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.
You also might appreciate the tip that the Cessna152 training machine is setup with "Carb Heat" on, making it impossible to reach desired altitute in desired speed as well as the other way round for some exercises 😉 If you want accomplish an A rating for everything make sure you push that damn thing in before you go otherwise it will be pretty much impossible.
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!
I know I'm late to the party, but I've just applied these settings using the game pad and wow this has made a massive difference, I now find I often use the pad instead of my hotas joystick, coz I'm lazy, cheers mate 👍
Love your sensitivity calibrations. It feels a trillion times better than default controller settings. I'm actually able to get consistent A's on my flight school training because I'm no longer fighting with the sticks over sensitivity.👍🏾
Have done exactly that, bought the series s just for MFS and love it. Have the series x on order but who knows when the hell that will be available so gave in and just had to play MFS as soon as it was released. Awesome game and thanks for taking the time to upload your videos, very helpful indeed. 🇦🇺👍🏼
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
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.
@@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.
Amazing job on the console version, played the PC version the last year and love it. Played series x version last night and its wonderful. What a heck of a deal the Series S is though god damn.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am new to xbox and new to msfs so your sensitivity settings were extremely helpful as I ascend the (steep) learning curve.
Thanks. Suprised actually how well gamepad works of course little too sudden and really have to be gentle with your movements, but after few hours of use it actually feels good. Basically I haven’t used mouse at all and keyboard shortcuts during takeoff and landing, but otherwise 6 hours of flight time with gamepad.
Thanks for the tutorial, I'm loving this simulator and you have made my experience much better. Now I can buzz the control tower with much better precision 😁
Great video. Thanks for the good advice! I also bought the xbox Sries S a few days ago and only because of this great simulator. For an RC pilot like me an absolute dream! Greetings from Berchtesgaden
Thanks for the video. I will try your controller settings. We need to learn to love and use the controller because yokes and hotas will be difficult to buy new over the coming weeks.
@@Huddison its really great, >!! I got the version for 120€ I hope this game gets updates for a long time. Omg I really need to learn coming from PlayStation on how to control certain things, loollll I just love the relaxiness this sim has, we need that.
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.
Nice vid man been lovin it on series s first time with a sim so was good to see your vids explaining stuff otherwise I’d be just staring at the options screen with a clueless look on my face lol
Great video, most helpful and informative. Looking forward to the HOTAS one video as I gave up trying to set it up as I wanted to try out the new fs on my Xbox series X. Thanks
Awesome video Sir !!!! Series S ordered can collect this morning ! Not looking forward to the download though ! Cant wait, thanks for the great review ! 😎
I also have the series s and I am very pleased on how it performs, I have the Thrustmaster hotas it makes it a lot easier to fly. Have to see how the turtle beach velocity yoke system’s performs. Thanks for the video.👍
Just gotta say! Your Channel is awesome 👌🏼..thank you for being so easy to understand and work with..have learned a lot from you. Happy i found and subscribed to your Channel
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!
@@tel7625 yes, I do still have to pad sensitivity assist setting On. I might try turning that Off just to see the difference, but for the last few months I have had it set to On
@@daneav8 I just tried default sensitivity settings the other day, with that pad assist on as well, and to me they seemed fine, was flying the 172. I switched back and forth between Huddison settings and default and I could not really tell much difference personally.
Thank you. Do you aim to fly/play multiplayer? If so, you will need Xbox Live in order to do so. I just go with Gamepass over buying the Sim again ( I own it on Steam on PC 😫), as that includes Live and other games I can mess around with ;)
Thanks, cool to see…..fyi I maxed at 740 Mbps on my XBox X when downloading MSFS 2020 for XBox…1 gig fibre here in Tokoroa to my home, a part of NZs country wide internet Fibre infrastructure project. Its just about completed now…Microsoft announced last year or the one before they are building a data centre in Auckland to service NZ. So if its up and running that may have explained this high speed..it was varying around 360 Mbps to 550 Mbps…😊
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 . I used it with my controlers settings , and i found it "smoother/easier" when it's ON . Does it reduce the simulation from real Cessna ??? i don't know !?! --------- with the pleasure to see your future videos ;-)
Thanks for those great comments. I don't know much about how the setting you mentioned, affects aircraft like the Cessna I tried it and did not find that it made much of a difference to an aircraft's performance.
