experience crashes but changing controls has always been a danger zone for me, thats why only after 4 years I decided to bind the drone camera to my controller. unfortunately this is still not possible if you dont want to spend your whole saturday evening binding 7-8 simple bindings to a controller.

In my observations, an unstable or underpowered USB connection can cause CTDs. How is your controller connected?
I use two powered USB hubs for my peripherals, and still sometimes have CTDs when I’m swiping my Stream Deck, as an example.
Do you have a second XBox controller that you could try, just to rule that out?
No, I dont. Yes this has been a problem since 2020 and usually when plugging or unplugging usb while the sim is running also leads to a crash. great they never fixed this.
I’m on PC and fly exclusively VR and CTDs while in the MSFS Control Menu is absolutely my #1 stability issue in the game. Almost all of my crashes anymore are while in the control menu. My guess is stress on XBox and stress by VR are both causing issues. But as you said, it’s been going on for a heck of a long time and still no better. Guess we wait til 2024 version - hopefully fully re-written.
I have no idea. I can not change any control settings anymore without random crashes. I have only my mouse and keyboard connected. I tried with several hardware and several usb inputs… as soon as I try to change a binding, the sim crashes…
There is this checklist, but make sure you understand the caution!
doesnt work as the sim is not detected under manage games. also I dont really want to delete all settings. I just want to bind some to a joystick thats all. cant be that hard?
I was also getting crashes when trying to save the settings, but since moving to sim update 3 beta everything is working fine, it might be worth a try.
IMHO the menu system ALONE has been responsible for more than 50% of my CTDs.
