So for the new items that we didnt have in 2020, does it keep those and replace the other stuff with what we had in 2020 or do we need to then go and assign all the items in 2024 that we need that wasnt in 2020? Like Shift+C to get in and out of the plane as an example.

No, the new items are not in the 2020 keyboard profile; they need to be added manually. I assume some of the 2024 assignments conflict with things in the 2020 assignments, but the most common ones (Shift-C, Alt-N, Enter) can be added without conflict.

  • And why, why for god sakes they did not simply keep the keys from MSFS? Was there ANY reason e.g. to put «set altitude» on the comma insted of «B». It is suchrthings that leave me shaking my head in p

  • As far as views go, since they have been changed Crtl + C will get you in and out of the plane To move your viewpoint in the plane Shift+E raises Shift+Q lowers Shift+W goes closer to Pan

  • In the control assignments, there's a keyboard profile with the 2020 keyboard assignments. Select that, and everything will be familiar again. (It's what I did.)

How do you do a fast launch for 24?

I use MSFS Add-On Linker and set Fast Launch from there.

Great to know. I thought about it and feel 2020 will be in my past by the 1st of the year and wont be going back to it, so I'm just going to learn the new keys which for me are all just about views anyway. Others will find this helpful so thanks again for the follow-up.

You can choose the 2020 keyboard controls from settings and that works the way you expect them to from 2020. What a pain however having to go back and forth while setting up all the controls. Half the time the joystick controls don't work the first time and some keyboard settings didn't stick. IE i set RIght ALt and up arrow to pan closer to the instruments. However this didn't stick when I loaded a new plane.

Hello gang.  I am having trouble with two bindings.

1. How to setup parking brake to engage/disengage with a button on my Alpha Yoke

2. How to setup flaps to go up or down a notch with the flaps lever on my Alpha Yoke.

Any insight or idea is really appreciated.

Sincerely,

1 - Toggle parking brake

2 - flaps increase/decrease

(cant remember where, use searchbar in controls page)

Thanks for your quick reply.

I tried those.  Problem I ran into was.....

1. The toggle parking brake would disengage but not re-engage.

2. The flaps increase/decrease would bring the flaps up all the way or down all the way but not incrementally.

Any ideas?

What is the equivalent to the MSFS 2020 keys in cockpit where I could move around freely in the cockpit and cabin with the arrow keys?

Just checked my assignments, and it works. Do you have buttons or switches? At the right of the control assignment, do you see a number in a white circle? If so, theres a conflict, meaning that button is assigned to another control too.

The same. Shift + WASD

Question: How do you delete or remove a bound button?

I put a binding to a button by mistake and can't see how to just remove it (back to nothing).

Does that make sense?

Since recently - it worked earlier today before - I have a new problem, my joysticks (TM Airbus Stick and Throttle Quadrant) are not recognized anymore in MSFS2024. Well, they are there. Axes move in Windows. But nil nada niente in 2024?! Calibrating in the ATR not possible. No movements whatsoever. Anybody else? Restart and reinstalling TM driver did not help.

EDIT all working in the Pitts Special, just took off KBOS. but still no control Listening in the control setting, no movements there when I move the stick. Strange

EDIT2 all also working in the A320v2, though no Reverse Thrust (despite throttle calibrated in the EFB, movements seen there) and again no axes movement in the control listener... will give in for today

I have tripled checked that there are no conflict assignments and still have the same behavior.  I give up.  I will wait a couple of days and see if anyone else runs into the same issue.  This release has been a disaster!!!!!!

So we’ve gone from 10 saveable custom camera views to 4?

No, there are 10 custom cameras, but there are no key combos pre-assigned for saving and calling up cameras above 4. You need to assign your own in the Controls menu.

Setting up the controls is pretty much a mini game on its own. Especially since many functions are bugged.

Anyone know what file contains one's modified settings? I found the likes of "Gamepad_2024_Planes.xml" and "Keyboard_2024_Planes.xml" but looking in them, they do not contain one's actual settings.
