Within the row of controller names, the selected controller will be highlighted and will show the in-game profile that it is currently using (in this case, the default keyboard profile). In my case, my stick/throttle HOTAS is off the right margin. If you have more controllers than will show up at once, use these arrows to find the ones you can’t see. Note the scroll arrows on the ends of the row. The new Options//Controls menu looks like this:Īt the top, just below the title line, is a row showing all the controllers you currently have plugged in and the game has detected. IOW, you will need both to get the most out of your expensive dedicated flightsim controllers.

Note that in-game controller profiles are separate and distinct from any profiles created by your controller’s own software, and they do not conflict.

The only default in-game profile I haven’t seen a reason to change so far is the mouse. Asobo’s, you must create your own in-game profiles for most of your controllers. So, if you want to configure your controls to your taste vs. You can’t even adjust axis sensitivity without creating a custom in-game profile. Most of these seemingly cannot actually be edited (as in, they might appear to accept changes, but they don’t save).

MSFS has default profiles for a wide range of dedicated flightsim controllers (plus keyboard and mouse).

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. I found it to often be too much information to take in if I just wanted to understand the basics or concepts before really diving into it.NOTE: I wanted to make this a guide and applied to do so but haven’t ever heard back.

Reading guides or manuals too can be really good. Check out some basic Autopilot tutorials on youtube. (unless something has changed).Īs others said. Usually you would have a A/T (Autothrottle) too in many aircrafts.ĪFAIK VNAV doesnt work in fs2020. HDG is like you say, holding a heading (i.e. One lets you climb/decend based on your airspeed and the other sets a rate f/pm. If you are not on VNAV and want to decend or climb you can select either FLC (Flight Level Change) or VS. RNAV (Area Navigation) is basically a navigation method where the computer grabs information from nearby navaids to create a more direct route. That is where VNAV comes in and lets the aircraft follow whatever lateral information is entered in the FMS ++ So you enter your flight plan in your FMS and LNAV follows it laterally, but it wont tell the aircraft at what altitude. Basically LNAV (Lateral Navigation) and VNAV (Vertical Navigation) is a part of the flight guidance system.
