I don't understand how Thrustmaster and Asobo Studio messed this up like did no one test out the flight stick? If they did the tutorial, they would of notice straight away something was wrong. How has the games media news not even talked about this? Imagine Forza came out with a steering wheel and pedals, and you went and press down on the accelerator pedal, and the car went backwards, lol. Thanks for this video anyway. I will use it until they get it sorted out.
I love that analogy with Forza! I 'm assuming the problems are due to some kind of conflict in the coding and they couldn't resolve it by launch day. I just hope they make an exception to their schedule updates for this issue.
Development is full of surprises and issues that from the outside seem extremely obvious. People are still working remotely, and this is still a weird time. If they don’t resolve the issue in a reasonable timeframe, then I think I will share your criticism, but for now, I think it’s best to just have some patience. This game running on a console at all is still incredible. There were always going to be bugs to work out, and this is one of them.
@@dv8754 Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, and I didn't mean to be too harsh on the developers. I was just surprised by how the hotas was working out of the gate. The game is fantastic even with the hotas issues. I wanted to play this since it was on PC; I had FSX on an old laptop that barely ran, so I was happy to get this on series x. I can't imagine how hard it's been the last year and a half for them. Just hopefully, we don't have to wait too long for the fix.
@@Huddison I hope it is solved soon. I'm thinking of getting the velocity one when it comes out, and I hope it works well with the game. In your other video, I said I had a problem with one of the VRF tutorials. Well, after the update yesterday, the tutorial works for me now.😄
Oh man, you have no idea how much i appreciated this video. I was going mental setting up this Hotus today. While I still may be going mental, at least you slowed the progression. 😜 Again, thank you! Just subscribed.
Thank you for those hints.. they are a very good starting point for where to begin and find your own settings! 👍 And you're absolutely right: since the Hotas is the only option for console players it should have been patched already! Even more since the day one update was some 27 gigabyte and still contains this mess..
It's definitely a bit of a ridiculous oversight, by either TM or Asobo, or both. It's good to have these videos though, I would be completely lost without them 😅
You are a Godsend my brother... and I haven't watched this video yet. Just from your cockpit/external video ... your doing heroes work. 👏 Now .... to watch this and change my sensitivity & settings! Bravo
Very good sensitivity settings. I struggled for a few days with the settings, but thanks to you I’m pretty much all set! Makes the HOTAS feel much better, and my landings, even in gusty crosswinds, are pretty much on the target. Thanks mate.
Hey great video(s)🤗 My sensitivity settings always switch to default after i reboot/close the game on series x, is there a solution or workaround for this (bug) now? Thanks😎
Thats really disappointing:/ Perhaps there is a workaround for this issue...here are my thoughts: The MSFS always loads the default sensitivity settings when you boot the game, so we have to „tell“ the game that our custom profile is the default one🤔... Or maybe we can adjust the sensitivity in the xbox settings, where you calibrate your controller/peripherals?!🤔 There seems to be no workaround for it yet, i will try a few things before i give up 😬
Excellent mate, absolutely genius thank you so much I needed this tutorial to set up my sensitivity configurations on my F/A18 I just bought the hotas and the Xbox series s and I love MSFS!!! Greetings from USA!!!!
Thank you very much for the tutorials you have done! I do appreciate the energy and time you’ve put into these videos. BTW… I did find an easy fix for the loose throttle lever. Simple: Two rubber bands around the base (close to both sides of the throttle lever stem) works quite well! (I have a picture of it, but I can’t post it on UA-cam comments.)
Many thanks from New Zealand. The instructions in all of your videos are so clear and concise. F1 is a much better rolling brake button and B1/B2 make trimming so much easier. You have a long-term subscriber. Have a wonderful Christmas and 2024.
Thank you again, really helpful, you should get a reward from Hotas. About the brake and rudder: I have also the flight rudder pedals from Thrustmaser. The setup was very easy, you just plug it in your Hotas and it works. The enprovement of the flight experience is tremendous, but the pedals are quite expensive if you compare it to the joystick. However the quality seems real good.

Yeah. I already have hotas one when i played elite dangerous. That space game is more simulator than flight simulator when using control as for now. That is bullshit. I do not want to buy that yoke thing soon for $320
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Just got mine and set it up with your sensitivity suggestions, and man what a difference.

I have to admit I was nervous about a game console simulator but I really am glad I took your advice. Good stuff, thanks again!
Thanks for the video, Huddison. really appreciated. Thanks also for calling out Microsoft/Asobo/Thurstmaster. Hopefully the groundswell of unhappy customers both here and on the official MSFS forums are enough that they actually listen (for a change). Sadly, as customers... We are treated badly by publishers/Dev's all the damn time. So many malign practices taking advantage of the opaque consumer rights surrounding digital products. They just want the cash, and this ethos of 'We know it's broken, lie, patch it later and release it anyway.' Needs to stop! The bottom line is, we know they will fix it - But at this moment, the Hotas is NOT fit for purpose... Quite frankly, I don't care whose fault it is, it shouldn't happen. All those videos with Jorg Neummann (head of MSFS) banging on about how Hotas One was supported... Yeah, sure thing Walter Mitty!! They either 1) Did not test it 2) Knew it wasn't working and lied. Either way, not good enough.
