Apologies if this has already been asked, I keep seeing people saying they’re using a ‘drone camera’, how do I use this on the xbox series x? Is this how people are showing screenshots without all the stuff on the screen such as airspeed, altitude etc.
Thanks
Select the showcase tab on the camera menu, from the top toolbar.
Bill, this was it, thank you so much!!
Love the game so far. On xbox… I was hoping to keep long haul flights on at night. However, after a certain amount of time xbox auto pauses the game. Does anyone know how to turn this off?
Yes in the console under settings turn off or check off idle mode also make sure you have your controller plugged in to a usb without the batteries. Long hauls are hard because so far mine have crashed to desktop or the screens go black after a few hours
“Xbox users, Welcome Aboard!”
PC users, Goodbye!
Been enjoying the sim so far. Have a lot to learn thats for sure. Currently using a Thrustmaster Hotas with keyboard, mouse and Xbox controller. I find I use the controller for external viewing vs the mouse.
I still struggle with setting the trim in the Cesna 152. Do I hold the hoke while setting the trim, or do I release and then set trim?
Question…So on the marketplace I see ratings for planes and such. How do I see the comments for these things ? I tried to look at a review or something for the beechcraft king air c90 but didn’t find anything anywhere…not on YouTube or anything. How do I see some feedback from the people who have flown them ?
I had the same idea. Make sure your Xbox settings are set so that your Xbox doesn’t turn off after so many hours and so that your controller doesn’t either, as when the controller is disconnected the game automatically pauses.
Nasty indeed ! I’m a PC user with keyboard only, but my keyboard is complete…
First, make sure you have the most important things like Elevator up/down and Aeleron left/right to your XBox-controller. And also, better assign the Rudder Left and Rudder Right (for me it is Ins and Enter) to you Controller. Find buttons for it. Also, put Break and Handbreak on your Controller. All other things can be assigned to the keyboard…
Tip: to find settings, you can go through the long list, but you can also Search what you want: you can use the Search option in the Settings screens. When you type Rudder in the Search box, you get all rudder settings.
To solve the issue with the rest of it… the only workaround I can think of: is go to Controller Settings / Keyboard and just replace the cursor key things like Camera Left and Camera Right (Control-left and Control-right) with other keys. You could e.g. replace Control left and right with keys J and K.
Another issue to add for the Hotas one. I have created a custom mapping profile for it, which includes amended control sensitivities. However, when I close the game, I open it again to find that the sensitivities have reset to default despite the fact I apply and save them to that setup, so its annoying to have to go in and change them again each time.
Anyone know why this is happening and if there is a workaround? Thanks!
Loving the sim so far apart from that, currently completing mandatory isolation after travelling abroad and its helping the days fly by!!
anyone know when current live events are coming to xbox, weekly events?
I’ve seen videos of the sensitivities not saving. I think its a bug that needs to be fixed in a future update.
Nearly the same as me,i got my settings from a YouTuber.
Well, I went to try it on my Series X today for the first time.
It doesn’t work at all.
In most of the menus the controller just totally fails to let you move the cursor/selection around. In some like the home menu, it works, and I can left-stick or d-pad around the menu and select stuff. But almost everywhere else the controller sticks and d-pad are inoperative.
I can’t even operate the function to reset the config to defaults as in the confirmation pop-up the A button doesn’t work.
In the discovery flight menu, the right stick works to scroll through the list of flights, but down only. going back up doesn’t work, and it’s impossible to move the selection cursor into the list as the left stick and d-pad are inoperative.
Was it too much to hope that a console version of the game wouldn’t ■■■■ the bed every freaking time the way the PC version does?
Sigh.
The problem is that the keys shown on screen aren’t necessarily the ones that actually work.
Once you figure that out it’s mostly fine but no, it’s not helpful.
It’s an XBOX controller. I’ve pushed all the buttons that exist.
Gonna try going to the Windows version and resetting all the control options there and see if that syncs on top of the XBOX version.
I would PAY for an option to stop using the cloud for ANYTHING relating to configuration, user data, career data, etc. It’s just NEVER helpful when you have more than one system you use the software on. Like it insists that my high end gaming PC and my mid-tier PC in the livingroom MUST have the same graphics settings (rolls eyes). And now it decided to apply all my Windows PC settings to the XBOX. I mean, ■■■??
I think they need to increase server capacity even more. There are many people, especially on PC that are getting horrible bandwidth for photogrammetry and bing satellite imagery.
Interesting, some PC pilots were saying earlier that the graphics quality was back to pre-Update 5 quality. If that’s the case then yeah, they need to scale out more Azure instances and we can kill off this ridiculous “Xbox release ruined the game” talk.
Further problems I have experienced (Series X):
A320 AP does not function correctly. Very slow climb above 20,000FT, unable to change speed and VS knob doesn’t work.
Unsure whether VRR is working correctly on TVs with 120Hz capability. Seems to be a lot of stuttering and pausing when both options are enabled through Xbox.
Rolling Cache may not be working correctly.
Objects do not load in quickly when changing camera, usually more-so in external view. Very noticeable ‘pop-in’ across aircraft, terrain and pilot avatars.
Xbox version does not have a LEGACY option for cockpit interaction, even when using mouse and keyboard.
Aircraft are usually too fast when landing, despite the correct procedures to land.
AI Trim is broken in Flight Assistant and does not work as intended.
Flight Assistant ‘recommended’ speeds are wrong for all aircraft.
ATC calls out incorrect altitudes even when not, asks you to expedite.
Rudder does not work on some float planes.
Performance improvements required. Using smart-camera drops the FPS by a large amount.
Keyboard commands do not always register, requiring several presses.
Toolbar line doesn’t hide.
Invite to Group (multiplayer) does not work, always says someone left the Group.
