I just discovered Something after 1 year playing msfs on Xbox . You dont need to use ur right joystick on the Controller for setting height, frequency,course etc… You can use also the right/left bumper for setting this things up. It is not displayed on the toolbox when you hover over the certain buttons but it works. It is so much better, it was a pain in the ■■■ to put the airport code on a garmin but with the bumpers it is much better.
Try it Out!
The triggers also work on most levers and switches (throttle, multi-state switches etc). I mostly use them instead of the right stick, because they’re more accurate. Using the right stick on autopilot knobs, for example, can be cumbersome in some aircraft, being either too fast or not accurate enough due to its analogue nature. Using the triggers is much better, in my opinion.