@@Huddison thank you for your quick response. I just improved, but especially on the right stick because I had put the same as on the left. I keep my -70% sensitivity on my stick left, which suits me well. Good flights to you !
Is it possible to map camera option views (showcase/external) to a button on the gamepad? The normal way is a bit cumbersome especially if you plan to make YT content, by the time you chose a camera angle your aaircraft already cruised over half the city lol.
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.
Lots of people still having difficulties with updating - it really should've been sorted out by now. I hope you get to use your full Premium package soon.
Great video and I instantly copied your settings to my Xbox Series S. Question, could you maybe do a video on how to configure camera modes on Xbox? Especially toggling Instrument View as it's quite impossible to properly read some instruments or the PFD. On PC Instrument View works like a charm, on Xbox I don't see how to get it to work.
I was so shocked at how terrible the sensitivity settings were by default. I'm a veteran of FSX, I played that on an Xbox 360 controller for the vast majority of the 450 hours I did on there. I've had to bring my sensitivity down to -100%. I still pitch up and pitch down with extreme violence and I'm still not sure how to make that more gentle and smooth
What a wonderful video. Thank you. I’ve tried everything and it just doesn’t work. I have attached a wireless mouse as well as a wired mouse and it just doesn’t see it. Although I am playing the cloud version and on an original Xbox base model. Not sure if that has something to do with it but I am receiving my new Xbox series X in a couple of weeks. Hope you can help concerning the mouse issue
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.)
I’m just throwing this out there. Every time I press ‘let’s fly’ it always positions me on the right hand side of the cockpit. I’d be grateful for any help. Another great video btw.
Thurustmaster put out a tweet today saying that both they and MSFS2020 devs are aware of the mapping issues and working on a fix. They also posted a diagram showing the default mappings. The prompts may not match on screen, but testing it tonight myself their mapping is working.
Hi I have been viewing all of your videos on setup of hotas and find them very easy to follow, I’m sure I viewed one on how to set up the trigger to use for braking but can’t find it and don’t want to go thru them again can you advise what video the guide to setting up the trigger to use for braking is on thamks,jim
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.
Yes it's puzzling as to why Downloading/updating MSFS on either the Xbox or PC is hugely frustrating for many. Wired connections have a much better time of things, in general.
How do manual sensitivity adjustments compare with the Assisted Controller Sensitivity setting in the Assistance Options menu? I would guess that each aircraft would potentially require slightly different manual settings, whereas the Assisted sensitivity may apply a more generic setting to all aircraft?
Very helpful info. Thanks. I‘d like to stick to flying with the controller, but I‘m having trouble managing the throttle. Any idea how that could be improved?
@@Huddison I changed my setup to: - throttle on RB + right stick up/down - trim on A and X (brake now on B) Throttle is still digital, but I think it‘s more intuitive and without the annoying clicking sound. Moving the trim feels pretty similar to my real life aircraft (747).
Great video. I’ll give the sensitivity settings a try for the Hotas One as the trim adjustment on the back of the throttle is giving me a hard time to fine tune it, feel like im on a roller coaster when flying the Cessna 152. It always seems to veer right as well, having never played the pc version or flown in real life wasn’t sure if that is what happens or a tweak of the sensitivity on the stick is needed too?
@@scotmash1 Thanks. I looked through all of the planes and noticed it’s on some of the bigger planes, but not the small ones like the Cessna’s. It sounds as though it’s something a mechanic would alter in real life and not from the cockpit. If I go into World map, click on the aircraft tab then that brings up another tab for customization which has “Authority adjustment” for elevator, rudder and aileron which can be changed to +/- 2 degrees. Any idea if this is the tweak you can do if you know which way the plane tries to veer and is trial and error until you find the sweet spot? Guess I can give it a go to see what happens if I set no wind.
this works perfectly BUT with Thrustmaster HOTAS one setup, the Sensitivity Settings do NOT STAY set after restarting the program. So every time I come back to play all my hotas sensitivity settings are back to default. Does anyone else have this problem? Can you please note this for your next video?? thank you!!!