A quick hack to save your Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas One Flight Stick on Xbox Series S/X, if you use the ‘Quick Resume’ feature you will not need to keep changing your stick settings in the controls panel. when using the T.Flight Hotas One plugged into the console, you go to Control Options > Sensitivity to adjust the sensitivity curves to your liking, click apply and save, then the sensitivity curves are saved for that session. If you now close the simulator down by ‘quitting’ from the Xbox menu, when you start up the sim again and head over to the T.Flight Hotas One control options page and click on Sensitivity once again you will find that the curves are set back to default. By leaving the game open on the Xbox i.e. using ‘Quick Resume’ and not quitting the game when you shut down your Xbox or switch to another game, your find that your Sensitivity settings remain untouched and do not revert to the default settings.
Love your videos. They have really helped me with setting up my xbox series x and my hotas. I plan on purchasing the turtle beach system when it is available
Another great video with some nice settings thanks. Fortunately I can save all the sensitivity settings with the exception of the reactivity on my HOTAS one. Thanks again.
I found by changing my power mode on the Xbox series x it will save them. Try this and hope it works for you: Settings>General>Power mode & startup>Power mode>(change to Instant-on)>When Xbox is off, turn off storage>(untick the box). That's it. If you do a full shutdown or power off by unplugging the unit, then you need to re-set the sensitivity settings again. Hope it works for you.
Hi Mr H' could you pls do a updated vid as the game now saves all keybinds ? I for one would be interested to know all your latest settings and binds particularly Reactivity ? Also are you still using the TM Rudders and if so the setting for it ? ps great vids 😀 LOL Edit I,ve just found the lastest vid post SU9.
Thanks. So glad that I didn’t jump into T Flight, but probably going to take the risk and order Turtle Beach soon as it comes available and only because Honeycombs Xbox compatible controls won’t be available until next year. Current Honeycomb controllers are going to compatible through their official USB Hub, but no word about when that is going come on the market.
@@Huddison sadly information is very scarce so I hope they really are working on those updated/new controllers. FSelite have one good article about Honeycombs plans and USB Hub is mentioned in the same article. COVID, limited supplies and high demand seem to have impacted their production pretty hard too.
@@Huddison I've been using a 4 port usb hub on both my xbox one x and now the series x. It's a usb hub that I've had for at least 10 years and used on my pc. I use it on my consoles because I've had external hard drives taking up the inbuilt ports. I have my logitech steering wheel plugged into it and it works fine, same with the HOTAS one joystick. It's not working properly of course, but we all know why and it's nothing to do with the usb hub
The Hotas ONE on Xbox for MSFS is terrible... they've had a LONG time to test and get this sorted! Whats the excuse MS? I really want to get button combo's resolved so that I can map more functions!!! This vid seems great I really need to look at the sensitivities because out of the box it's not great! Why on earth MS/TM haven't resolved the input detect issue is very dissapointing it's been nearly a month since Xbox release and not a great incentive to spend money on the game!
There is a workaround for the issue of the confused button mappings for the Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS One in Flight Simulator 2020, as reported here: flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016027399-KNOWN-ISSUES-Last-update-July-30-2021- The workaround offered there is the following: "Though what you see on the screen is incorrect, if you make an assignment through scanning, it will be accurate. Do not use the drop-down to create your mapping." I haven't put this to the test yet, but am posting it here in case it proves true and helps.
Thanks a lot, great Video. You need to study science for this mapping mess. I want my Yoke and Multipanel, please Microsoft 🙏 Any suggestions for the Rudder Pedals and Brakes, can't find a comfortable setting.
@@Huddison I would love to know your usual pedal settings once you do the update video. I ended up splashing for the bundle. Thanks again for everything!
My xbox now has the 19-Oct-2021 update version 1.20.6.0. Release notes indicate it fixes the HOTAS button assignments AND the retaining of Custom profile Sensitivity settings. My testing shows the Sensitivity customisations are still lost when there is a full restart of the simulator 😭
Boa tarde meu amigo! Sou do Brasil! Atualmente as falhas que vc mencionou em seu vídeo há um ano atrás de configuração do eixo já foram regularizadas, ou seja, ao salvar as configurações elas se mantem? Grande abraço!!
I had come to almost the exact setup as you have except I like your brake idea on the trigger. Just one other trick I love. I have the B5 button set up for instrument 1 view, then the next and previous scrolling through the instrument views. Totally agree on the patch. This is a joke, it is like they never even played their own game. Inexcusable. Did you ever find a way to get the Smart Look working? I think because it is programmed with a left button shift + another button normally on the controller, a single button command will not work. Another Bug?
Hello everyone, The developers are aware of this issue and are actively working on a solution at this moment. We will post more information as it becomes available. I am closing this thread for now as no further reports are required. Thanks, MSFS Team This is ⬆️ a reply from Microsoft team on the issues we are facing with Hotas one...
