Air Force planners developed a prototype of a propulsive backpack in 1962, and a flight model called the Astronaut Maneuvering Unit (AMU), outfitted with hydrogen peroxide thrusters, reached orbit aboard Gemini 9 in 1966. Adding an Xbox Game Controller (wired or wireless) makes controlling the Drone Cam and Slew really easy and intuitive! MSFS immediately recognizes it and sets up all the bindings by Default.As alluring as it still seems, the vision of a free-flying astronaut was never a sure thing.The CH Manager application has caused problems for some users of CH products. If you do, your mileage may vary! For sure any control input assignments you make outside MSFS will not carry through inside the sim. I have not used any external controller management or calibration applications or drivers.Just make sure you select the correct Profile for each session by using the little scroll bar under each controller in the Controls screen… It is also useful if you need to adjust the Sensitivity settings differently for different aircraft. This is helpful if you want to map your controls differently for different aircraft. You can create multiple binding Profiles for each of your Controllers.This is helpful if you are trying to fine tune or debug things. You can actually access and change Control bindings while inside the live sim (use Esc to get to the main menus).This is also true for the other Views - Exterior, Instrument, etc. Depending on your hat, you can map 4 or 8 directions. Make sure you delete any currently assigned Cockpit View commands for the Hat and then create new bindings using “Cockpit Look”.
The secret to smooth panning around the Cockpit is to use the “Cockpit Look” commands. A lot of the MSFS default controller profiles use the “Cockpit Quickview” commands which snap back to center.This will control all throttles on multi-engine aircraft simultaneously. Unless you have a complex throttle quadrant with multiple throttles, make sure you bind your Throttle to the “Throttle Axis” command and not any of the numbered Throttles.Basically anything that needs proportional input will use the “Axis” version of the command. This includes control surfaces, engine controls (throttle, etc), brakes, etc. That is the issue you are having with your control inputs. All “linear” controls need to use the “AXIS” commands, not the basic commands.Click “Validate” to complete the binding. The space should fill in with the input number. Now physically activate the input on your controller. Click on the space that says “Search By Input” and it will light up. When you click on a command, it will bring up the “binding window”. MSFS can recognize the input just by activating it during binding. To bind an input (button, switch, slider, axis) you don’t need to know the actual input number for your controller.Helpful Name searches are “Axis” (see below) and the various views “Cockpit”, “Instrument”, “Drone”, “External”. The “Search By Name” will let you narrow down the (very long!) list of commands. To see a recommended set of starting commands select “Essentials”. If the controller doesn’t have default bindings, you won’t see anything! To see all the commands, change the filter to “All”. The Control Filter at the bottom of the left part of the screen defaults to “Assigned” which only shows the commands that are currently bound to the selected controller.Here are my other “generic tips” for setting up controllers. Awesome! Let me know if you have any other question.
