August 24, 20196 yr Hey Guys. In P3DV4, can I fly like normal with my standard joystick/mouse/keyboard setup, but also add an xbox type controller to use for things like moving my view. I would think this could come in handy when autopilot is on and I just want to look around a bit.

August 24, 20196 yr In a word, yes. I highly recommend the paid version of FSUIPC for this. Joel Murray @ CYVR (actually, somewhere about halfway between CYNJ and CZBB)
August 24, 20196 yr Author thanks for the reply. So if I go that route. The main feature I want is panning when in spot plane view, or perhaps the cockpit. Can I use the xbox controller AND the joystick hat switch? Or does it only allow you to have one or the other? 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
August 25, 20196 yr You should be able to do both. There are lots of Youtube videos that show how people have set up their controllers with FSUIPC. For example, https://youtu.be/SG0IwXPpEqg, https://youtu.be/I75IMi-mjx0, and https://youtu.be/Opf7PVTXmU0. I'm sure that the Avsim community would be happy to help you out if you get the paid version of FSUIPC and have further questions.

August 28, 20196 yr Author thanks guys. I've started playing around with it. All is working so far on the controller. Still trying to figure out how exactly I'm going to use it. For now I have basic up,down,left,right and a couple views for each to look around the cockpit and at instruments. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