I found that the loss of the sensitivity +/- settings is in the loading of the profile. For example if you set up for the HOTAS then go and change the settings for the controller the HOTAS settings will be lost if you then go back to the HOTAS controller screen. If you have two custom HOTAS configurations, they will also be lost if you switch between them.
Thanks for this video. A question, when I bank my flight to take a turn, and then let go of the stick to return position, the flight maintains the bank angle it was set. Letting go of stick doesn't return the aircraft level flight (I'm flying Skyhawk). Is it normal behaviour? Can we toggle it?
I’ve recently purchased a series x Xbox, flight simulator 2020 & t flight hotas one joystick. This video has been beyond informative when it came to mapping. I’ve noticed though that during the demo, the controller was also being used. As I’m still working through my recent purchases, (arrived yesterday) I’m wondering if there is a need to use the controller in conjunction with the hotas…unless you can map the hotas to operate all functions without the need to use the joystick.
@@Huddison Thank you for responding…it’s bit of a pain but being realistic, given the various functions within the game, I expected there to be a need to combine the hotas and the controller.
Question, I’ve watched your video and and I know the mapping is messed up! You covered flight control surfaces the flaps! However my spoilers don’t work, can you confirm if they work for you or anyone else
Have you had the issue where in between flights your profile reverts back to default? I have had that about 10% of the time, but it's frustrating when you're hitting the brakes and have none lol
My default assignments aren’t showing up, so no button is assigned. Is there any quick way to fix this besides going through each and every control I need and assigning it myself?
Are you flying on an Xbox console? I've read that a complete reinstall will bring back your profiles. I do have Hotas One Settings on our Discord also.
Sim update 6... 3 months after launch.... and STILL the sensitivity saving is not resolved... although the button mapping issues do appear to have been resolved...
Great video im suprised you didn’t touch up on the rudder being soo damn sensitive when you twist on the hotas joystick. A little bit more manageable on the gamepad but still an issue. Do you have any work arounds that?
As always really helpful vid, I am still really struggling to get my hat switch to pan though.. must be doing something wrong but can't figure out what
Hello again, I am the old guy from about a week ago who tried to setup MSFS 2020 for my grandson but did it all back to front wrong joystick etc ????. Anyway I now have an Xbox Series X and just received a Thrustmaster Hotas ONE for Xbox X, hooked it up to an older TCL tv which was poor to say the least so I bit the bullet and got the Hisense 55UGD tv , now I am hoping you can point me in the right direction for coupling the TV with the XBOX X. I would appreciate any help , cheers
Sorry Norman, I would not be best placed to answer you on this one: I have a crappy old second hand 24" 1080p TV that I use for my Series S (Yes I'm badly in need of an upgrade!). Hopefully somebody passes upon this comment and helps you along ;)
So the trick for the buttons that do a lot of repeating is to manually 'Select an Input' and choose what button it should be.. and it will work then? (and not use the search by input?)
Hey I have a problem with my Logitech panels on mfs2020 at the begging it worked then once I started mfs2020 and while it was loading a message appeared saying “there is already an instance of plug-in running” do you have some help idk guys maybe did it already happen to you guys? Thanks….
Thanks for all your fine videos.I have an issue with the rudder after I land only.The plane does not respond to my Logitech extreme 3D Pro.No issues taxing but on return to the airport it won’t respond to my turns or will but briefly then goes another way.Searched all over on the forums but helpful solution.Any ideas.Thanks.
It's difficult for me to say what the issue could be - head over to the Discord, other people there might've encountered similar issues (link in video description.
I have a Gaming Lab keyboard and wireless mouse as well as the Hotas One. Is it possible to use both the keyboard and the Hotas one when playing MFS 2020?
What is the button for the hotas one pedals braking as my profile vanished in the sim update 10 beta and it don’t have the default mapping either. So I am trying to do all the buttons again but I can’t find that brake button name for the pedals. Taking me 2 hrs so far :(
@@Huddison yes but I don’t know the mapping for them as when I push on the pedals to brake to find out the button name, nothing appears in the scan. when I do the rudder movement, they appear fine and I have have aligned them up correcting now. What’s the buttons name on yours if you push down on your pedals?
I thought it was L AXIS 6 and 7 but that didn’t work. I could go back to Sim update 9 again and everything will work ok but It’s unplayable for me with the lag still.
Had an XBOX update when I turned it on just now and when I loaded up flight simulator its now only showing 5 axis to edit on the hotas one instead of the 8 or 12 there was before. It still doesn't save them, but maybe a fix is incoming?
I fly the A320 but the CLB positioning is always toward the front of the handle. How can I change the positioning of the CLB setting to be more towards the middle? Thanks
U help me so much. Thank you. But i have still one Problem. Which menu Point or Button do u Klick to Switch between the normal Cockpit View and the higher one 20:45 - 20:47? Ich cant find it. the higher Cockpit view is Perfect for Landing. Thank you🙏🙏🙏
Sorry for my english but i gave my Sensitivity at the 5 axxis in the diagramm and save it. Make the button setup and savit. When i make the series s out and on is the sensitivity on standart...all parameters lost....what is it....can you help me?
