MSFS Controller Setups

[Bill A 68]

Hi is there a mod for the MSFS controller menu where you can choose a master setting and it switches all your different devices to it's proper settings? For example instead if me choosing my yoke, bravo, sim panel and more to PMDG737 setting then when I choose the Fenix I have to go and to each device again and change it. Thinking If there was a master button where if I choose PMDG 737 it will change all the different devices to it's proper plane.

I'd be keen to know if such a thing exists. I also have multiple device/controller settings (matched to different FSUIPC profiles) and find having to go through up to four selections each time I change aircraft a total pain.

X-Plane does it much better - profiles can be set up on a per-aircraft basis.

Hello,

If you are geek enough, you can use Spad.neXt

You will find a lot of tutos on Youtube and you can upload shared prebuilt profiles.

I was using fsuipc but now I know Spad this is my favorite because you also have LVAR.

You assign aircrafts to your profiles and then the profile is automatically selected.

But I agree, MS should have a master

It would be nice to load these on a per-aircraft basis -- I wonder if this has ever been brought up as a feature request on the MS forum?

It would be a nice convenience that's for sure.

It would be and I would support it for sure.  That being said I only have an old Cessna Trim Wheel I use for nose-wheel steering (all planes), a TM Boeing Edition Yoke and a TM BE TQ.  I'm able to use the same buttons and axes for all planes but the one feature I miss is sensitivities per plane.  That alone would work for me.

I've always wondered how a game that calls itself a simulation uses only one profile for such a variation of aircraft.
It proves again that the sim part in Flightsimluator is not taken very seriously and that this version of FS has the main focus on one thing: eye-candy.
The more i use it, the more disappointment it generates. The breaking point to shelve it is getting closer with each update.

Seriously?

I agree, controller profiles would be welcome, even more as the variety of planes grows. However, I feel taking this as the main criterium for judging a simulator is just off.

My 2c.

Kind regards, Michael

A drop down list for all different controller profiles instead of scrolling between them would be welcome, equally for all aircraft.

Wait. Can't you just create profiles for each aircraft?

Yes we can, but then when we select the aircraft we have to pick the correct profile for each of the controlers...

In other simulators you can assign profiles to aircraft so that when you load a given aircraft  the corresponding profile is automatically loaded for each controller...

Maybe it's just me. You have to click to choose the aircraft in the first place, then click again for your livery... click some more for your weather, click to choose your Airport.. One more click to change the profile doesn't seem all that onerous...

It is... because if you have 2 or more controllers you'll have to select the profile for each one 😕

Lorbys Axis and Ohs does this for MSFS, P3D and probably Xplane, too.

XP11 and 12 have that by default. When you build a profile you can then associate it with various aircraft.

Same in DCS and IL-2.

It's not a BIG issue, but it is an inconvenience that MSFS doesn't do this. I fully expected MSFS to have profiles "stick" to an aircraft (or livery) once selected.
Especially when you have more than a few profiles it gets tedious to select another since you can only click "next" and then have to wait for the profile to load before you can click "next" again. At least it should be a drop-down menu, and combining all controllers in a single profile (with subprofiles for each controller).
