I’m an old time FS user. The new version is out and I was considering getting back into the joy of the experience. Your video was exceptional, outstanding and exciting and you hooked me back into it. I’m heading out to purchase the app and a flight control unit. Thank you sincerely! I’m subscribed and looking forward to future vids (with my new system).
You honour me - thank for you for those kind and gracious comments and most importantly: welcome back to the fascinating world of Flight Simming :)
Hello, yes congratulations on your videos. Clear language, no unnecessary hurry, etc.
and in a clear language , suitable for non native speakers ..
Newborn (prewar quality, 1939!) to this flying experience, i must admit confusion at times, Msfs is wonderfull, but,,,
Tell me where I can find answers to the problems I have encountered, like thrustmaster throttle reversing axis without notifying, atc screen , and other displays, flickering, mouse disappearing, etc,
But still “enthousiaste”!
Keep the good work!

I recently discovered you channel. I have been using joysticks and flight sims for years. Tutorial creators often forget what it is like to be a total newbie……great job!
Appreciated, thanks Larry!
Thank you so much for this tutorial Huddison, must admit I was floundering with setting up the Joystick until your channel caught my eye because I have the same Stick on my setup, looking forward to seeing your other tutorials , thanks a million, you now have another new Sub.
Great to hear this series of tutorials is of help 😊
Thank you for your help. Looking now for your next video. Great work.
Thanks Robert.
Very well done. I like the way you slowly take your time to explain everything .Looking forward to a video about adjusting sensitivity .Very confusing at this time. I am sure I am not the only one who has trouble with this.
Thanks Charles - my next video will hopefully help you with as well.
Thank you soooooo much! Only video on here explaining this properly and throughly. Thank you!
Great to hear that these videos are still helping people ;)
Thanks so much for this, this is exactly what I needed to help me get started . This game is so overwhelming this is a perfect introduction . 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Glad I could help. I'm aiming to make a video soon setting up a more complex hotas from scratch.
Thank you so much for this video and for your precise English language, which makes it easy to understand and follow, even for a non-native speaker! Greetings from Germany!
Thanks & greetings to you too!
It was a great tutorial. Your explanations are very clear, you talk slow;y and I enjoyed every second of it. Finally after hours of trials I managed to set up my joystick METALSTRIKE FF and fly. Thank you very much, will watch your other videos.
So good to hear that this set of tutorials is helping people - thanks for commenting and happy flying 😊✈
Just got MSFS 2020 and I was confused as to how to set up my joystick. This video has been really helpful. I couldn't understand why I kept crashing which was due to the reverse axis option being set on. Now much better. Looking forward to your next video.
Great to hear Peter :)
Love how you explain details. Good job.
Thank you.
Thank you for the step by step instructions, this has saved me money. I’m using my old Microsoft sidewinder joystick 🕹
Great to hear, thank you for the graceful comment ;)
Just ordered some flight controls and I’m soo excited
Great, let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the video it was so helpful ;)
Most welcome.
I really like the way you have done your videos. Very professional.
Thank you very much - that warms my heart :)
Excellent video, so many thanks. Installed MSFS today and have an old dusty Logitech attack3 so this will help very much to get started.
My pleasure
Thank you so much, this is the BEST EXPLAINED toturiels I have seen and saved me a lot of greif, you are the man.
You're very welcome & thank you :)
Thank you for helping me set up my joystick. Great video and easy to follow instructions
Very welcome Samuel.
Thank you so much this has been very helpful for my Logitech and also my nx ten haven't set it up yet but after watching your video I think you have given me the answer I've been searching for thanks again cheers Rick
Glad it helped Richard.
Great video and straight to the point
Thanks, that's appreciated.
Thanks for the great video.
My pleasure.
I should have watch you videos when I set up my sim. It would have save me a lot of time stress... thank you !
Most welcome, I'm just happy that they are still of use to people.
Thank you very much for this perfect tutorial!!
