A Quickstart Guide to Bindings & Conflicts in MSFS2024

[@FlightSimSchool]

In the coming days, I’ll post screenshots of all the keys I re-assigned on my website at flightsim.school/2024/11/22/a-quickstart-guide-to-bindings-in-msfs2024/

[@Newsrc12]

Huge help! This is the kind of info I need to get going with MSFS 2024. Started my flight sim hobby a year ago with xPlane figuring I'd wait for MSFS 2024. Fortunately my Honeycomb Alpha/Bravo is plug and play in 2024 (but no lights or switch mappings) so at least I can fly, but trying to get everything else working is so much harder than in xPlane.

Great job explaining this mark

[@SVS96DAN]

Thank you for this very useful and, as usual, clearly explained video! 🙏

[@DouglassFootball]

Check the brake binding -- Citation CJ4 for example --- and see if the left and right brakes do not function independently and that pilot - copilot axis are reversed.....

[@melvinquebec]

Hi Marc, The aircraft-specific bindings are mapped when you bind something that is specific for an airfract. For example, the Avionics Bus 1 and 2 are 172-specific. I bind them for my startup sequence for this airplane.

[@FlightSimSchool]

Merci Melvin :)

[@Dougiesg]

You have a new subscriber, this great mate, well explained and concise.

[@spike238]

Great tutorial , thank you , Seems the Honeycomb AFC Bridge needs an update to illuminate the switches

[@FlightSimSchool]

Yeah, I haven’t bothered even trying to get the lights working yet

[@rogerferraro6661]

Thanks for this video, Marc. it cleared the fog for me with this interface. Big duh moment when you explained Airplane label equated to Airplane controls section. I think I can muddle through this now. It is a very powerful interface just very confusing with no documentation.

[@FlightSimSchool]

I’m glad it helped :)

Hi Mark. Very good video as always! Any keybinding to set heading bug to current heading? Found a binding for setting it to N which is not very useful. I would think in 99% of cases you want to set it to current heading (takeoff, AP on/off etc)

[@acn-70]

Thank you. Regards.

[@glennkendall8621]

Thank-you Marc. Very helpful.

Very useful video Mark. Quick question. Using Nav Lights, as an example, what is the difference between "Nav Lights On / Off", "Toggle Nav lights" and "Set Nav Lights". I understand the first two, but what does "Set" do?

[@FlightSimSchool]

To be honest, I’m not certain, I never used it in 2020. I *think* it’s more for external apps (like spad or axisandohs) through simconnect to give it another way to set a value with a parameter. But I’m not sure about that.

[@caskraker]

Use Toggle Nav lights, that is a lot easier than binding on and off separately.

[@FlightSimSchool]

The problem with toggle is it won’t always set the state properly, so you can easily end up in a situation where the on and off become inverted if you forgot the switch on the bravo on initially.

[@10R8OH]

This channel is brilliant!

[@Max_Holton]

You are able to bindings on the Xbox controller u press the left button next to the share button

[@ddsdss256]

Merci. As expected, there are going to be a lot of growing pains--not just the PITA of setting everything up, but the many annoying bugs. I know this is a bit off-topic, but it would be great to see some related advice. One of the worst issues I've experienced so far is the inability to turn rotary knobs, such as adjusting OBS or HDG or zooming a Garmin GPS. I can click the Direct to button, but can't enter a waypoint. I've tried changing the settings but can't get the curved arrows to appear in the click spots--just those weird blue/yellow highlights. I have peripherals but obviously, the keyboard and mouse are essential for certain inputs.

[@FlightSimSchool]

I switched mine into legacy control mode in the settings to get rid of that, the only issue I’m having now it I can’t click on the top of the gps knob in a g1000, not sure if it’s a bug or I’m doing something wrong though

[@Newsrc12]

Just FYI. I like flying the Vision Jet (G2) too, but after doing these bindings I still can't get control of the nav lights on this plane. They are always on. Landing lights and strobes do turn on/off. Deleted all conflicts and still no luck. However, the same bindings work fine on the 172, all lights, full on/off control. I'm using the standard light control switches on my Alpha Yoke. Tried a switch on the Bravo with same result, no control. Strange that it would work for you on the Bravo but not for me. I'm seeing lots of inconsistency in controls as I try different airplanes. Perhaps bugs in the airplane models that will get ironed out over time, or maybe I just don't know what I'm doing, which is entirely the case...🙂

[@FlightSimSchool]

There are some bugs with the lights that I’ve noticed. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t.

[@Newsrc12]

I see this plane does not have a switch for nav lights, only strobe, landing and ice?. Perhaps it's not a s/w bug but the way the plane was designed. Anyway, your method for binding these switches works perfectly!

[@tyelerpresgraves2696]

Hover your mouse over binding you wany to clear and hit "backspace" to clear that specific binding

[@jrfreeagent3179]

Next to 'Airplanes' is 'Digital', any info on what that means? Helpful info. Thank you

[@mapolinski]

I think those are Tags. So that binding is used for Airplanes and is a Digital control (as opposed to some kind of analog device). There are probably tags for Helicopter, Balloon, etc.

[@jrfreeagent3179]

@@mapolinski I appreciate the reply. As usual there is no documentation on any of this. Time will tell.

[@fugginrambo]

Thanks, I've saved my bindings several times and applied to All planes . However it only saves it to 1 aircraft and when I close the game/it crashes I lose all the bindings. I will try again tomorrow

[@FlightSimSchool]

That sounds like a bug unfortunately :(

[@videoresult7331]

I have the same frustrating issue!

[@nicolasdiaz6909]

Hey good video, I am having an issue with my logitech 3D Pro , its related with the helicopter trottle, I have only test it in the heli that is in the training sessions, my little power stick in the 3d pro works fine in planes but is not binded in helicopters, I did bind it but is not recognizing it, anybody help with this?

[@mattelliott8446]

i have the t flight hotas x and i am shocked theres no default bindings for it, this is so frustrating i can't enjoy the sim at all
