I bought the (crazy pricey) Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, and do not see support for mapping the four rear buttons.
I am able to map the buttons to A/B/X/Y or anything else on the controller. However, I want to leave them unmapped in the Xbox Accessories utility, and subsequently map them in FS2020 to ex. Flaps or Gear or Transponder.
Will the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller be supported?
I’m also using the XBox Elite Series 2 Controller and mine was automatically recognized and configured by the game. LT/RT are mapped to the Left/Right Rudders and LB/RB are automatically mapped to the Landing Flaps In/Out.
Do you have profiles running on the Controller? Is the firmware up to date? Have you tried to re-connect?
Yeah same experience here - the base controls were automatically mapped to RT/LT RB/LB as you described.
BUT - what about the four paddle buttons on the back of the controller? I want to map those for some of the aircraft auxiliaries such as lights or fuel switch or transponder.
This is what I am running into now… I bought this controller assuming I can use the paddles (p1-p4) to control flaps and other stuff.. but the paddle buttons are not supported. BOOOO!
same here. And the first posts are over a year ago and for PC. Sadly as of today the Elite 2 is also not supported on Xbox - at least not the paddles. Would be so great to have those extra buttons to be configured within MSFS
What I would like to know, is that will the Xbox Controller Elite 2, help me with flying/controlling the V-22 Osprey, F-35B, AV-8 Harrier, etc…? Appreciate the advice!
The elite 2 will allow you to re-map buttons to “shift” mod, which will open up a TON of new keys on your controller. For example, use left top paddle as a shift mod, and then remap your Y button shift mod to some keyboard command. So when you press left top paddle + Y button, you will get a different key.