Thank you for your wonderful comments.
Excellent tutorial 😊
Thank you 😊
I am a new player and I’ve watched several flight sim tutorials. Your video was by far the most clear and concise, step-by-step guide for getting set up to play. Thank you for taking the time to explain things clearly, it was a major help! I’ve subscribed and look forward to your other videos!
Thanks Sylvester, more of this kind of video on the way.
Thanks a lot mate
Thank you you are a great teacher you go slow and you are very patience. Thank you for sharing
Thank you, very much appreciated feedback 😊
great tutorial!!! have the same controller too xD
Very useful thx for this tutariol.
You're most welcome.
Great video. Thanks!!!
You're welcome!
Thanks so much for making this video, it made the game a lot less intimidating at first for me
Glad I could help.
lets gooo a new vid
Well what a brilliant set of Videos. Certainly better than most of those I have seen from other contributors. Congratulations!
It stopped me in my tracks from a plan to write something similar but relating more specifically to the use of my Mad Catz5 Stick and the FlyingIrons Spitfire Installation which I have purchased with the Microsoft Flight Simulator. The Mad Catz 5 stick although much older has several additional/different controls than the Logitech stick you refer to, so if you wish I will forward my suggestions to you for perhaps including as a text file with any of your later Videos, as I have no wish to produce a Video for this.
Regards, Lockhands
Thank you for your wonderful comments; it really does mean a lot to me when people take the time to thank/congratulate me :)
Yes Please forward me your notes for the Mad
Catz5 - They may be of use for a future video.
@@Huddison Hello, will this link allow me to send my full Document to you Privately? Or can you set up a "one time use email address"?
@@lockhandsreilley Check my Channel Page/About tab for my email :)
me sirvio mucho gracias
Very good video
Thank you.
Thanks!
Thanks too Dan :)
Hi Huddison. Another great video. How do you find the spring tension on the Logitech Attack 3. Is it as stiff as the Thrustmaster airbus stick or do you think it's a bit less tension.
Thanks so much for your video.
It's been some time since I used this stick, but from memory, the tension felt fine.
I will search also for joystick as this.
Even changing the sensitivity of the keyboard is terrible holding the plane in horizontal position...for cornering will not say anything 🙄
I like how slowly,surely and pedantly you explain everything 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks & yes, this cheap joystick will be so much better than using a keyboard.
Watched it with 1.25 speed, thanks alot :)
The best
Hi thanks for a great video. I have the same joystick that I can now setup. Is the flight program you are using just for planes? I'm looking a good helicopter simulator.
Many thanks, Kevin
Microsoft Flight Simulator has excellent Helicopters and is generally now considered one one of the better helicopter Simulators. Here's an excellent example: www.hypeperformancegroup.com/products/hpg-h160
I just got x plane 11 working on my pic yesterday and I have been playing it non stop
Sounds good. Do you have addons for it?
@@Huddison I’ve been trying to get some addons
@@roanschaffer7720 I've always been tempted by the True Earth UK packs - they will take up a heap load of SSD space though!
Hello and thank you for this video. How to set "engage selected altitude mode"?
It depends what aircraft you are trying to select that on.
I’d be interested to see your sensitivity setting. I have an old Sidewinder and have tried various settings but crash and burn every time I fly.
watch part 2 ;)
can you please tell me how you steer the a320 while taxing on the thrustmaster do you just turn the stick ? thank you
You can use the stick to turn the aircraft on the ground, but I would recommend either using something like an Xbox controller Triggers for Rudders (see here: czcams.com/video/_lrRC6-lu4U/video.html) or the Keyboard default keys (Numpad 0 and Enter keys).
Z axis is more typically associated with the tail RUDDER ..... (z axis twisting the stick) right ?
Typically yes.
What would you map the collective to in a helicopter game ?
I guess that with this type of flight controller, I would map the throttle to the collective. Not the ideal joystick for helicopters really.
