Touch controls in the cloud version

I seem to remember that Jörg showed a screenshot of the cloud version of MSFS with touch controls in a previous (not the latest) dev Q&A stream.

Is that live already, or is it an upcoming feature?

Found it. The forum seems to eat the timestamp, it’s at 1:07:15.

Coming with SU15, Jörg said in January.

It’s here for sure. Running the garmin, some of the knobs are frustrating, some work fine, overall it works but needs some polish. A user guide would help. But being able to fly anywhere with an iPad is pretty ■■■■ handy.

I have been recently playing for a week on xcloud (xbox gamepass) on my android phone and it does work nicely! Both Gyroscope and touch controls! Thanks so much devs! It takes some time to get used to it, but definetly worth playing anywhere without the need of a controller.

There are a few things that need to be polished.

  • wxternal camera views limited at the moment. It would be great to be able to access fixed external views like wing views etc
  • The button user interface is a bit clunky. I need to press 2 buttons to access external view, a but annoying! Redesign needed.
  • on the ATR for example, some knobs like the ILS/FMS selector is locked, cannot turn it. It also happens with other planes like the Airbus neo (v2)