I really need help I have the same joystick but for some reason my rudder keeps spinning with just a little touch on the joystick all my settings are easy setting
Unfortunately the potentiometers Thrustmaster use in this HOTAS are not the best. If you look on UA-cam there are plenty of videos on how to clean them with cleaning alcohol which makes a massive improvement.
Hi just got mine... Interestingly when I map buttons 5 and 6 they both come up as same button on game even if I try to set them up.... Does anyone else have this problem or is it a defective throttle?
I’ve had the Hotas One for one week. Less than 6 hours used and it’s already drifting (rolling) to the left in flight. So disappointed, and let me tell you…It’s definitely defective and a bad design because nobody could be more gentle and responsible than I have. It was a real joy while it lasted those few hours I had with it for $89.
I do have issue on the button left and right behind the trust leveler. When I really gentle touch (not pushing) the left button I immediately have the plane moving left on the ground . Do you have the same issue? Any suggestion? Thank you
Does it show a full deflection with a gentle touch under sensitivities? Troubleshooting it might get a bit too involved for youtube comments; you will be best solving this in our Discord. @@TheConrad7011
I'm confused by this video. I was hoping you go through all the buttons and what you assigned to them, after watching the video there are so many buttons completely unsigned on my Hotas now, I have no idea what to set there. Like B2, X, B, Y, Prev.
Only shit i want to be fixed. Is reverse control and idle. When in idle i am 20% power. That is bullshit. Also it should go in reverse mode when pulling down the throttle. If that is a thing, then I haven’t discovered it yet, how to map that. Having to push 2 buttons to go into reverse mode and then another button to reverse. Because down throttle under idle is assigned as f2 wtf I was close to actually upgrade to deluxe or premium and i was about to buy European airports and american airports. But you know what! I will not put a single coin in this game until hotas is fixed. The xbox control is actually better to use right now than hotas is.
S O S oh noooooo............... I have just turned on my xbox series x msfs and the defaults plus all bindings that i have saved for all my controllers have gone blank. not even any sensetivetys showing at all... sensitivitys just blank to ......have had this prob before and sorted it by reinstalling drivers/firmware. but am afraid it didnt work this time. any idea how to solve this please p l e a s e................... lol. really getting frustrated been trying for hours.
Your videos are really helpful, keep it up. I have a problem that I can’t seem to find the answer or solution for and perhaps yourself or someone in the MFS2020 community knows. When approaching VOR or ILS approach on commercial airliners, all the screens just go blank at around 2500ft or when I deploy the landing gear. Does anyone know if this is a bug or am I doing something wrong? I use Thrustmater HOTAS One on an Xbox Series S. A solution would be much appreciated.
Thanks so much, that search via input has helped so much. I have another issue with my hotas, the throttle lever is so loose that it almost falls forward from about 80% to 100% itself and I've had to resort to sticking a piece of thin card into the lever to stiffen it, has anybody else had this issue or have I just got a faulty one?
@Nick ramsdale I finished up getting a couple of small elastic bands around 1" diameter and twisted them around together to give them additional thickness. Then I stretched them over the throttle and simply pressed the sides of the elastic bands into the indents at both sides with my finger nails and it holds just fine. You could put in a stronger spring underneath but it means stripping the base off but I don't want to do that on a couple of weeks old unit. Hope it helps.
Hi all, just a question: HOW can I allocatie the Speedbrakes + Thrust Reverse engine + can anyone show me the settings of the camera (so that i have the same experience as with my xbox controller).
It appears that WU6 may have addressed saving settings correctly when msfs is closed, and possibly all mapping of buttons and axis's has been corrected also. Can you confirm please?
@@Huddison Sadly I think I was in error and the settings do not get saved. They Sensitivity settings revert to straight lines, I restarted the xbox however I did not quit the game and was a little too hopeful with the result I immediately contacted you whereas I should have made certain. Sorry.
Thank you so much for your sacrifice navigating through this mapping mess. A true hero!
somebody had to do it ;)
This guys video on how to look round your cockpit and outside the plane is absolutely brilliant. It literally is a game changer.

Thank you for this video. I've been waiting for this
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@Huddison I did! Thanks again!
A quick hack to save your Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas One Flight Stick on Xbox Series S/X, if you use the ‘Quick Resume’ feature you will not need to keep changing your stick settings in the controls panel.
when using the T.Flight Hotas One plugged into the console, you go to Control Options > Sensitivity to adjust the sensitivity curves to your liking, click apply and save, then the sensitivity curves are saved for that session. If you now close the simulator down by ‘quitting’ from the Xbox menu, when you start up the sim again and head over to the T.Flight Hotas One control options page and click on Sensitivity once again you will find that the curves are set back to default.
By leaving the game open on the Xbox i.e. using ‘Quick Resume’ and not quitting the game when you shut down your Xbox or switch to another game, your find that your Sensitivity settings remain untouched and do not revert to the default settings.
