My deepest thanks, your videos have made my FS2020 experience on Series S much improved. Your manner of presentation is quite enjoyable to me, and your thoroughness is greatly appreciated. Best wishes for the future, stay safe and well.
I'm blown away by this generous comment 😊
Well said, totally agree. Although he has his work cut out with me 😂
Here’s a major pro tip for Xbox users:
Get yourself a combo wireless keyboard/mouse that uses just one USB dongle. You can still use your Xbox controller for flight and such or even a flight stick. It make some actions so much easier to be able to use the mouse and keyboard keys for quick short cuts.
Quick example, I only need press the “pause” button on my keyboard to use active pause. Walmart carries a Logitech keyboard/mouse combo with a dongle for $17 dollars. Well worth it.
Thank you brother - your last few vids completely changed my MSFS experience for the better. Controls and viewing is sooo much better. Hope you quickly get the views and subs you deserve. Keep the videos for us new Xbox pilots coming.
Many thanks for the feedback Josh :)
loving this content for xbox, haven’t seen much like this elsewhere
Thanks, that lets me know that I'm heading in the right direction 👍

I really appreciate your videos. I think I would be lost using my Thrustmaster joystick without you help. Thank you so very much and please keep them coming.
Thank you, you are a very good teacher. I do love your tutorials very much and hope you will continue this way. Your mappings are very useful.
Many thanks my friend.
Many thanks for taking the time to make such useful tutorials. Please keep them coming!
Thanks, will do.
Yet again brilliant, thank you and please keep them coming 😁
I will do - many thanks.
Thanks for the tips!
Happy to help!
Now that was an informative video!! I have been looking all over for this information. You were spot on. Great job! I will now subscribe to your channel. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful and very much appreciated - thanks ;)
Thanks for the tips, you are the first one to give tips for xbox players, grettings from Brasil!!!
Thanks Nicolas and greetings to you too!
Even as the X-Series owner, I am impressed with the S-Series performance (Price-performance ratio) . thanks for the helpful video. Greetings from Germany
Thanks and greetings to you too.
Thanks for these videos. I currently use a PC but have an XBox Series X on it’s way (sometime in August), so these tips will be useful.
Hopefully it arrives in the 1st period of this month ;)
I appreciate your xbox content. Keep it up. I posted your channel on the xbox series x reddit so hopefully you get a ton of views.
Brilliant - many thanks!
Great Content as always 👍
Many thanks.
Got yourself a mega sub...... YOUR SO HELPFUL.... Thankyou Sir...
Awesome, thank you!
Awesome info to make this amazing sim better for the user 😀 👍 😊 ❤ 🙂
Thanks - much appreciated feedback.
Top man I’ve just set up as followed and it’s much better to manage everything 👌🏻👍🏻 thank you .
Great to hear!😉
Thanks a lot man 🙌
Most welcome
Nice information for button presets and I like your brake/gear binds. I have my XBOX controller with ACTIVE PAUSE (RB+Menu), SET BAROMETRIC PRESSURE (RB+View), and REPAIR REFUEL (RB+LB) used it for when it it was bugged during Bush missions.
Lovely tips there; I might set one or two of these up myself.
@@Huddison
Doesn't the on screen Active Pause work on the Xbox?
The Active Pause click is on the the top of the Game Screen - click the down arrow - then click the first icon on the left. It works on the PC. Let people know if it works on Xbox's.
@@nestorc2133 Yes of course that works just fine.
@@nestorc2133 Yes, there is a active pasue button but this just makes it easier to engae without clicking the thumb stick to make the menu appear then moving the cursor to engage.
THANKYEE!
very useful
Great stuff again. Now I just need a button to stop the wife walking in front of the tv when I'm about to land 😂
Brilliant 😁
LMAO
So useful thank u. U must have spent many hours working all this out
A fair few ;)
Another great video 👍 although I think I'd better keep the tips on for now 🤣
Thanks and yes, go at your own pace :)
You are my #1 go to guy for MSFS learning. Looking forward to your flight plan video. Is there a way to program multiple flight legs in MAPS? After you select your arrival and destination is there a way to get rid of those big airport label boxes so I can clearly see my route? I’ve had great success using the flight assistant to fly entire routes with perfect landings using RNAV runways rather than ILS. Even in stormy weather. Thanks again for everything. I know it takes a lot of time and effort to produce these videos.
I shall ponder your questions and try to introduce them into my upcoming video.
