![]() Xbox Elite Series 2 controller Image: Microsoft To make the most of the experience, we’ve been using a specific controller to expand the options in our hands. Playing Microsoft Flight Simulator with just a controller is a completely valid option. With Star Wars: Squadrons on the way, it’s time to build the cockpit of your dreams Even after you’ve mastered the controls, you’ll still have to rely on your computer’s keyboard for some more advanced options. Whether you’re using an Xbox controller or a third-party option, a standard game pad will allow you to control most of the operations of any given aircraft.Īs we mention in our Microsoft Flight Simulator beginner’s guide, complete Flight Training first to learn about pulling off nuanced maneuvers on a game pad. If you want to quickly soar into the sky, you can confidentially learn how to pilot an aircraft with the controller you probably already own. For those considering buying a flight stick for Microsoft Flight Simulator, we’ll let you know what to consider when purchasing one or more pieces of gear. In this Microsoft Flight Simulator guide, we’ll show you our favorite control options if you plan on flying with a standard controller. The game supports a plethora of controllers and flight stick replicas, and for newcomers to the flight simulation genre, it can be difficult to find the right hardware and control scheme. For X series TARGET script is pretty simple - for SC my TARGET script is 5000+ program rows monster, including FreePie and EventGhost scrips for file saving operations and OSD.In Microsoft Flight Simulator, not only do you have the freedom to fly wherever you want, but you can also fly however you like. Here my setup, 100% working in both SC and X - dual sticks+peddals+m/k. In X4 you just need to map "run forward" instead of just "forward" Same in EVA.įor fps - gamepad for walking/strafe, mouse for look. So for flying - left hand gamepad, right hand the stick, foots for forward/back(MFG). Much much powerful than simple dual sticks setup. Right hand commands Warthog stick and mouse. the left hand operates 8 analog axes, and 16 buttons. With reverse mount you have access to all gamepad buttons + plus analog thumb sticks with left hand only. I'm using gamepad(hardmount in reversed position) as a left stick - both thumbs for strafe u/d/l/r and roll. It is not flying only :) You have also fps, and a lot of mouse working - there are some 100% mouse things in X series. ![]() Didn't you guys watch The Expanse? I'm Using two Thrustmaster 16000M sticks. Originally posted by Tusc:Dual Joysticks is the only way to fly in space. It's not as configurable as a HOTAS but doesn't cost as much either.įor capital ships you can let the bridge crew fly wheile you issue orders or you can use a controller for precise control but that does seem a bit weird. ![]() If you can get a HOTAS or similar system that has a lot of mappable buttons/sliders on it all the better as you won't have to fumnble with as many keys while actually flying (change weapon loadout/ammo type, select nearest enemy or object, comm selected target, boost, autopilot, toggle flight assist, scan, long range scan, activate container magnet, etc.) I use a Logictech 3D Extreme Pro that has main and alt fire, 4 top side buttons, an 8 way direction hat, 6 buttons on the base and an analog slider for speed control. Keyboard as there are many functions that can be triggered with keys, mouse as the map is geared towards point/click/command (also you can drag a rubberband around multiple objects to select them just like windows), and a joystick for the dogfighting combat. ![]() A combination of keyboard/mouse and joystick. ![]()