That's a very good tip 👍
Good vid and very informative👍
Love your videos. They have really helped me with setting up my xbox series x and my hotas. I plan on purchasing the turtle beach system when it is available
Thanks Don & best of luck with getting a Velocity One.
Amazing video!!! keep up the amazing work!
Thanks!
Another great video with some nice settings thanks. Fortunately I can save all the sensitivity settings with the exception of the reactivity on my HOTAS one. Thanks again.
Most welcome
How do you manage to save the sensitivity settings of the hotas one?!🤔😱
I found by changing my power mode on the Xbox series x it will save them. Try this and hope it works for you:
Settings>General>Power mode & startup>Power mode>(change to Instant-on)>When Xbox is off, turn off storage>(untick the box). That's it.
If you do a full shutdown or power off by unplugging the unit, then you need to re-set the sensitivity settings again.
Hope it works for you.
Hi Mr H' could you pls do a updated vid as the game now saves all keybinds ? I for one would be interested to know all your latest settings and binds particularly Reactivity ? Also are you still using the TM Rudders and if so the setting for it ? ps great vids 😀 LOL Edit I,ve just found the lastest vid post SU9.
Very helpful video. Thanks!
Many thanks Matthew.
AMAZING! thanx for doing the groundwork. any updates a year later? (im sure ill find a newer video as soon as i type this)
I will put it on my list for an update video.
Thanks. So glad that I didn’t jump into T Flight, but probably going to take the risk and order Turtle Beach soon as it comes available and only because Honeycombs Xbox compatible controls won’t be available until next year. Current Honeycomb controllers are going to compatible through their official USB Hub, but no word about when that is going come on the market.
I wasn't aware of the USB hub option - that's great news for current owners.
@@Huddison sadly information is very scarce so I hope they really are working on those updated/new controllers. FSelite have one good article about Honeycombs plans and USB Hub is mentioned in the same article. COVID, limited supplies and high demand seem to have impacted their production pretty hard too.
@@Huddison I've been using a 4 port usb hub on both my xbox one x and now the series x. It's a usb hub that I've had for at least 10 years and used on my pc. I use it on my consoles because I've had external hard drives taking up the inbuilt ports. I have my logitech steering wheel plugged into it and it works fine, same with the HOTAS one joystick. It's not working properly of course, but we all know why and it's nothing to do with the usb hub
This is hero work!
The Hotas ONE on Xbox for MSFS is terrible... they've had a LONG time to test and get this sorted! Whats the excuse MS?
I really want to get button combo's resolved so that I can map more functions!!!
This vid seems great I really need to look at the sensitivities because out of the box it's not great!
Why on earth MS/TM haven't resolved the input detect issue is very dissapointing it's been nearly a month since Xbox release and not a great incentive to spend money on the game!
I feel your pain and frustrations - let's hope the next patch addresses this.
I have one coming Tuesday , do I have to do your settings or I just use the default? They might of fixed it
There's no patch on it as yet, so feel free to try my settings and tweak them to your own liking ;)
@@Huddison ok thanks
Will you be doing a new video of the best settings now it has been fixed?. Well the mapping has.
@@1Percyvideos Yes: ua-cam.com/video/6LMxd0OsBYs/v-deo.html ;)
Thank you. I'll try it all out
There is a workaround for the issue of the confused button mappings for the Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS One in Flight Simulator 2020, as reported here: flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016027399-KNOWN-ISSUES-Last-update-July-30-2021-
The workaround offered there is the following:
"Though what you see on the screen is incorrect, if you make an assignment through scanning, it will be accurate. Do not use the drop-down to create your mapping."
I haven't put this to the test yet, but am posting it here in case it proves true and helps.
thank you very much huddison!!!!!
No worries Jesse.
I've been through Thrustmaster and they quite clearly blame MS/Asobo for this mess. Who knows when or who will fix it.
I’m prepping to purchase the HOTAS one, I was very upset about the fact I couldn’t use my Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Flight Stick.
Yes it would be great if we could've used our existing yokes and flights sticks.
Thanks a lot, great Video. You need to study science for this mapping mess. I want my Yoke and Multipanel, please Microsoft 🙏 Any suggestions for the Rudder Pedals and Brakes, can't find a comfortable setting.
I'll be looking into the T-flight Rudder pedals setup etc.
@@Huddison Would be much appreciated 👌
Great video. The 2nd hot fix is out and they still haven't fixed the Hotas assignment mess.
I know, very frustrating. It seems they want to force Simmers to use the default gamepad.
Great video. I was getting very frustrated with this. I'm sure asobo and MS will have a patch to sort it out.
Let's hope so.
I'm still having problems assigning a button for the spoilers. 😬
So, should I be spending hours doing this, or bookmark the vids and wait for a patch? Thanks for your service with all these
It's really your choice. It takes me 5 mins or so to set up my sensitivities each time I start the sim; a pain - can't wait for a patch!
Hours?
