I have searched and can't find a way to unbind key assignments using MSFS 2024. If someone has way of doing this, I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

IIRC place your mouse cursor over the binding 'window' and tap the back space key.

Thanks for the reply. I have seen that before, but most people can't get it to work. What do you mean by "the binding window?"

if you go to your controls select what you want either throttles joystick, click the filters on bottom to assigned , than go to the key you want to delete press the cog wheel to the right than press the delete assigned control

Thanks Pete. That was the first thing I thought of also, but it doesn't work for me. I wonder why there is "unbind" button on the UI but you can't click on it?

The binding window is where you select what gets mapped to your controller/keyboard. Sometimes you need to click on the assignment you'd like to delete as if you were going to assign a new key/button to it, then press escape or wait for it to time out before pressing backspace or delete on that assignment. When it works correctly, your mouse should highlight the assignment when you hover over it, and then you can press backspace when it is highlighted to delete the assignment. Hope this makes sense.

As mentioned above, you do need have the correct controller selected (the list on the left hand side of the screen). So, if it's a keyboard assignment, make sure your keyboard is selected... a joystick assignment, make sure the joystick is selected, etc.

If none of this works, it could be because the controller profile got corrupted... you could try duplicating the profile and then try again in the duplicated profile. If it works you can then delete the original profile.

Imo there is a bug of sorts in 2024.  If you leave the keyboard set to 2024 transversal profile the default unbind is backspace (or delete I can't remember).  But if you change the keyboard profile to 2020 transversal, it unbinds the unbind key LOL.  Seems like an oversight as part of the 2020 profile.

I'm curious if hovering my mouse over the unbind button does indeed work.  Never tried it yet.

This is good to know! Explains why things work differently for different people.

This is from memory, but I think I click on the assignment I want to remove and, while the cursor is still in the box, I click DEL and then click Backspace.  

If you just click DEL, it thinks you want DEL to be the assignment.  It's a bit like bringing up children - sometimes you need to tell them twice so they know that you mean it...

I found this on YouTube

Having read the above I cannot delete a key assignment.

Found a way, with the bind highlighted, hit the backspace key !