@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
Just had upgrade 10 on Xbox. Trying to fly PC21 - 1st problem controls reversed go left on controller plane goes right etc. Rudder way too sensitive- cannot take off just crashes. So when back to this video and entered & checked the sensitivity ( which had worked great, thank you). So Xbox sensitivities as per video - totally un flyable! What am I doing wrong?
after the update i couldn't use the mouse anymore (right click hold), after i defaulted it went back to normal, however all my other controller buttons are defaulted aswell and after changing the flaps from D-pad up and down to rb + lb they don't work anymore, this game is so badly optimized it makes my head hurt .
Hi. I had the same problem as I had it on pc, so it carried my controls over to this. Just add a mouse and change xbox center back to default, then it will all be good.
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.
New to all of this. Have a Mac and wondering what will work with MFS and my yoke/throttle kit. Will this work on X Box, and which X Box is best? Thanks
I know it could sound weird, but is there an option to set Ascending/Descending buttons to normal(not in reverse as its by default). I want to move trigger up and plane goes up, and when move down, then it goes down. Couldn’t find which is correct option for that.
@@Huddison well, don’t know if it’s trim, couldn’t find such option there. Ususally there is an option to use Invert axis in games, but its by default here, so tried to find where to change. When I push/move left trigger down then aircraft gains altitude, but when I push left trigger up then plane decrease altitude. Hope it’s better to understand, cos I want these controls in reverse - to remove invert axis option 😅
The controller feels flimsy because you are using the non elite series 2 controller. Its more solid when using a controller that has paddles behind the controller. Making it seamless to use the joysticks without taking thumbs off of joysticks.
hi what is the perfect sensivity for the controller i have ps4 double shock what is the perfect sensivity for to fly the 747 up and down little bit slower on the sensivity what is the best settings
Every time I change my sensitivity & some controls & save it & the go through my settings it always goes back to default. Any ideas where I’m going wrong?
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
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.
@@danoboy19 I can't see how you might have missed something during the installation, as it's standard for everyone. I do wonder if somehow you may have turned an option off somewhere - maybe try a USB mouse and see how you fare with that. Other than that, I'll pin your message and see if someone else can come up with a solution.
it seems they cant make the downloads work at all. I get decent speeds but yesterday when i did the update the updater seemed to delete my installation so i have to download it all again. Thats on pc.
@@Huddison its differnet for everyone. I had to download about half a year worth of updates and marketplace content, it was about 150 gigs in total. The speed was crap like 5-10mb but when I disabled my vpn it jumped to 50mb
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.
Love your videos and desperately seeking help! I am using my Xbox and trying to go through the training and have also just tried to fly the 152. Every time I try to use rudder instead of it deflecting and returning to neutral it stays in the deflection it won’t return to neutral. This makes it impossible to stay on center line or make coordinated turns. I have gone to settings and it shows normal there. If anyone can help or guide to help it would be greatly appreciated!! Oh background I am not an actual pilot but I do fly rc so I am aware of control surfaces and trim

This parameters is here ( in french sorry ) : Options => Options d'assistance => Pilotage => Sensibilté de la manette assistée ON/OFF . I used it with my controlers settings , and i found it "smoother/easier" when it's ON . Does it reduce the simulation from real Cessna ??? i don't know !?! --------- with the pleasure to see your future videos ;-)
Thanks for those great comments. I don't know much about how the setting you mentioned, affects aircraft like the Cessna I tried it and did not find that it made much of a difference to an aircraft's performance.
@@Huddison thank you for your quick response. I just improved, but especially on the right stick because I had put the same as on the left. I keep my -70% sensitivity on my stick left, which suits me well. Good flights to you !
@@DiddMag And to you too 🛫
Is it possible to map camera option views (showcase/external) to a button on the gamepad? The normal way is a bit cumbersome especially if you plan to make YT content, by the time you chose a camera angle your aaircraft already cruised over half the city lol.
Yes that's very possible - it should be under Cockpit Camera, in Controls Options.
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.
Lots of people still having difficulties with updating - it really should've been sorted out by now. I hope you get to use your full Premium package soon.