@@Denzamusic the UI really puts me off. Also, hyperbole exists
@@Huddison I would love to know your usual pedal settings once you do the update video. I ended up splashing for the bundle. Thanks again for everything!
My xbox now has the 19-Oct-2021 update version 1.20.6.0. Release notes indicate it fixes the HOTAS button assignments AND the retaining of Custom profile Sensitivity settings. My testing shows the Sensitivity customisations are still lost when there is a full restart of the simulator 😭
Setting up my hotas one on xbox series x today and it seems none of the mapping issues mentioned here exist anymore.
Yes they sorted out the mapping issues in Sim update.
Boa tarde meu amigo! Sou do Brasil! Atualmente as falhas que vc mencionou em seu vídeo há um ano atrás de configuração do eixo já foram regularizadas, ou seja, ao salvar as configurações elas se mantem? Grande abraço!!
Hugs to you too - yes the configs now seem to save just fine.
@@Huddison thank you very much for the feedback. And a big hug from this Brazilian who loves to simulate!
I had come to almost the exact setup as you have except I like your brake idea on the trigger. Just one other trick I love. I have the B5 button set up for instrument 1 view, then the next and previous scrolling through the instrument views. Totally agree on the patch. This is a joke, it is like they never even played their own game. Inexcusable. Did you ever find a way to get the Smart Look working? I think because it is programmed with a left button shift + another button normally on the controller, a single button command will not work. Another Bug?
I've not actually experimented with Smart Look - if you get it working let us know.
Smart look by default is assigned to the trigger which Huddison has assigned his brakes to.
Hello everyone,
The developers are aware of this issue and are actively working on a solution at this moment. We will post more information as it becomes available. I am closing this thread for now as no further reports are required.
Thanks,
MSFS Team
This is ⬆️ a reply from Microsoft team on the issues we are facing with Hotas one...
I found that the loss of the sensitivity +/- settings is in the loading of the profile. For example if you set up for the HOTAS then go and change the settings for the controller the HOTAS settings will be lost if you then go back to the HOTAS controller screen. If you have two custom HOTAS configurations, they will also be lost if you switch between them.
Yes I've found similar.
Any solution/ workaround for us for this problem?
@@markusilgert864 Not yet that I know of.
Thanks for this video.
A question, when I bank my flight to take a turn, and then let go of the stick to return position, the flight maintains the bank angle it was set. Letting go of stick doesn't return the aircraft level flight (I'm flying Skyhawk). Is it normal behaviour? Can we toggle it?
Yes that's perfectly normal: see it as setting the ailerons into a turn\bank; you have to move your flight stick the other way to center the aircraft.
I’ve recently purchased a series x Xbox, flight simulator 2020 & t flight hotas one joystick. This video has been beyond informative when it came to mapping. I’ve noticed though that during the demo, the controller was also being used. As I’m still working through my recent purchases, (arrived yesterday) I’m wondering if there is a need to use the controller in conjunction with the hotas…unless you can map the hotas to operate all functions without the need to use the joystick.
You still require the Xbox gamepad or a mouse to navigate through the menu options, unfortunately.
@@Huddison Thank you for responding…it’s bit of a pain but being realistic, given the various functions within the game, I expected there to be a need to combine the hotas and the controller.
@@birminghamchris9377 We all did.
Question, I’ve watched your video and and I know the mapping is messed up! You covered flight control surfaces the flaps! However my spoilers don’t work, can you confirm if they work for you or anyone else
Have you had the issue where in between flights your profile reverts back to default? I have had that about 10% of the time, but it's frustrating when you're hitting the brakes and have none lol
Not as yet, but if you switch profiles it resets.
My default assignments aren’t showing up, so no button is assigned. Is there any quick way to fix this besides going through each and every control I need and assigning it myself?
Are you flying on an Xbox console? I've read that a complete reinstall will bring back your profiles. I do have Hotas One Settings on our Discord also.
Sim update 6... 3 months after launch.... and STILL the sensitivity saving is not resolved... although the button mapping issues do appear to have been resolved...
Great video im suprised you didn’t touch up on the rudder being soo damn sensitive when you twist on the hotas joystick. A little bit more manageable on the gamepad but still an issue. Do you have any work arounds that?
With the right sensitivities settings, I find the twist-rudder is fairly good. I did show that in this video.
As always really helpful vid, I am still really struggling to get my hat switch to pan though.. must be doing something wrong but can't figure out what
Watch my video on it, that I linked in this video ;)
Hello again, I am the old guy from about a week ago who tried to setup MSFS 2020 for my grandson but did it all back to front wrong joystick etc ????.
Anyway I now have an Xbox Series X and just received a Thrustmaster Hotas ONE for Xbox X, hooked it up to an older TCL tv which was poor to say the least so I bit the bullet and got the Hisense 55UGD tv , now I am hoping you can point me in the right direction for coupling the TV with the XBOX X.
I would appreciate any help ,
cheers
Sorry Norman, I would not be best placed to answer you on this one: I have a crappy old second hand 24" 1080p TV that I use for my Series S (Yes I'm badly in need of an upgrade!).