I forgot that those successful pilot assistant flights were in the Cessna 172 Skyhawk with the recently upgraded GS1000.
Nice ! thank , the active pause tip => ;-) good ------- I do not know if it is an option to select, but at home, when I switch to cursor mode, I no longer have the controls and it is the co-driver who takes over. Maybe your Yoke bug comes from there ?!? or you have not activate the curseur mode ?!? or i have this bug too , and i don't saw it :-) ?!?
Yeah, that yoke bug is a pain in cursor mode, so I don't go into cursor mode and just use the right stick and move the cursor dot over the buttons as it does not move the yoke. Also, under assistance options I check the Xbox Controler Sensitivity option, as it says it tweaks the sensitivity for use with controller.
Wonderful tips, thank you. Could you please tell me if there is a quick way to restart a flight after a crash, which is a frequent occurence for me.
Thanks. After a crash, your only real option is to restart Flight Sim I'm afraid.
So much appreciate your guidance with these videos! However I'm recently trying to assign A+Up D Pad for my active pause also and it doesn't seem to allow me to add a combination of buttons to it. Using my xbox is there something I'm missing? Thanks for all the help!
Thank you. I would check via input box, to ensure that A+D-pad up is not assigned elsewhere - it should work fine.
Was wondering if you had any kind of tutorial on how to use the drone cameras. I have an Xbox and mainly use the controller along with a mouse and keyboard.
As and ye shall receive ;) czcams.com/video/vpqfD2xYTEs/video.html
I urge anyone who hasn't done so yet, to add a hot key for active pause as shown in the video. I have mine set to RB+Menu. I had to do this because for some reason the active pause icon vanished from the toolbar and i couldn't figure out how to get it back.
Did you ever find out where f1 trigger input selection is?
If the game ever works properly on my series x I will definitely use some of these settings.
Looks nice on your series s perhaps I bought the wrong Xbox.
I can't neutrally advise on that one, but stick with the Series X; greater things are to come with MSFS on it.
Hi, Can I shorten a previously set flight so as to concentrate on the take off and landing only? Secondly , I have been using a mouse to set up autopilot and other adjustments on screen but I have lost the arrow head curser on screen today and don’t know how to get it back?Would be very grateful for any help?Many thanks
You can use direct to, to shorten a flight; check one of my livestream videos for instructions on how to do that.
The disappearing mouse cursor seems a common occurance on the series X.
Not sure how to solve that one.
I need a good set up for speed breaks.
Hi I tried to do the active pause but doesn't seem to let me put the two buttons in, can you explain this please. Keep up the good videos
You need to ensure that you press both buttons at exactly the same time, when you start scanning for input.
Get alot of popping on the series s will uping my broadband help though I'm on 200mb now was thinking that's enough
Pop-in is a feature currently with the Series S, but I've a feeling this will drastically improve soon.
@@Huddison great news let's hope so
Hey do you know how i can change the HUD from analog to digital on the Eurofighter when using chase cam? Playing on series S
I don't know the answer to that one.
That cursor mode also effecting your flight control surfaces is a real problem and main reason why after some hours I totally stopped using controller cursor mode and started with mouse instead.
Yes it needs to be fixed ASAP.
Yep a major pain but I just don't go into cusor mode and use the white dot and right stick to click buttons. But mouse would be best. Also, I noticed when selecting altitude sometimes it jumps to max -999999, when using the big knob, so I just set altitude using the smaller (100 ft) incriment knob.
@@xspindrift8737 More on the -99999(etc) bug in the next video.
@@Huddison Outstanding. Appreciate the Xbox turtorials and tips not a lot of content crators covering console specific information.
I took a chance with a mouse and bought Logitech Ergo Trackball mouse knowing that it might not work with Xbox, but it was worth the risk in the end because it works perfectly. Can keep it on side table next to my tv chair and don’t need no space to move mouse cursor can just roll that trackball to control game / flight instruments while using right stick for free camera.
What plane is that your flying? Also is there a view which puts you nearer the windscreen so you can see the nose of the plane?
It's the Cessna 172. You can alter your default cockpit view in Camera settings, in General Option - I may cover this in a future video.
The need to allow you to change the default zoom settings for external view, and they should add a button to switch to showcase view.
I believe you can change the default zoom levels views - earmarked for a future video.
@@Huddison on the Xbox you can change it for the cockpit but not the external camera.
@@brandont4693 ok thanks for the heads up.