Amazing thank you ✈️🎮 👍
Great video and I instantly copied your settings to my Xbox Series S. Question, could you maybe do a video on how to configure camera modes on Xbox? Especially toggling Instrument View as it's quite impossible to properly read some instruments or the PFD. On PC Instrument View works like a charm, on Xbox I don't see how to get it to work.
Yes got plans for a video on that.
Great content
Thank you
Thanks! this help me much ✈️
Glad it helped!
I was so shocked at how terrible the sensitivity settings were by default. I'm a veteran of FSX, I played that on an Xbox 360 controller for the vast majority of the 450 hours I did on there. I've had to bring my sensitivity down to -100%. I still pitch up and pitch down with extreme violence and I'm still not sure how to make that more gentle and smooth
Add more dead zone and decrease the reactivity to see if it helps.
What a wonderful video. Thank you. I’ve tried everything and it just doesn’t work. I have attached a wireless mouse as well as a wired mouse and it just doesn’t see it. Although I am playing the cloud version and on an original Xbox base model. Not sure if that has something to do with it but I am receiving my new Xbox series X in a couple of weeks. Hope you can help concerning the mouse issue
I don't know re compatibility with mouse & keyboard via cloud MSFS - hopefully someone else can offer useful suggestions.
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.)
That sounds like a helpful tip & always best to use controls that suit you.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m just throwing this out there. Every time I press ‘let’s fly’ it always positions me on the right hand side of the cockpit. I’d be grateful for any help. Another great video btw.
That's a strange one 🤔. See one of the tips here ruclips.net/video/gcFjud7vI1Q/видео.html on how to alter your starting/default position.
@@Huddison That sorted it for me thank you. I don’t recall moving the settings but I suppose I must have.
@@littlenemo14 That's good to hear you fixed it Steve.
Anyone else having a nightmare with the Hotas one? The button mapping is all over the place. I play on the series s for reference
I'll be doing my best to untangle it.
@@Huddison looking forward to it 👌🏻
Same problem here
Thurustmaster put out a tweet today saying that both they and MSFS2020 devs are aware of the mapping issues and working on a fix. They also posted a diagram showing the default mappings. The prompts may not match on screen, but testing it tonight myself their mapping is working.
@@dv8754 Great stuff, please keep us informed.
Hi I have been viewing all of your videos on setup of hotas and find them very easy to follow, I’m sure I viewed one on how to set up the trigger to use for braking but can’t find it and don’t want to go thru them again can you advise what video the guide to setting up the trigger to use for braking is on
thamks,jim
Hi, I think that is in this one: ruclips.net/video/Lf4y_Ke_iKo/видео.html
@@Huddison thank you for your help
Thanks a lot
Always my pleasure.
Great vid! Has anyone figured out liveries yet tho? I’ve been wanting to change it to my favorite airlines but I can’t
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.
Yes it's puzzling as to why Downloading/updating MSFS on either the Xbox or PC is hugely frustrating for many. Wired connections have a much better time of things, in general.
How do manual sensitivity adjustments compare with the Assisted Controller Sensitivity setting in the Assistance Options menu? I would guess that each aircraft would potentially require slightly different manual settings, whereas the Assisted sensitivity may apply a more generic setting to all aircraft?
Interesting thoughts - I really ned to redo this video as I'm constantly adjusting my Gamepad settings, to try and perfect them.
Very helpful info. Thanks.
I‘d like to stick to flying with the controller, but I‘m having trouble managing the throttle.
Any idea how that could be improved?
Throttle is a bit tricky with the gamepad. I find just tapping it (or dabbing it) helps to make small airspeed adjustments.
@@Huddison I changed my setup to:
- throttle on RB + right stick up/down
- trim on A and X (brake now on B)
Throttle is still digital, but I think it‘s more intuitive and without the annoying clicking sound. Moving the trim feels pretty similar to my real life aircraft (747).
👍
Great video. I’ll give the sensitivity settings a try for the Hotas One as the trim adjustment on the back of the throttle is giving me a hard time to fine tune it, feel like im on a roller coaster when flying the Cessna 152. It always seems to veer right as well, having never played the pc version or flown in real life wasn’t sure if that is what happens or a tweak of the sensitivity on the stick is needed too?
