I had little trouble assigning joystick buttons to 'actions' in 2020 but even after watching 2 or 3 youtube videos I am ready to throw in the towel. I just want to create a special profile for say piston engined aircraft.

Things such as Specific Control Name which is showing NONE and is locked ie I can't change it.

I search for Camera and then select Toggle External View then press button 2 and it displays button 7.

All I want to do is set up a profile for all (say) piston engined aircraft with the following button assignments (I am using names I see in 2020)

Button Assignment

1 Brake

2 Camera Cockpit/External view toggle

3

4

5

6 Landing gear toggle

7 Elevator Down

8 Elevator Up

9 Flaps Increase

10 Flaps Decrease

11 Parking Brake toggle

Can anyone suggest correct sets to do this please? Obviously only the first 1 or 2 assignments are required as I guess the rest will be the same procedure.

Thanks.

Far too complex a topic that requires constant back and forth to explain. Coming from 2020 I, too, was leery of how I would manage with the controls set up in '24 but, after watching a number of YT uploads and using chatGPT (invaluable but needs prodding and do NOT accept everything it tells you as the gospel truth), have more or less understood how '24 works.

Try a 'msfs2024 controls set up' search in YT (perhaps narrow it down to your hardware) and go through the list. There's one by AirborneGeek and one by Huddison that helped me a lot.

It's a step-by-step process so my advice is don't rush it.

Best of luck, mate!

Thanks Tony. I'm just not dumb it seems.
