Thanks for these helpful videos. You've made it possible to enjoy this great Sim instead of pulling out my hair in frustration. Especially helpful are the tips of which of the myriad, related options for controller mapping, are the ones to use. Now, if you could put up a video especially related to mapping a standard yoke or joystick for flying the big commercial jets, I'd be very grateful. I don't really want to buy all the expensive, jet-related controllers (at this time). But right now, I can't even get off the ground with a standard joystick in the A320. Thanks!

@signmanbob3834 3 года назад

Everyone needs to try "Axis and Ohs" by Lorby. It makes setting up controllers soooo very easy and accurate. Plus it has a feature that provides virtual FIP gauges. It's the best! Also it works with P3Dv5 and FSX.

@johnmilford4603 3 года назад

Hi Mark . Very nicely done sir . Clear and easy to follow for the newcomer and a good refresher for more seasoned simmers . The only can of worms that i`d like you to untangle . Would be the search for quality and perfomance balance graphicaly . This should probably wait untill both the red and green team have their latest models out . But MSFS 2020 being such a brute to run even on modern hardware . Any extra nuggets of wisdom on getting the best out of our systems , can only be a good thing . I know it`s a big subject . And peoples systems and hardware can vary hugely . There must be a core of card and sim settings that are big performance changers . As i say ,probably nearer the end of the year would be better to cover up to date hardware . ( I may have my 3080 by then ....maybe ) Keep up the good work sir .

@willw234 Год назад

Thanks for all your videos, they have been a great help to get me started. I must be missing somethings obvious though - you have rudder pedals connected, but you use the twist on the joystick for rudder. Why? How do you configure the pedals to work with the joystick? I cannot figure out how to do it because they are under different profiles.

@SimHangerFS Год назад

The flight stick has the option to enable or disable rudder (when linked together by cable). I can also just turn off the rudders via usb and use the joystick etc.

@georgesiebes 3 года назад

Hi Mark, great video, many thanks. Just to let people know, you can also connect the PS4 controller (for Drone flying) but you need to set it up, no OOB settings offered. I guess it's a Pepsi Cola / Coca Cola thing. Using Mark's instructions and you'll be in business soon. btw Cant wait for the Honeycomb Beta Throttle, ordered it months ago.

@jtalleyfl79 Год назад

Great content. Followed easily. I am having an issue after I program the switches my only option on flying is default and not the custom profile I have. I'm new to MSFS but cant seem to fly with the new setup. Thanks in advance

@SimHangerFS Год назад

You need to go to preset manager and duplicate default profile, give it another name, save and then make changes to the new profile. Apply and save after making any changes.

@jasonthompson101 2 года назад

Mark great video and I found it to be very clear and concise. I do have one question though? When flying GA aircraft I presume its better to use the joystick rather than a Quadrant of some sort?

@SimHangerFS 2 года назад

Depends on your preference.

@wrap239 3 года назад

Another great video Mark! I doubt these features exist or you probably would have mentioned them... Can a controller profile be tied to a specific aircraft when selected? Also, is there a button repeat feature like FSX and P3D (I.e. one click, fast, and slow)? Thank you, Don

@SimHangerFS 3 года назад

Hi Don, no on the profile being auto selected for an aircraft. Yes some functions do have the button repeat feature. Take care.

@wrap239 3 года назад

Just noticed FSUIPC 7 has been released for MSFS. This will probably make this possible.

@CMACJAZZ 3 года назад

Hi Mark, Just recapping this " how to Video" excellent instruction on set up great tip to remind us to do the basics with the windows / game controller calibration initially. All though not 100% associated with the video above can you tell me if and how I set up a keyboard button to auto adjust barometric pressure on the fly ie QNH, in P3D it's button "B" where is the or is there a control to be found A/P maybe for barometric adjustment? Thank again Mark. Charlie

@SimHangerFS 3 года назад

Hi in MSFS the default is also B. It can be set to a button. Above MSL can also be set but is not configured by default.

@OrionK-oq2ss Год назад

Tryied setting up my VKB NXT EVO joystick using this method. First, i configured it through VKB setup manager and MSFS 2020 wouldn't read the X and Y axis so I tried this method through the Microsoft setup and now MSFS 2020 won't recognize the joystick at all. It is a great video though, I'm sure I did something incorrect. Been fighting with setting this stick up for three days and can't seem to get it to work. Thank you for the content.

@ede8193 3 года назад

Great info on this! Question...when i take off i have trouble keeping my plane straight, it's kinda all over the place lol, is this just a matter of maybe sensitivity for my rudder? i do have some dead zone setup, OR do i need to trim it?

@SimHangerFS 3 года назад

Ed E , sounds like you may need a bit of both perhaps? 😁

@franzbri 3 года назад

Thank you for your VERY useful videos🙏👍 Problem: Flaps, parking brake, landing gear etc randomly keeps turning on/off while in flight. Help would be greatly appreciated.