I'll be hopefully covering that in my next video ;)
Give left aileron or rudder trim from cockpit
@@scotmash1 Thanks. I looked through all of the planes and noticed it’s on some of the bigger planes, but not the small ones like the Cessna’s. It sounds as though it’s something a mechanic would alter in real life and not from the cockpit. If I go into World map, click on the aircraft tab then that brings up another tab for customization which has “Authority adjustment” for elevator, rudder and aileron which can be changed to +/- 2 degrees. Any idea if this is the tweak you can do if you know which way the plane tries to veer and is trial and error until you find the sweet spot? Guess I can give it a go to see what happens if I set no wind.
@@chrisbird6996 you always best to ai auto trim in those planes
this works perfectly BUT with Thrustmaster HOTAS one setup, the Sensitivity Settings do NOT STAY set after restarting the program. So every time I come back to play all my hotas sensitivity settings are back to default. Does anyone else have this problem? Can you please note this for your next video?? thank you!!!
On PC or Xbox?
The Hotas One is bugged at this moment and pretty unusable. Hopefully a patch will mend it
Hi Huddison, One question under assistive options piloting do you have assisted controller sensitivity no or off have you tried it both ways?
Good question: I have it off, as I didn't see much benefit with it on.
@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
Each aircraft handles differently, so set up sensitivities to suit each one.
Just had upgrade 10 on Xbox. Trying to fly PC21 - 1st problem controls reversed go left on controller plane goes right etc. Rudder way too sensitive- cannot take off just crashes. So when back to this video and entered & checked the sensitivity ( which had worked great, thank you). So Xbox sensitivities as per video - totally un flyable! What am I doing wrong?
Not certain without seeing your setup Ed. Join the Discord as it's easier to post pictures and talk this through there: discord.gg/xDKwFYDsZk
How do you turn on the Cursor for Xbox X Series, I can’t seem to have a cursor in the game. Pressing the left stick does nothing.
Join our Discord, there's a discussion and suggestions in one of the channels there.
My XboxS controllers left stick has stopped working as throttle and roll. Otherwise it works, eg to move the cursor. Any ideas please?
Join our Discord: discord.gg/3kra6JfHZT - we can better help you with this there.
Hello, is a new device like X37 or 777 coming for Xbox?
The 737 might come along eventually.
after the update i couldn't use the mouse anymore (right click hold), after i defaulted it went back to normal, however all my other controller buttons are defaulted aswell and after changing the flaps from D-pad up and down to rb + lb they don't work anymore, this game is so badly optimized it makes my head hurt .
Not sure what's going on there for you. I can imagine it is frustrating though.
I can't use the xbox s|x controller the cursor not showing!! Any help ?
I had that issue too. Plug in a mouse and get rid of all Xbox controller profiles. Restart the program and it should hopefully work.
Hi. I had the same problem as I had it on pc, so it carried my controls over to this. Just add a mouse and change xbox center back to default, then it will all be good.
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.
You'll get used to it.
New to all of this. Have a Mac and wondering what will work with MFS and my yoke/throttle kit. Will this work on X Box, and which X Box is best? Thanks
Do you own a yoke setup already - which one? The Series X is the best way to go on Xbox.
I know it could sound weird, but is there an option to set Ascending/Descending buttons to normal(not in reverse as its by default). I want to move trigger up and plane goes up, and when move down, then it goes down. Couldn’t find which is correct option for that.
Trim has a similar effect to what you're describing - If I am understanding your question correctly.
@@Huddison well, don’t know if it’s trim, couldn’t find such option there. Ususally there is an option to use Invert axis in games, but its by default here, so tried to find where to change. When I push/move left trigger down then aircraft gains altitude, but when I push left trigger up then plane decrease altitude. Hope it’s better to understand, cos I want these controls in reverse - to remove invert axis option 😅
@@Revers69 I'll think on this.
@@Huddison he wants point and shoot pretty much he just wants to invert pitch axis so up is up and down is down - hope this simple explanation helps
The controller feels flimsy because you are using the non elite series 2 controller. Its more solid when using a controller that has paddles behind the controller. Making it seamless to use the joysticks without taking thumbs off of joysticks.
