MSFS 2024 Control Settings Explained

[@sammanganellojr5533]

Was such a waste of time. Should have kept 2020 set up. They didn't need to change control setup from 2020

[@ikbenspeedy]

I like how you can now have different setups per plane, but the way it’s implemented and what the defaults are is very confusing

[@Its_Spaceman_]

@@ikbenspeedy they 100% could've done the 2020 settings with per plane setting added

[@ikbenspeedy]

@@Its_Spaceman_ yh it's super frustrating to do have to redo all controls but once that works it's the better option i think

[@billB101]

Should be able to port the settings over from 2020 too

[@mortekaieve4729]

They were saying they made the control setup far easier and more intuitive. It's a major step back from 2020, total pain in the butt.

[@sb705207a]

Yes it's bollox; I spent over £500 on Thrustmaster controllers and my MSFS 2024 still can't detect them - looks like mouse/keyboard for now!!

[@utkrishtmendiratta4341]

6:35 The reason it wasnt cleared was because you only cleared the general controls profile and not the aircraft controls profiles. if you clear both the profiles you would have gotten a clear profile.

[@BluGames]

O ok gotcha thanks

[@5bStix]

@@BluGames This literally proved in real time how frustrating this system is to use.

[@harlont]

Did not work for me. Even clearing both "General" and "Airplane" controls, the bindings will indeed disappear, but as soon as I reload another flight all the bindings are back. This is only (so far) with an Xbox controller I use on my PC for cameras and moving around. It's a duplicate, of course, and I've tried making it default, applying to all planes, etc. Nothing has worked. Frustrating as hell as using that to jump in and out of camera modes (in VR) gets a lot of use in my setup. Any suggestions? Very likely user error, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. (Great video, by the way. Thank you)

[@Sebastopolmark]

Very well done. Like anything, people do not like change. This was NOT an update but a whole new platform to accommodate 2024 and beyond. At least you got it loaded and running. I am going to wait a week or so. I purchased a new hard drive and it will arrive in 4 days, so good timing! !! !!!

[@NickFlightX]

This helped me out so much! Even as an experienced simmer, this new control system confused me. Awesome explanation of this! Keep it up bro!

[@BluGames]

You're very welcome!

[@physicsteacher4569]

What is the meaning of the little circled number that pops up next to the keybinding once it's scanned? Is it perhaps the number of other bindings to this key? This video was well organized and explained. Thank you! Yes, it's all new, but as a retired systems designer, I appreciate why they had to revamp the whole thing. You could read all the complaining comments below for when 2020 came out.

[@BluGames]

I have not figured out what they mean which is why i didnt mention it. I thought the # represent how many instances that keybind has been used but once you change it. It goes away

[@Petercrossed]

Yes its the number of bindings to that key. Press the gear icon on the right of it, and you will see which actions are assigned.

[@kevindavis8175]

It means that there are “Assignment” conflicts with the key or button in question.

[@Topcat1952]

Appreciate this video. It has been quite a challenge trying to figure out how this new interface works, but your explanation has helped me gain a better understanding. Now, if I could just figure out the difference between me doing something incorrect and MSFS2024 having a "bug", I would be less stressed. Thanks again!

[@andyt204]

Just tried to play the game after 3 days of waiting and found that none of my controls were working. After watching this video I'm either going to wait for a patch or just leave it, can't be doing with all this nonsense

[@daviddavids8218]

So glad you made this, and I’ve found it, helped me so much. Still had a flight, it just shows overhead of my take off area and a circle, circling …until Inget fed up, now Thurs night.

[@georgesiebes]

Yeah, good video. There are also some other features such as when the same setting is assigned to multiple purposes, and how to then manage each individual setting. My current issue is with something very basic (in free flight) which is, how to get into the cockpit of non-standard planes. You see how in the stock aircraft you click on the door handle and you hop in and back out.

[@newelementfilms]

Aircraft specific controls would be things like the 'tail hook' for the F18, or lowering the pontoons, toggle water rudder... things like that.

[@ceegnz]

20 seconds into the video ... Oh yes ! The number of control profiles I now have with 4 letter names .........

[@BluGames]

😂

[@NicolajFlies]

Opened the sim this morning, only to find that ASOBO had reset ALL of my settings. (We've seen this before in 2020) Spent 30min putting everything back, and what worked for me yesterday performance wise, didn't work today. Complete stutter show! I am appalled.

