![]() Either way, as long as you know what key(s) activates which command, you can program your controller buttons and hats to send that to the game. This is why it’s imperative that you either learn the rather convoluted MSFS default keyboard commands (see above) or create your own custom keyboard profile with your own set of key bindings that’s more understandable to you. That is, you assign keyboard press(es) to each button on your controller and it’s the same as if you’d typed those commands in on the keyboard. The basic convention of dedicated flightsim controller software is to turn the HOTAS, stick, yoke, button panel, or whatever into another keyboard.So if you own such a thing, BY ALL MEANS download its software and learn to use it. MSFS does not recognize modes, does not allow reconfiguring hats from 4-way to 8-way, etc, and basically treats every $300 dedicated flightsim gizmo as an Xbox controller with more buttons. If you don’t use this software, usually 66% to 90% of the controller’s base functionality will not be available. ![]() Using this software is FAR, FAR, better than not. Any dedicated flightsim controller worth buying comes with its own software to program commands into it.This is best done by making a custom keyboard profile (see below). So, the primary goal is to pick out only the commands you will actually use and assign a keyboard key, a combination of keyboard keys, or a controller button to (“controller” here means joystick, yoke, HOTAS, throttle, button panel, mouse, Xbox gamepad, whatever). As you will quickly notice, you will rarely if ever have a need for the vast bulk of these commands or can’t use them until the relevant DLC (gliders, helicopters, live weapons, etc.) comes along. Then expand each group of commands in turn. To see all possible commands, go to Options/Controls/Keyboard/Default and set the filter to ALL. The game has a long, long list of commands.Assigning an input (be it keyboard key(s), controller buttons, or controller axis) to a pre-existing command, and making it “stick”, is what this is all about.So, as I see this as a pressing issue for many, I’m posting it here. NOTE: I wanted to make this a guide and applied to do so but haven’t ever heard back.
