    Why do the designers of MS flight Simulator keep changing the Keyboard controls every new release? It's ridiculous! Set the keyboard commands and keep using them. This release the brakes will be this key command...next release it's completely different. I'm tired of learning an entirely new keyboard commands every release.

    Why do the designers of MS flight Simulator keep changing the Keyboard controls every new release?

    many adjustments are made in sequence, you can change the key binds to whatever you want

    Using MS Flight Simulator as a teaching aid for aerospace engineering

    Hello, Francisco. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

    How is your setup to install MS Flight Simulator? I mean, if you own a flight institution (or aeronautical engineering institution) with computers, you can install and license MS Flight Simulator on these computers and let the students use these computers on your education institution.

    Now if you want to license MS Flight Simulator to be used on your students home computer (which will change like every year or so), it'll be a different situation.

    I think the best option for you is to contact Microsoft about Flight Simulator by submitting a support ticket here (it's the official MS Flight Simulator Support channel):

    Mouse and Keyboard suck for simulation; you need an actual flight stick.

    Also, Gaijin did mouse and keyboard controls perfectly for Arcade Mode.

    pilot handbook MSFS 2020

    Hi,

    I've found a link with all the keyboard controls
    here


    To play Flight Simulator 2020 you don't actually need any piloting skills. If you set the skill level to easy you don't need to concern yourself with the more complex parts of the simulation.

    If you want simple controls, buy an Xbox One controller. The game fully supports these controllers. Some elements may still need the keyboard, but for a rookie, the controller is the best way to start.

    There are also loads of video guides on YouTube.

    Flight Simulator?

    MS ruined Flight Sim with their last version of it and trying to turn it into a F2P game. Not having the whole world available and you had to pay for pieces of it. I wouldn't have minded if they gave you the whole world but you paid to have highly detailed
    sections (hell, you couldn't just fly around the world even if you wanted to pay for all the sections). This is pretty much equivalant to what EA did with SimCity when they made the plots smaller (They took away something that was inherant to the game and
    made it worse). Yes, I'm bitter (not a huge MS fan but Flight Simulator was one of the few things they used to do that I really did find done quite well. I liked it better than Pro Pilot).

    But as for your idea, for the real, non ruined version of Flight Simulator that was actually a good job at simulating flight, consoles just don't have enough buttons to do a serious flight simulator (There's a lot of controls you need to be able to control
    and I just don't see how they could have a control scheme that would let you do all if it, at least not without being super awkward).

    Some games are really only good for some types of computers due to controls. And flight simulators belong on a computer that has a keyboard.