[@BluGames]

Ouch…

[@Franco4flyin]

I like the new setup…much more versatile! Like anything new you have to figure out the concept and learn it. Very easy once you put the kearning part first, then create your profiles as needed.

[@rom1usa]

Nice one - Just a question - Next to some assignments there is sometimes a white bubble with numbers in them (1, 2 3, ...) - Any idea what they correspond to ? I think it means that key has already been assigned X times ... ? What is it ?

[@KoelKoen]

Tried setting airbus thrustmaster to be used for 4 engines,3 sensitivity curves are fine,the ,4th keeps resetting,typing it manual will drive you insane,it resets to default,rounds up or down or just deletes what you're typing as a value,what a mess

[@martymcfly6098]

I can't get my T-Pendular rudder pedals to work. I have disabled all of auto assist crap. On external view the rudder will intermittingly try to deflect but it goes back to the center............

[@LostPikachu]

Helpful video! One question I have is how to select a keybind from a dropdown menu instead of scanning. For example with my throttle quadrant, the sim does not detect the throttle axis correctly when scanning and I couldn't find a place to select it in the dropdown menu of all buttons and axis's like in 2020. Do you know a fix for this?

[@Mrv.60]

Select Thottle. On your screen at the very far right you will see a gear icon. Click on it, on the far left of your screen you will be able to select what button or axis you want to use for your throttle.

[@BluGames]

Thanks for answering this is correct

[@R3ALGAMERYT]

Can I have some help because I have my thrustmaster joystick equipped and whenever I’m taking of,the nose wheel juts turns and I can’t control it

[@remcodendulk4699]

i dont find how you delete key bindings ? can you do that .. i see the numbers and i think thair are more bindings to that key

[@jacobrosario2493]

Hover over it and hit backspace

[@derrtycp71]

Could u please do a set up for the thrustmaster airbus stick, throttles and rudder pedals please. I am so confused and nobody is showing how to set these specific controllers up. Please please. Thanks.

[@JohnCampbell-xl6ix]

I can’t get key binding to work with Xbox controller & Xbox Series X. I’ve changed the controls to specific commands (up/down trim & spoiler activation) & it doesn’t work when operating in free flight. Extremely frustrating!!!

[@The_Real_Indiana_Joe]

I have controls on my 'recognized' joystick not working. And I can delete bindings to the mouse, and they still have the same affect as before 🤔

[@gregorykorvin]

Great video thank you. Greetings from Marbella, Southern Spain ;-)

[@KadieKai]

I need some help, my controls have reversed nose up is now nose down and thrust is now pull down instead of push up

[@adamgibson9385]

I have a roller thing on my joystick that is supposed to be used as a trim wheel - for some reason it never works on msfs 2024.. any ideas?

[@dylanmiller9604]

Still seemingly impossible to properly set up reverse thrust/prop feathering on constant speed props with the bravo🫤

[@SpcmnSpf22]

Clearing did work. You cleared the general controls and what was listed after were all Airplanes controls which you did not clear.

[@Test.Unknown]

How are you verified?

[@2ndGear-]

I have a Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X and I had to invert the axis because the default settings were inverted.

[@mattelliott8446]

i have the same and my rudder and throttle were bound, it makes no sense and its so much to fix

[@2ndGear-]

@ fr

[@Liamthatavgeek]

My axis AND my throttle were inverted 💀

[@MrJatariusStinson]

How did you invert the axis?

[@2ndGear-]

@@MrJatariusStinson go to control settings, search by specific button, click the cogwheel, click invert axis.

[@rodrigogodoi4250]

Why there some inputs marked as analog and others as digital? Whats the difference? Half my cockpit look cameras are marked as analog, and the other half as digital, the keybindings marked as digital works, the analog ones dont and I cant fix it! I delete and remake the bindings, still dont work! QA for this game have been VERY POOR!

[@UncleDEntertainment2023]

Ok so planes are easy to set up but helicopters are a nightmare, my planes fly fine but my helicopters have no settings. would you please do a video on just what helicopter bindings should be used cause it's so much stuff in there it feels hopeless, but I can't fly my helicopters in 2024

[@virtualvarsity2727]

I can’t get my option to switch back to 2020 key bindings

[@dkmaxx2172]

When I use my "take control of character" bind during the walk around it never does anything. Anyone know what I can do??