Hopefully somebody passes upon this comment and helps you along ;)
So the trick for the buttons that do a lot of repeating is to manually 'Select an Input' and choose what button it should be.. and it will work then? (and not use the search by input?)
Search by input works for most assignments, it just may show a different assignment to you, but most buttons still map correctly.
Now that you've obtained the Thrustmaster pedals, do you still recommend the twist for rudder?
Twist is handy if sat back on the couch; nothing quite beats pedals for proper rudder controls though ;)
@@Huddison so true, I have a full setup on my pc, but not setup yet on my xbox s! Cheers. S
Hey I have a problem with my Logitech panels on mfs2020 at the begging it worked then once I started mfs2020 and while it was loading a message appeared saying “there is already an instance of plug-in running” do you have some help idk guys maybe did it already happen to you guys? Thanks….
Thanks for all your fine videos.I have an issue with the rudder after I land only.The plane does not respond to my Logitech extreme 3D Pro.No issues taxing but on return to the airport it won’t respond to my turns or will but briefly then goes another way.Searched all over on the forums but helpful solution.Any ideas.Thanks.
It's difficult for me to say what the issue could be - head over to the Discord, other people there might've encountered similar issues (link in video description.
💪🏼👍
I have a Gaming Lab keyboard and wireless mouse as well as the Hotas One. Is it possible to use both the keyboard and the Hotas one when playing MFS 2020?
Yes I do that on my Series S (only I use a wired keyboard).
Thank you sir, appreciated.
How do u set reverse thrust ?
Check through my videos - I've a couple on that subject.
Is it safe to unplug the hotas from my Xbox when I’m playing other games because I don’t feel like recalibrating it over and over again
Yes your settings will save in MSFS.
What is the button for the hotas one pedals braking as my profile vanished in the sim update 10 beta and it don’t have the default mapping either.
So I am trying to do all the buttons again but I can’t find that brake button name for the pedals.
Taking me 2 hrs so far :(
It won’t show a button when I scan it, that’s why I am asking you :)
For brakes in general? Change filter to all in Controls Options & check under 'Brakes'.
You have Toggle Parking Brakes, Left Brake & Right Brake etc.
@@Huddison yes but I don’t know the mapping for them as when I push on the pedals to brake to find out the button name, nothing appears in the scan.
when I do the rudder movement, they appear fine and I have have aligned them up correcting now.
What’s the buttons name on yours if you push down on your pedals?
I thought it was L AXIS 6 and 7 but that didn’t work.
I could go back to Sim update 9 again and everything will work ok but It’s unplayable for me with the lag still.
@@1Percyvideos DO you mean for the T-Flight rudder pedals?
Does the more negative and positive you go make it more or less sensitive?
In sensitivities? Yes.
Had an XBOX update when I turned it on just now and when I loaded up flight simulator its now only showing 5 axis to edit on the hotas one instead of the 8 or 12 there was before. It still doesn't save them, but maybe a fix is incoming?
Interesting - maybe a fix is on it's way!
I fly the A320 but the CLB positioning is always toward the front of the handle. How can I change the positioning of the CLB setting to be more towards the middle? Thanks
U help me so much. Thank you.
But i have still one Problem. Which menu Point or Button do u Klick to Switch between the normal Cockpit View and the higher one 20:45 - 20:47?
Ich cant find it. the higher Cockpit view is Perfect for Landing.
Thank you🙏🙏🙏
Sorry for my english but i gave my Sensitivity at the 5 axxis in the diagramm and save it. Make the button setup and savit. When i make the series s out and on is the sensitivity on standart...all parameters lost....what is it....can you help me?
You lose all settings when you restart MSFS? If so, that's the result we're all having currently unfortunately.
I really need help I have the same joystick but for some reason my rudder keeps spinning with just a little touch on the joystick all my settings are easy setting
I think our discord will help you best with this issue: discord.gg/5dsv4d2tEQ
My rudder seems to have a mind of its own no matter what the sensitivity I add or take from it. It works occasionally but it’s driving me mad
With the Hotas One? We're probably all best waiting for the, hopefully, inevitable patch.
Unfortunately the potentiometers Thrustmaster use in this HOTAS are not the best. If you look on UA-cam there are plenty of videos on how to clean them with cleaning alcohol which makes a massive improvement.
Hi just got mine... Interestingly when I map buttons 5 and 6 they both come up as same button on game even if I try to set them up.... Does anyone else have this problem or is it a defective throttle?
Yes it's a common mapping issue we're all suffering - the buttons you mapped should still work though.
I’ve had the Hotas One for one week. Less than 6 hours used and it’s already drifting (rolling) to the left in flight. So disappointed, and let me tell you…It’s definitely defective and a bad design because nobody could be more gentle and responsible than I have. It was a real joy while it lasted those few hours I had with it for $89.
Oh no, that's not good - sorry that you've had such a let down with it :(
Am I able to remap the front throttle rocker switch to control the rudder instead of the trim nose up and down?
Yes, just map the rocker as rudder axis.
