XCloud - Xbox Controller flaws in MSFS2024 / Flying impossible!

Have you managed to get keyboard and mouse working with better xcloud on FS2024? I tried and didn’t work… :frowning:

BTW…I cannot seem to enter the game through XCloud at the moment…infinite ‘Preparing the game’ notice…maybe they are updating it right now with HotFixes?

Edited: I can start the sim through XCloud but my controller doesn’t work anymore, I cannot press the start button…anybody else?

Xbox Cloud gives you an virtual Xbox Series S. One rack of each server can emulate two Series S, each for one user.

Log out and then log back in without exiting the game. When you start the game again it should start when you left off and recognise the controller.

Having the same issues as others where the controller just isn’t recognised; can’t get past the start screen. Tried the suggestions of logging out and back in again but that doesn’t work for me. Tried on my Samsung TV, my PC through both the app and browser and none work. My controller is older but works on other Xcloud games with no problems.

I also see a mouse cursor on the top left of the screen, but it isn’t my mouse.

Yes, i still suffer from this controller issue on android and Xbox controller.
Somehow I managed to make it work with Better XCloud, but it is very random at the moment…this morning controller was working without issues…this afternoon just didn’t…i have the feeling they change stuff throughout the day…trying to improve stability…so hopefully tomorrow everything it is fixed :slight_smile:

Hello pal, I found an easier method to fix the controller issues in PC Cloud Gaming.

  1. Start a mission
  2. Press F5 while your in the browser
  3. Wait until the Rocket loading screen finish
  4. You will be back right where you left the game with fixed controller inputs
  5. Enjoy!

2 weeks later and still nothing changed. FS24 is not playable on XBox with a mouse and Thrustmaster Airbus flightstick/throttle. Can I ask for a refund? getting really tired of waiting. it’s a disgrace.:face_with_symbols_over_mouth::face_with_symbols_over_mouth::face_with_symbols_over_mouth::-1::-1::-1:

after more than two weeks they come with an update that is only for pc. XBox players are disadvantaged again.

This trick no longer works reliably, for me at least. I’ve just had my controller still not work after quitting and restarting the Xbox app. Quitting and restarting the game, and the quitting and restarting the Xbox app a second time did work, fortunately. It would be great if this got fixed so the quit/restart hack wasn’t needed at all, but breaking the hack is definitely a step in the wrong direction.

is this read by the makers of FS??? a small signal from the team would be nice. the feeling that you are heard.

For me it is about the problem with XBox and then mainly the mouse and flightstick/throttle settings that do not work.

The thread is now tagged Bug-Logged, so there is some hope that the “XBox Controller not working with XCloud version” issue is now known to the developers. The “mouse doesn’t work as expected with the XBox version” problem was probably lost in the thread here, since it’s the “XBox controller doesn’t work with the XCloud version” thread.

Edit:
I found this on the “Known issues for Microsoft Flight Simulator” page:

“-Freelook moves really fast when using a mouse on Xbox
-This issue is logged in our internal bug tracker and is being investigated”

Apparently it’s a platform issue on the console. Not just the Xbox controller but the mouse issue. We haven’t seen this issue with the mouse on Xcloud which still doesn’t support mouse and keyboard for MSFS 2024, but we would definitely see it.

disappointed again. on twitch the team says that the mouse sensitivity needs to be further investigated. How so??? everyone complains about it. Airbus flightstick and throttle do not work. For 3 weeks. I do not do FS24 with the joystick so I have not flown a meter since the launch. Bad advertising and I do not recommend this sim!!!

A post was split to a new topic: refundBdb

How is it actually possible that MSFS 24 is currently shown as the 3rd most popular XCloud game? Are there any players who don’t have problems with the controller on XCloud? I can’t imagine that they all play with the walkaround. How do they fly?

If I get on the apron and it’s bugged, what I do is reloading. If you play from the browser just press F5 and you will return to the same point you were but it will be very likely that your controller works fine. If you play from Xbox App just logout when you are ingame and login again, you will be able to reload the game at the point you were.

I play with Xbox Controller, what a nightmare, but I have managed to make my own setting so I can fly. Though I hate with all of my life that I’m not able to play with mouse and keyboard.
