FS2020: Tips on configuring your Xbox Controller for MSFS on the Xbox Consoles (and Review).

[@mattdrummond3552]

Can I just say something random? I'm a Chicagoan and have never heard of the city Innsbruck in my life until yesterday when I heard my sister and her fiance stopped in Innsbruck on their trip. My first MSFS 2020 flight was Innsbruck. While looking up youtube tuturials today, the first video I clicked was from Squirrel and his tutorial location was Innsbruck. I then found myself on your tutorial and whattya know - Innsbruck. Is this a very famous location, or have I just experienced several coincidences? Great video though, I'm loving the sensitivies you suggested.

As a private pilot myself I haven't been able to fly for a number of years. I just got an Xbox series s and had a go last night. The default controls didn't make me feel anything like flying although everything else brought back intense nostalgia of my frequent flying days. I'm very excited to try out your recommended settings! Thanks so much for the video and helping and out of practice pilot find his wings again!

Looking forward to your next video setting up the Hotas One.

[@Kai_7901]

Yes please I’ve noticed that some of the default mapping is wrong. 1 sim says smart cam is A but it’s really the emergency break. 2 it says F2 is for landing gear and it’s not its B. Both of these buttons on on the throttle. I looked in the controller settings for the hotas flight one. The buttons the sim says to press are correct and in settings it’s shows those buttons but it’s not mapped that way even when the sim says it is. My friend has this stick too and it’s the same for him

[@rejeme]

I couldn’t figure out how to bind any keys on my Hotas One. The buttons I tried to set would not coincide with the buttons that were read by the Xbox. Example: When binding keys in the setup menu, if I pressed Y, it read it as B, etc.

[@Kai_7901]

@@rejeme I didn’t try remapping yesterday because I didn’t want to spend all day messing with menus. But is sounds like the issue I’m having. The buttons the sim is telling you to press are not what the buttons are on the hotas. Is it on thrustmaster side of things or is it on MFS side where it’s a compatible issue. I would like to know.

[@dutcharcher86]

Yes hopefully I can properly map the F2 key, for some reason it registers as A. Also would like to use the joystick in cursor mode.

Funny that I kind of stumbled on similar sensitivity settings prior to finding your video. Makes me feel like I’m on the right track. The default control settings cause the plane to move drastically with only micro-movements of the thumb stick. Too easy to put her in a tailspin!

Yes those sensitivities really need to be dialled in on the Series S/X controllers; still a little too sensitive for my liking, I'm hoping they address this soon.

[@daneav8]

Great video and I will certainly try some suggestions. I will say that I have been using the default gamepad settings for a week now and actually don't mind them. I do fly for a living, and it is very typical for new pilots to over control the aircraft because it seems (to them) - overly sensitive...especially helicopters. In another area, I also remember when I was learning to wakeboard awhile ago and my friend who was an expert told me to remove the fins from the back, underside of the board. I asked why, as they are there to make riding easier. He said, you will become a better rider, and learn finer muscle control if you remove them and not rely on them to do it for you. This post is by no means meant to insult anyone, just some thoughts. Of course, if needed ...play around with the adjustments! Cheers and thanks for the vids!

Yeah the download was a bit of a pain and I have great internet. 27gig update....then 20gig more of world updates. The world updates kept failing for me and had to restart the sim a few times to get then to correctly install. I do like the trim set up but the stick is quite sensitive so you have to learn to be very gentle when trimming. I also have the series S and with a good 4K HDR tv it still looks great. The buildings definitely don't look as good and the draw distance isn't that big but the whole thing is perfectly acceptable. I've only had 2 small stutters in a few hours of game play. Also have an issue where I pre ordered the premium deluxe version but it hasn't recognised it and I can't claim the upgrade in game, it's given me a lower tier upgrade, so hopefully that's fixed soon. Thanks for the settings tips I'll definitely try those.

Great video, happy with the settings for sure they're the best ones I've used but do you ever find the the controls in MSFS overall almost seem on or off? 🤔 It's nothing to do with your settings because it's been the same for all of the ones I've tried, the thumb stick gets so far across and the controls snap on 😬

To be honest, I've not used the controller for flying purposes for some time now, as I'm either using my Velocity One of Hotas One; but I personally haven't noticed what you are describing with the Xbox controller.

