In the process, I came to find where MSFS stores my controller profiles, which can be VERY important to know as a precautionary measure. It's been a while now since I've gotten the hang of creating Controller profiles for various needs and for some specific aircraft. It's been the most important guide I've read and/or watched, (YouTube videos), in the past 2 weeks. I think a lot of people benefited from your post " How to create new controller profiles in MSFS". The TARGET file can greatly reduce the time needed for each aircraft, (. fcf files with the TARGET software and are willing to share the file with others, ( though, one should always use good judgement & scan the file for viruses before installing). I won't be dealing with the Thrustmaster and TARGET settings for at least a week or more but I sense that the TM TARGET software will make short work of the basic job, and then I can ' dial it in' as needed for each plane or helicopter that I want. Later, when I connect my Thrustmaster Warthog controls, I'll create similar " Custom Default" profiles that will have the indicator word " Stick" in the name. I would then name that profile to the specific plane I chose, as you instructed, and go on with setting the switches and operations as needed for that plane.Īll the custom-default profile does, is make it a little faster to create the user-specific, target-aircraft profile, by already having the yoke and throttle, as well as gear and some other basic control assignments, completed. These " Custom-Default" Profiles will have a limited number of actions saved for operation of the control surfaces, throttle quadrant configuration, and perhaps some other, common, and typically applied operations, ( "Gear", Batt/Mags 1&2/Starter/fuel, etc.). Of course, the custom profile name will indicate whether it's for single or multi-engine prop planes that use a Yoke control.Īnyway, I would then open my "Custom Default profile that I wish to apply to say, a single engine Cessna. I'll save that and then I'll repeat the steps to create another " Custom-Default" profile name like " Twin-Engine Yoke-Props", and then again, for " Multi-Engine Y oke-Airliners", and so on. I plan to open the Preset Manager as you instruct, but I'm going to first create a " Custom-Default" profile name like " Single Engine Yoke-Props". Because I'm familiar with, Thrustmaster Warthog's TARGET profiler software, I fully understand and appreciate your article's message.įor the Honeycomb Controls, (which I'm worrking with first), my plan, is to follow the steps you covered, but with one little twist. Here it is “DEFAULT”Īs I had suspected, this information is extremely helpful, SimWare!! In fact, all the information I got from you, (including the article " Hardware/Software compatibility." was just what I needed to know. Under the controller name appears the profile in use. Connect your controller (we use a Saitek/Logitech X52 pro) You can therefore also create new profiles for the mouse and keyboard. MSFS manages the mouse and keyboard assignments the exact same way as This is also valid for the mouse and the keyboard. These are the steps to create an new fully empty (no assignments) profile : This is VERY powerful and gives you full control of your own configuration. You can therefore create for instance a B737 specific profile and a A320 specific profile. Moreover, MSFS allows to create and name different custom profiles. This may seem a heavy task, but it will save a huge amount of time and hassle later. The best is therefore NOT to rely on default assignments and create your own assignments set from scratch. You may think that your device or the simulator is defective. That will lead to conflicts and unwanted behaviors If you blindly rely to the automatic default assignments, you will now have two controls assigned to the throttle. However, you already have a throttle quadrant connected and assigned. You connect a joystick and MSFS automatically assigns the slider to the throttle function.
