Thread: Two different controllers at same time?

    Two different controllers at same time?

    Is anyone switching between two different types of controllers in MSFS? I know it's possible to do so, but I'm curious if there are any interference issues? I have an old Saitek (with some button problems) that I'd like to keep, and am thinking about buying the Thrustmaster Airbus Stick/Throttle to use as well.
    Cheers,
    Dave

    I have a MS X-Box controller connected. It works fine with the rest.

    The nice thing is that you can create a different profile for each controller, and controller type. That way when flying a single engine, fixed pitch- that controller (TQ) is usable. When flying a 4 engine complex aeroplane that TQ is available. It's just a matter of creating a new profile (you can start by copying) and naming it appropriately. I happen to use separate TQs. Then, just select from CONTROLS and off you go. Same thing with a Warthog or PFC Quadrant- depending on the aircraft.

    A CHEAP wired XBox controller is excellent for the Drone Camera control- really worth the $15.

    I bought an Xbox controller for drone use, and as long as there are no extraneous inputs (like when it falls off the stand and leans on a stick), there's no issue.