Hi. Love your videos. I need an expert opinion as I use just controller on series s. One time the aircraft just turned itself off and wouldnt start again. Nav screens went blank, but the biggest problem is that i can never finish a journey as the aircraft loses control even on autopilot, and spirals down to earth. Is there anything I need to change with my controller as I dont want to buy any extra controllers. Please can you help because its totally unplayable as is.
Thank you.
I also had the screens go blank on me - twice & both times in the A320 just as I was approaching Innsbruck - not ideal!
I feel a lot of yours and other peoples issues, are simply down to bugs - they are boarding on Sim/game breaking for many, so I pray they got sorted soon.
Yes I hope they are aware of it, especially the aircraft just spiraling. Hope they fix it. Not heard others complain about it though.
Maybe I should try a different airliner for now. If it's not any different I'll have to give it a miss until it's sorted. Thanks so much for replying.
@@TheDiceman56 Please join the Discord discord.gg/3kra6JfHZT
And you'll get some great advice in there - I can even try (or one of the members can) to fly along with you, to try and help :)
Very good video, I am trying to set my active pause but am stuck at the point of assigning the toggle ie A+dpad up. Stumped, can anyone help
What part are you stuck on Phil?
I got up to the part where you say put in the A+dpad. I don't seem to be able to assign it to the active pause. Hope this makes sense. I know there is a way but can't seem to figure it out.
Do you think I can use the thrustmaster hotas one with the throttle on the left side and the joystick on the right side just like a left side pilot in the a320
Yes that's possible.
@@Huddison sorry I meant the throttle on the right side and the joystick 🕹 on the left my bad
Do you think it's fine
@@moammeljanjon7482 Yes that will also be fine.
Hello Huddison are you experiencing any issues with the Hotas staying connected to the Xbox ?
Not as yet - are you?
@@Huddison yes but i believe it is beacause I was using a usb extender I have not been disconnected since i did away with it I also had disconects on a thrustmaster wheel for sim racing I guess an extender is not recommended. Great videos Thanks for them
I can only play when not connected to the internet, the moment I connect the game keeps pausing and unpausing, it does this in the menu and game play if I get there. Does anyone know if this could be because I don’t have a membership such as game pass or gold live ? I would pay for a membership if the game would work, but I believe it won’t. If it’s my internet then I believe it’s not the speed as that is ok, it must be my sky hub router that is blocking this game, now I need to know how to stop this, anyone know about port forwarding to get msfs to work?
You should still be able to fly without Gold/Game Pass; but not be able to fly in multiplayer (I believe). Maybe check your multiplayer settings on the world map and turn them off.
I’ve just started playing this on Xbox. How do bring up the menu on top of the screen during a flight without the plane going onto autopilot ?
Best done with a mouse; but if you're using the Xbox gamepad, left click in the Left Analogue Stick and that should bring up the round\circle cursor.
@@Huddison hi. Thanks for your reply. The thing is I know how to bring up the menu by pressing down on the left stick but it then automatically puts me on autopilot Is there a way to stop this ?
sehat sehat terus kawan🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒
You too my friend 👍😎
I set active pause on clicking in LS and RS
Great choice.
I love my xbox series S
Me too. It's amazing what they crammed into that little white box.
@@Huddison ITS SLEEKER AND SLIMMER
@@Huddison digital version no disc needed
6:59 tip
can we turn off that down triangle on top of the screen off ??
Having just logged into a flight: I now see what you mean - not that I'm aware of.
How can I get the autopoilot off b4 pre fight it turns on automatically
Is that happening with a certain scenario/flight?
How do I get rid of the CoPilot answering ATC?
Do the reverse of what I showed in the video
I somehow removed the ATC icon from my toolbar. Help! 😬
Go to custom toolbar on the top toolbar and add it back in.
@@Huddison it was greyed out. I got it back by turning all my difficulty presets to hard. Do you know which option would effect that?
more inportant.VR WORLD SCALE ASJUSTMENT.
So make the sim as unrealistic as possible. Got it. 👎
👌
Your making the game more arcady and less fun
How??? he is just making it more enjoyable for new users on Xbox - oh, maybe your one of those salty PC elitists...
Shit up Lee you fanny. His video is awesome
Go easy on him chaps ;)
I'm on the series s I'm just saying it takes the challenge away from what it's supposed to be. Never owned a pc
Part of the enjoyment is trying to make MSFS your own sandbox Flight Simulator. Keep everything at default if that's the way you prefer it, others (like myself), like to tailor the Sim to our own liking.
