Hi, I've been mainly flying in DCS the last year and just thought I should give MSFS a go again. The main problem for me in MSFS is how to map my controllers to commands. I exclusively fly in VR so the keyboard is not an option. I fired MSFS up and got frustrated again. Compared to DCS two things stand out: 1. Per plane commands. In DCS commands are given per aircraft, in MSFS you have no clue which command is applicable to which aircraft. 2 The implementation of the "clickable cockpit". Both have buttons and rotaries/dials that can be operated with the mouse buttons/scroll wheel. But the precision in DCS is superior to MSFS. In MSFS I really struggle with operating switches and dials. It really is bad. The worst part is trying to operate a garmin device, and that's where I thought that mapping a control rotary would help. I bought Axis and Oh's but it too complicated (or rather figuring out which command or LVAR etc. to use). A long time ago I bought a Honeycomb throttle, but the stock mapping of buttons seems to only apply to specific aircraft. So my question to the community is if there is a list of commands/ac or commands for the different garmin devices?

Hi! I'm running a HP Reverb G1 and I have a problem with the graphics settings. Objects are not drawn until you get quite close to them. That means I have problem spotting airfields since they just look like some messy blobs. I have tried to adjust the parameters and while the quality of everything looks better, that only happens in close to me. It doesn't seem to affect objects far away. Both in X-Plane and DCS I can adjust this. BTW in VR the difference in graphics compared to X-Plane isn't that great. It depends more on where you fly. Since I fly GA aircraft they both have problems on low altitude. Highways in both sims looks ... , there's room for improvement. So do anyone have an idea of how to increase the distance where objects are drawn?

Hi! I haven't figured out how to set up toe-brakes. For a slider controller like toe-brakes or throttle you would like to have a dead zone at the beginning or the end of the stroke, and be able to shape the curve. Here the dead-zone is in the center of the stroke. Then new (whatever the called it) setting seems not to handle this, it just limits the range seen from the 50% mark. DCS users will now what I'm talking about. Funny that developers cannot see the strong points of other sims. Another great thing in DCS is that you can press a joystick button and you will jump to any assigned command.

In the previous updates there was a direct link in the menus to at least the USA "discovery tour" or whatever it was called. I think it was the same with the Japan update. Now I can't find them. I never bothered with flying in MSFS until VR support came forth so I have just been sitting on MSFS for a couple of moths. Instead I flew with X-Plane and DCS.