Thanks a lot Huddison for your job to the Xbox gamers ;-) ---- I have done yesterday my Xbox controler setting ( it works fine ) but i will try yours on a new profile ( named Huddison controler :-) ) . ---------- i have found a global parameter for sensitivity witch the comment say ( translate from french by me, sorry ) : " Ajust the command 's sensitivity to get an easier control with the use of Xbox pad " . This parameters is here ( in french sorry ) : Options => Options d'assistance => Pilotage => Sensibilté de la manette assistée ON/OFF .

[@TheRealLaughingGravy]

I've found your videos very helpful - but the right button + right stick control for trim I find incredibly awkward. Most of the time it just moves my camera. It seems you have to be very precise with your timing pressing both to get it to work. I bought an inexpensive wireless keyboard and mouse because I became so frustrated with trim adjustment. On the keyboard you just press 7 or 1 on the numeric keypad. So much easier. (Lots of other controls, of course, are easier with the keyboard and mouse, but trim control was my initial reason for getting them.)

[@Huddison]

That sounds like a helpful tip & always best to use controls that suit you.

If I have to guess what when wrong with the updates, I would say that did what everyone else does with next gen games - unfinished games that get last moment updates. Is hard to believe Microsoft does have many CDN (Contend Delivery Networks), so throttling from the downloads shouldn't be a thing.

You didn't say one word about what do "Extremity dead zone" and "Reactivity" mean and do? Thx

[@Huddison]

I've talked about that in other of my videos.

Can you plz make a vid on which yokes or sticks are compatible with the Xbox❤️?

[@Huddison]

No yokes yet. Check for a recentish video I made on the Xbox version, discussing that ( I can't link it atm, as I'm away & on my mobile).

One last question, Can I get liveries on Xbox?

[@TascoSweeney]

97GB Instal 27GB Update Roughly 30GB for map updates etc. These would have been better included in day one update. Side note: IF you do have a very good and reliable internet connection, you can save back roughly 40GB by deleting the “off line map data” Other than that, a fantastic achievement on a console.

[@Huddison]

I totally agree with all your points.

[@trolltaker]

Great help with the control sensitivity settings, but wayyyy too wordy. I don't really need to know about the XBox 360 on the PC or any of that. I came here to look for what the title says. The tips are here, and they were good tips...but this could easily be boiled down to a 10 minute or less video. It would be great if you would do that.

[@Huddison]

You'll get used to it.

[@michaelsarfaiti6312]

Great video thanks! Do you know how to invert y axis look in cockpit view?

[@Huddison]

I'll get back to you.

[@tel7625]

@huddison, nice video, I have a few questions, with these settings do you disable the Xbox pad assist option in the assist settings? Also are these settings good for most aircraft in game from say a Cessna 152 to a320 airliner? Thanks

[@Huddison]

Each aircraft handles differently, so set up sensitivities to suit each one.

[@Frank-vr9rr]

Hello, when I pilot the 747 and I reach some altitude always ask me to set the altimeter..but I don’t know how to set 😭 somebody knows?

[@TheJML1975]

Do you still have throttle set to A and B buttons??

[@Huddison]

Yes, unless you reassign them

[@TheJML1975]

@@Huddison When starting the tutorials the controls felt off but I wasn’t confident enough to tinker with the settings, so searched KZbin and found your video. So after watching this video yesterday I went home and was going to try your suggestions for the sensitivity, as in didn’t like the setup the game had. Unfortunately I had an update for the game so wasn’t able to get on it last night but will get on tonight after work and change the settings. But I also don’t like the throttle being set to holding A to apply power and holding B to decrease it. And just wondered if you’d had assigned a different control scheme for it?

I just wanna know how to move my plane with my controller

[@berserkerdog4465]

Hi huddison thanks. Agin for the info It really s helps but my rudder still a bit aggressive in the spitfire. Mk9 but the rest of settings working well

[@Huddison]

Hi, try adding a bit more dead-zone on the rudder sensitivities and/or decreasing the sensitivity on the + access, until it starts to feel right for you.

[@berserkerdog4465]

@@Huddison I will add more dead zone. See how it goes