Thanks for the timely reply. Cheers 🍻
I do have issue on the button left and right behind the trust leveler. When I really gentle touch (not pushing) the left button I immediately have the plane moving left on the ground . Do you have the same issue? Any suggestion? Thank you
The rocker switch you mean? Sounds like you have it bound to Rudders.
Yes, the problem is that if I touch gently It simulates a full push
Does it show a full deflection with a gentle touch under sensitivities?
Troubleshooting it might get a bit too involved for youtube comments; you will be best solving this in our Discord. @@TheConrad7011
I'm confused by this video. I was hoping you go through all the buttons and what you assigned to them, after watching the video there are so many buttons completely unsigned on my Hotas now, I have no idea what to set there. Like B2, X, B, Y, Prev.
I showed you the basics for button mapping/assignment; you can choose what to map on the other buttons.
My rocker on the throttle is called Joystick Slider X.. weird that it's different than yours
That is interesting! are you playing on the series S or X?
Thank you
Is everthing still up to date with the Hotas in combination with the XBOX?
Only shit i want to be fixed. Is reverse control and idle. When in idle i am 20% power. That is bullshit. Also it should go in reverse mode when pulling down the throttle. If that is a thing, then I haven’t discovered it yet, how to map that. Having to push 2 buttons to go into reverse mode and then another button to reverse. Because down throttle under idle is assigned as f2 wtf
I was close to actually upgrade to deluxe or premium and i was about to buy European airports and american airports. But you know what! I will not put a single coin in this game until hotas is fixed. The xbox control is actually better to use right now than hotas is.
When you go to control setting I can’t find my joystick. I can only see my controller? Is it because I’m playing on cloud gaming? Help please.
On Cloud gaming?
In cursore mode you can select button?
S O S oh noooooo............... I have just turned on my xbox series x msfs and the defaults plus all bindings that i have saved for all my controllers have gone blank. not even any sensetivetys showing at all... sensitivitys just blank to ......have had this prob before and sorted it by reinstalling drivers/firmware. but am afraid it didnt work this time. any idea how to solve this please p l e a s e................... lol. really getting frustrated been trying for hours.
Oh no :( Join our Discord, I remember this happening to someone else in there & we might be able to help.
Your videos are really helpful, keep it up. I have a problem that I can’t seem to find the answer or solution for and perhaps yourself or someone in the MFS2020 community knows. When approaching VOR or ILS approach on commercial airliners, all the screens just go blank at around 2500ft or when I deploy the landing gear. Does anyone know if this is a bug or am I doing something wrong? I use Thrustmater HOTAS One on an Xbox Series S.
A solution would be much appreciated.
I had exactly the same issue myself in the A320 - would love to know what's causing it too.
@@Huddison does it happen in the 787 Dreamliner too? I can’t remember if it happened there with me.
@@benfriedlander801 i don't own the dreamliner; but it wouldn't surprise me if the same thing happened with it.
Can you please do one on the setting for pc.
I'll be making a video about setting up a hotas from scratch soon on PC - it should relate to the majority of Hotas systems out there.
Thanks so much, that search via input has helped so much. I have another issue with my hotas, the throttle lever is so loose that it almost falls forward from about 80% to 100% itself and I've had to resort to sticking a piece of thin card into the lever to stiffen it, has anybody else had this issue or have I just got a faulty one?
The throttle lever is absolute crap with zero resistance. I'm going to try a couple of elastic bands!
@@petercossins7723 I agree, if you come up with something that works, let me know.
@Nick ramsdale I finished up getting a couple of small elastic bands around 1" diameter and twisted them around together to give them additional thickness. Then I stretched them over the throttle and simply pressed the sides of the elastic bands into the indents at both sides with my finger nails and it holds just fine. You could put in a stronger spring underneath but it means stripping the base off but I don't want to do that on a couple of weeks old unit. Hope it helps.
@@petercossins7723 Thanks I'll give that a go .
Hi all, just a question: HOW can I allocatie the Speedbrakes + Thrust Reverse engine + can anyone show me the settings of the camera (so that i have the same experience as with my xbox controller).
It appears that WU6 may have addressed saving settings correctly when msfs is closed, and possibly all mapping of buttons and axis's has been corrected also. Can you confirm please?
I did a quick sensitivities settings save test immediately after WU6 dropped; but I had no joy.
I will test this fully over this coming weekend.
@@Huddison Sadly I think I was in error and the settings do not get saved. They Sensitivity settings revert to straight lines, I restarted the xbox however I did not quit the game and was a little too hopeful with the result I immediately contacted you whereas I should have made certain. Sorry.
@@tonyevans2967 No worries Tony.
Still waiting on the re-visit
The next patch should let us save mappings - that's when I'll make a re-visit.
I was able to save a profile but when I exit the game and re-launched it everything went back to default on the profile
Everything? Even your button mappings?
Typically, only the sensitivities are reset when you exit or shut down.
Maybe it just did it once
Opened the box of my new T Flight…… sadly POV hat doesn’t bind, instead it synchronizes to other buttons. Shame