[@thedawgg2385]

great video to understand the basics of it! also is anyone else having the issue where you apply full throttle and it doesnt go to 100% on some aircraft?

[@evan_belka9318]

mines the complete opposite, I barly touch the trottle and it goes to 100%

[@therudyreport]

Is there anyway to deactivate a button? My base slider on my Boeing Thrustmaster is always registering when I'm trying to bind new buttons.

[@pehmomies]

Thank you so much about this video! This helped so much! ❤

That made ah lot sense to me, thanks, cause setting up my controls was getting on my nerves!🧑🏾‍✈️🛩🇺🇸👍🏾

[@killerbsting1621]

I set my custom views and it literally is saving to every plane so the views are all fd up..ugh what a pain

[@BluGames]

Only work around i have found is sadly to restart the game before making new camera views in each planes.. obviously not ideal

[@killerbsting1621]

@BluGames ok, I thought it was because I was clicking save to every aircraft...I'll check it out later

im facing a problem where i cant turn that well on the ground and i end up doing just a really large and long turn, any1 got a fix?

I believe Default sets the profile to only the plane you are editing, while apply to all does what it it says...

[@kokkupitto]

first comment from Tokyo🇯🇵

[@videocruzer]

i pre ordered the premium and could not get the controller to work with the sim, windows showed the joystick was connected and working fine, MS flight sim showed that the primary flight surfaces were bound to the controller after i had to bind them myself, took me a couple of hours to figure out how to set up the controller and then not have it work, so i asked steam for a refund, the 200 bucks showed up a couple of hours after i asked for my money back, steam is awesome this way. I was really looking forward to this sim so much I spent just over 4 grand on a gaming rig pretty much for this game and i can not under stand why they made setting up the joystick so complicated to the point it failed the product and i ditched the game. I hope their future products will make the setup automatic for basic flight controllers.

[@_zeranom]

what 😳 ???? wtf, I have a lot of different joysticks, rudders, throttles, some on a rig, some on a desk. In msfs2020 all no problem, all saved in a cloud, synchronized automatically. Here I must all start all from new, hundreds of keybindings, full individual. Why the hell is there no possibility to import the settings from MSFS 2020 to 2024 ? special when the games just working over the same gamertag in the msfs store. I see absolutely no advantage in this totaly new way of making the keybindings. Ok, when you just play the game on a xbox with one controller, than maybe yes. Seems that the idea of developing this game was - just to play on a xbox only…🤦‍♂️

[@BluGames]

Importing keybinding from 2020 would have been great..

[@mcshiggitypilot5901]

Clear as mud… doh!

[@brett22bt]

Does anyone know how to delete an assignment binding? I found a delete button, but when I click it, nothing happens.

[@blakeb7390]

Hover over the keybind you want to delete wither mouse till it highlighted. Then press backspace. The whole menu system and logic behind it is completely messed up. They need to completely revamp the already new game.

[@brett22bt]

@@blakeb7390 I wouldn't have guessed to do that in a million years.

Im having trouble with my mouse for cockpit free look and external camera free look. And the left click dnt work either. Tho i see the option but it ain’t working. It used to be easy on mfs2020. I use xbox. Anyone else have this issue or have an idea how to fix it, plz let me know thx. I already spent a few hours on the setting, no luck

[@StuartKerrison]

I have wasted hours on the same issue. All I want is for ALL my cameras and flight controls to act the same way. (Move mouse/joystick towards me - view/plane goes up, and the opposite when I move it away from me). So far, nothing I have tried works. Why this isn't default in a flight sim is beyond me.

[@chocolatetie2]

I’m utterly just sitting here with my mouth open I’m so confused. sometimes I think I got it other times everything will just reset.

[@lazo5784]

If they could adapt the way XP12 handles this and it will be a smoother and easier process.

[@BluGames]

100% agree

[@allroadant]

Please make a tutorial on setting up the cameras because i lost it trying lol

[@kkpriest5880]

I wish every sim would copy DCS way to bind controls. So easy and intuitive. This is just mess.

[@markgr1nyer]

I'll be using Spad.nxt. I can't be bothered with all this. Why mess with a system that's already established. My MSFS24 is still very unstable. Anything more complicated than a Cessna and it CTDs or locks my system up. I can't even work out how to go to an external view I'll be staying with MSFS20 for a bit. Looks like Microsoft has recruited a load of staff from Dovetail. Great potential let down by the execution