@SimHangerFS 3 года назад

Hi Frans, there could be a number of reasons for this. Check calibration in windows. Check that there is not another binding for the same action somewhere conflicting with your profile. If using honeycomb kit download latest drivers/config. Hope this helps.

@BlakeBlackstone 2 года назад

Thanks a lot for this tutoiral. It got me up and running with my HOTAS. But I'm having some issue where I can take off and fly just fine but once I land at my arrival point, my plane refuses to drive straight and makes me do loops or do a 180 and I cannot drive to the gate. I looked online and some people said that maybe it was something about the rudder being assigned to the HOTAS AND the keyboard at the same time but the results were inconclusive and I don't really know what I am doing. Do you know how I can fix this problem? Also the nose up and nose down thing only moves the lever between 4 and 5 and nowhere else.

@SimHangerFS 2 года назад

Make sure you have AI pilot and pilot assist for rudder etc. switched off. Check your configured under control options…you could have two functions assigned to your throttle or flight stick.

@johnwilliam8366 3 года назад

@Jestey6 3 года назад

Hi Mark. A question, well 2 actually, if I may. Regarding the Xbox controller and the settings. When I use the Camera/Showcase/ Free mode it's possible to look up and down. The problem I have is that it's natural for me to pull back to go up and push forward to go down, as in elevator control. However the camera controller is setup to do the opposite. Push the top of the right button forward, and it looks up, pull back and it looks down. The settings list shows 'External Camera', and view up and down, when I tried to reverse these I got in a right pickle, and ended up with an addition Profile, which I deleted. In addition my mouse, a Logitech M310, wireless, is combined with the keyboard using a unifying USB plugin. The mouse settings (default) show a multitude of operations. e.g. In the 'Assigned'/ Cockpit Camera list UNZOOM is shown as Mouse wheel down, and Zoom as MW up . However only the right button has any effect, the wheel and left button do nothing. Any ideas/advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Noel

@SimHangerFS 3 года назад

Hi Noel, I have just released a video on the camera settings this may help. You can definitely change/reverse the look up and look down actions. In the default profile delete both key mappings...make sure you have your gamepad selected... (I think it will be the 'R' key). Change to what you want it to be and save under another profile setting. You can not overwrite the default profiles. Make sure the changes you make are under the External Camera when doing so. Note this will only apply in External mode unless the change the button mappings in the other modes. With regards to the mouse...I'm a bit baffled by this. Check in the camera profile settings (under General/Camera) that your Zoom is set to manual and not auto. Do the same in the cockpit mode from the top toolbar/camera/cockpit. Hope this helps. Regards

@Jestey6 3 года назад

@@SimHangerFS Hi Mark. I looked again and this time actually read what you had written. “When all else fails, read the users handbook”, springs to mind. I now see you are saying alter the Default and then save as a new profile. I’ll give that a go tomorrow. Many thanks Noel

@changi7270 2 месяца назад

Hi, Mark, I have previously taken your advice when setting-up bindings for my Honeycombs A and B. As I am having a few 'niggles' with my MSFS (not related to bindings), I am going to do do a fresh install of MSFS. Can you please advise me on, or give me a link to, instructions on how to do this without losing my bindings? A couple of months ago, I bought the Turtle Beach rudder pedals, and they have remained in their carton until my MSFS is free of small glitches. At that time, I will take advantage of your set-up video....as I did with my Honeycombs A and B....and be up-and-running again. Mark, would appreciate any help...

@SimHangerFS 2 месяца назад

Hi, no way to save bindings manually. They are saved as part of your MS account in the cloud. On reinstall (on same MSFS account) they should reinstall automatically. Works 95% of the time.

Hello sir! I am a subscriber and have been following you for almost a year. Having a technical issue that I’m sure a simply one for you, but I can’t figure it out. Using Alpha Flight controls - flying 172 - properly configured - I believe I removed any possible conflicts (fsuipc & mobiflight) however, when I go to full throttle, the sim pulls the throttle back, not allowing power sufficient for t/o. What I’m I doing wrong?

Firstly thank you for your helpful and informative information. I would be grateful for any information for successful setting up for Thrust master TCA quadrant and FBW Airbus after FS2020 update 6. Have reviewed most information and videos to no avail. TCA firmware and software updated to latest. FS2020 sensitivity settings set to zero except for reactiveness at 100%. FLYPAD settings in FBW Airbus for TCA seem not to work correctly and cannot be saved. Do not map to FBW in cockpit throttle. For simplicity would be grateful to know FS2020 sensitivity settings after FS2020 update 6 and FBW update 7 Stable. Not interested in development or experimental. These cause crashes to blue screen and have bugs. This topic is of interest to many people. The FBW application has been and remains unstable after FS2020 update 5. A great pity as before update 5 FBW was a great product but now a high maintenance time consuming application which detracts from the previous high enjoyment factor. Thank you for any comments.
