November 20, 20241 yr Sorry for my ignorance if this exists but, I really wonder how we can transport at least hardware setting files from MSFS2020 to MSFS 2024 ? I can not make or remember all the settings again for the controllers. Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks to all.

November 20, 20241 yr I think a good idea (at least it's what I did) is to run 2020 on one monitor and 2024 on another monitor. And then go the controller settings in each. Since you are still in 2D mode it doesn't take much horsepower. And make the changes. Then leave 2020 in preflight and start a flight sitting on the runway in 2024 and get all the assignments the same as they were in 2020. You have the 2020 settings right there on one monitor to remind you what they all were. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

November 20, 20241 yr Get your cell phone out and take pictures of your controller settings in MSFS2020 and once you figure out how to navigate the controller settings in the new sim transpose the settings. I have not installed the full sim as yet but this was what i did when i was in the tech alpha and realized the boneheads at Asobo made it a royal pain to get the new sim configured with no default profiles for POPULAR sim products. You re going to be doing a lot of config work and testing in the new sim until you have some semblance of familiarity so keep a very open mind and try not to lose your patience Edited November 20, 20241 yr by Maxis AMD Ryzen 9800X3D/ Asus ROG Strix B650E F Gaming WiFi / Asrock Taichi 9070XT / 32GB G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo DDR5 6000 / 2x ADATA XPG 8200 Pro NVME / Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 / Seasonic Vertex 1000w PSU / Lian Li LanCool II Mesh Performance / Asus VG34VQL3A / Topping E70 Velvet DAC & L70 Amp /Sennheiser HD660s2 Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke + TCA Sidestick + TFRP Rudders
November 20, 20241 yr Author Whole day, I just tried to make the hardware settings and still not finished yet. I could not fly a full flight yet 😄 Intel i7-9700K - AMD 7900 XT (VRAM 20GB) - 32 Gb Ram - SSD Drive - Win10 x64 - Samsung 43" 4K TV - Quest 3 VR

November 21, 20241 yr There's a really handy little tool on FsTo: https://flightsim.to/file/79474/fsprofiles It'll grab all your profiles and generate an HTML (or XML) report. The HTML formatting is a bit odd on my system, but all the information is there. This is an image grabbed from FsTo - not from my sim (!). There are also utilities out there that will back up/restore your profiles, but they'll only work for 2020 (ie. won't import into 2024). Edited November 21, 20241 yr by Adamski_NZ

This setup wasn't originally intended for flight simming, although it's good for that purpose; I started running dual monitors nearly 30 years ago, at CalTrans, with Bentley MicroStation CADD back in the late '90's. Every civil engineer or draftsman I know long ago gave up on single monitors, as soon as graphics workstations became available with the ability to run dual (or more) monitors. When you are trying to juggle a plan view, profile view, orthometric views, and maybe a half-dozen detail cuts into some complex structure like a highway bridge, having to do this on a single monitor is like putting yourself into a straight jacket and trying to play golf. Once you've done any kind of technical work on a PC with 2 or more monitors, you would rather shoot yourself in the foot than go back to a single-monitor PC. Even my partner, a retired accountant, felt that her productivity using Excel and the FisCal Accounting software was improved on dual monitors.