Sounds good
Using the XBox Series X controller how do I zoom in on cockpit instruments to see them closer? Thanks for the videos and help
A USB mouse would be your best bet for that.
Can you plz make a vid on which yokes or sticks are compatible with the Xbox❤️?
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).
@@Huddison how about flight sticks? Like the hotmas
@@xa-124 The hotas One and the Hori hotas are the only options atm.
@@Huddison great thx m8 I luv ur content ❤️
One last question,
Can I get liveries on Xbox?
You didn't say one word about what do "Extremity dead zone" and "Reactivity" mean and do? Thx
I've talked about that in other of my videos.
FYI cache is pronounced 'cash' like an arms cache
hi what is the perfect sensivity for the controller i have ps4 double shock what is the perfect sensivity for to fly the 747 up and down little bit slower on the sensivity what is the best settings
i used you previous game controller and then this they messed it up, Thanks for the update so to speak
Glad to be of help.
Every time I change my sensitivity & some controls & save it & the go through my settings it always goes back to default. Any ideas where I’m going wrong?
Are you getting the option to create/name a new profile?
@@Huddison found out it only happens when I create them. In game the profiles I’ve created r there. Thanks for the reply thou.
Great video thanks! Do you know how to invert y axis look in cockpit view?
I'll get back to you.
Thanks
No problem
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
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.
@@Huddison I will add more dead zone. See how it goes
@@Huddison all so don’t know if it’s me put when I’m in spitfire on the stand I can’t close the little side panel to spitfire to shut the canopy
@@berserkerdog4465 Hmm not sure why that is. Is that on the PC or Xbox version of MSFS?
@@Huddison Xbox I’ve uninstall and try install it agin
Any changes made to the flight simulator since this video was uploaded? Any need to tweek the settings today?
This is my most recent video on an Xbox controller settings; it might have an extra tweak or 2 in there for you.
I see. Is it the same settings for the Xbox One X (not latest Series X) controller? Same as the 360 controller? @@Huddison
I can’t figure out how to add a space in the departure typing.
Using the gamepad you mean - from memory just hit your Y button on the controller.
@@Huddison When you're writing a destination that's two words how do you make a space between them? Must sound dumb, sorry.
I can't pause my plane in the air anymore for some reason the option isn't there.
I missed this comment TJ - did you get it sorted?
Any word on why my game would not have the cursor for the controller I can only go from spot to spot with the d-pad
Is that even when clicking the left stick in?
@@Huddison so you're telling me I have to hit L3 and it'll bring up a cursor for my controller
@@danoboy19 Give it a try
I did with no luck do you think I may have missed click something during the initial setup or am I just having as well of some sort
@@danoboy19 I can't see how you might have missed something during the installation, as it's standard for everyone.
I do wonder if somehow you may have turned an option off somewhere - maybe try a USB mouse and see how you fare with that. Other than that, I'll pin your message and see if someone else can come up with a solution.
it seems they cant make the downloads work at all. I get decent speeds but yesterday when i did the update the updater seemed to delete my installation so i have to download it all again. Thats on pc.
PC has always had difficulties with downloading MSFS - a nightmare.
@@Huddison its differnet for everyone. I had to download about half a year worth of updates and marketplace content, it was about 150 gigs in total. The speed was crap like 5-10mb but when I disabled my vpn it jumped to 50mb
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.
I totally agree with all your points.
Love your videos and desperately seeking help! I am using my Xbox and trying to go through the training and have also just tried to fly the 152. Every time I try to use rudder instead of it deflecting and returning to neutral it stays in the deflection it won’t return to neutral. This makes it impossible to stay on center line or make coordinated turns. I have gone to settings and it shows normal there. If anyone can help or guide to help it would be greatly appreciated!! Oh background I am not an actual pilot but I do fly rc so I am aware of control surfaces and trim
Do you have your rudder mapped to 'Rudder Axis'?
Is there a printable Xbox Controller scheme anywhere? I am searching but nothing yet
Not that I know of - keep searching for us!