Our internet is running 6.98 Mbps. The keyboard and joystick will not run the sim. A plane in discovery flight, flys, but l cannot control it, then it simply crashes.Is this because the internet feed is too weak? Thank You. Enjoyed your video.
If your internet is too weak, it would generally just lose connection with the servers; but it may also crash the Sim.
Omg!!! I'm officially 100 years old !
🤔
Hello , just found your videos and am wrapped,
But, I have a problem, Im an old guy trying to do something for my grandson but have gone about it the wrong way,
When I saw the blurbs about MSFS i was thrilled and as I had an Xbox ONE X I waited for the xbox version to come out , it didnt , so I bought an Xbox Series X , a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro controller, and the disc version of MSFS .
BUT !!!! I cant find a way of getting the controller on the setup, and just now I saw your video and thought if anyone could point me in the right direction it has to be this chap ???
To compound the matter though , I use an iMac ,
Is there anyway you can help me please ?
Hi Norman, only Joysticks/controllers officially supported by the Xbox info structure will work on the consoles I'm afraid; I don't believe the Logitech Extreme 3D pro is one of those supported controllers :(
I'm slightly perplexed about your comment re the iMac - are you using that to try and play the PC version of MSFS and setup your joystick?
If you do want to use a Joystick with a thrust control for the Series X, you have a few options: The Hotas One works just fine (aside from a few mapping issues currently in MSFS) and you have other Hotas like the Hori (although that seems very difficult to come by nowadays) - I hope this helps? :)
@@Huddison thank you so much for your help.I watched your video where you put your old stick onto your PC, Right I thought ? I'll try that ????, wrong !!,
Have just also discovered what you told me re Logitech that my stick won't work in Xbox Series X ????, so I asked them why are they selling it but their service states it doesn't support "classic ".
OK, back to the drawing board, more outlay ??, but after finding your website I am feeling light of heart and can see a bit of light down the tunnel ,A great many thanks to you
Dear Sir, I can't help but notice that at the very beginning (say, the first 5 seconds), you seem be using a keyboard/mouse because your mouse pointer moves all around the screen showing us various controls as you explain their functions. If I picked up on it correctly, some of the keys are used to operate some of the primary controls, others for gear (G). However, if I want to jump into the aircraft of my choice, I cannot find the manifold,ignition, lights, and you name a control I REALLY miss having handy, AP! I wish there was a written manual with illustrated dashboards settings for the various peripherals--any chance you could give us some links to the illustrated manuals? You are a very good tutor, however, at 74 y.o., I scarcely can keep apace with the speed you youngsters present your complex material! Is there a link to other tutorials by you where I might. strike it lucky and get a better understanding.
I strike for the intermediate ground when making such videos: not too fast that newcomers will have difficulty keeping pace with me; yet not too slow that it becomes akin to watching paint dry.
I know not of any illustrated manuals, nor slower tutorial links. It is nice to be called a 'youngster' once again tough ;)
for some reason n the elevator axis i can barley go up can someone please help me
Are you using the same Flight Stick? Come and ask in Discord, lots of helpful chaps there discord.gg/UsRD4mTJJq
What did you assign rudder to?
With this Joystick: either use a pair of rudder pedals or the trigger buttons on an Xbox 360 controller (or similar).
i still canot turn left or right the plane can you help me please?
What controller & version of MSFS are you using?
@@Huddison thrustmaster hotas wartohoc a-10c
sorry about that , I thought the first post had disappeared ???
Did I miss the assignment for rudders?
No you didn't. This doesn't have a rudder axis, so you'll either have to use the keyboard or Rudder pedals, if you have them.
It was mentioned in the second tutorial...thanks
You don't need to set throttle to 1. You can directly configure to throttle Axis .. so that it works either one engine or 2.3.4
Very good point & absolutely correct 👍
Hello from Qatar Appreciate your reply and comments
Regards
@@shariqinfo8015do you know how can i set throttle from 0% to 100% and not from reserve to 100
