Huddison doesn't like 2024 controller setup.

Featured Replies

Last night I made a couple more tweaks to my controls and it was slow, but not crazy slow like over the weekend.  Maybe 15-30 seconds instead of 30-60 (seriously, a single click could take a full minute+ at times).  

So, definitely an inconsistent issue.  I'm sure most of us aren't changing our controls enough to maybe even notice.

    Looks like nobody watched the video before commenting. A spinning circle every time you click on something is worthy of complaint.  

  • Actually I find the controller setup pretty intuitive. There is room for improvement though. By the way, who the **** is Huddison and why should I care about him?

  • I mapped my controllers without any issues and they still hold and work from aircraft to aircraft like I setup from the beginning. There are some quirks but nothing to post a YT video about. Unless yo

Controller setup is fine once understood. What drives me crazy is the lag when switching between setups.

The program should give you an interactive tutorial on the controller setup.

 

Once you understand it, it's great.   I've stopped using 3rd Party addons to manage different setups for different aircraft.

Instead of bashing each other, I'd like to get either a ready "profile" to install control settings, Written simple manual with clear steps or a good video ( I have not seen yet in YT)..

 

I found this SimHanger video to be very good in explanation:

All you need to do is look at a video about controller setup in 2024 to see it is terrible,. unless you have the brain of a brick. 

Why would I look at a video?  I actually own and use MSFS2024.  The controller setup is slightly different, but not worse than in 2020 once you have used it for a few minutes.  "Brain of a brick" seems more appropriate of someone relying on YouTubers instead of first-hand knowledge...

Yes, I second your idea...some actual documentation by the actual creators would be nice, but that's too much to ask these days.   I figured it out a couple of months ago, because I don't quite (but almost) have bricks for brains, but it wasn't easy, and there are still some questions I have about the entire system, similar to what @ark asks earlier in this thread.

It's actually very powerful in the end, but getting there is not easy.

So.. how do you get there? I use mouse clicks, keyboard (for gear up-down, flaps and brakes) and Logitech Extreme 3d Pro-stick ( for primary flight controls and cock-pit camera and the outside camera). Where do I start ? What should be found on different phases etc.?

How painfully accurate, lol

There actually ARE some useful Youtube vids on this subject.  Just not the one linked in post # 1 in this thread -- that's not a helpful video.  The SimHangar one linked above is pretty good though.

Given our lack of documentation, find a good vid is my best advice.  It just takes time, even for experienced people like us.  I don't know any Finnish curse words, except maybe Tiki-Talk (Esa Tikkanen) hockey-cuss words, but I'm sure you will create new Finnish curse words to describe the controls system.  I know I made up some new English swear words during my learning process, but I can't repeat them here.

My 2024 is still largely unused after trying in December to get controls to resemble my well working 2020 settings.. No...

Took me awhile, but I finally found the video that that took out the confusion for me. 

Its not from one of the top guys, but I found the video simple and easy to understand what 2024 was trying to achieve.

It really helped me a lot  when I first started.

Hope this can also help you.
