![]() ![]() The next assignments were needed for adjusting autopilot settings. Button 30/31 allows zooming without reaching for the mouse. Buttons 28 and 29 allow for easy adjustment while flying the airplane using the stick in your right hand. Vertical trim is established using throttle and elevator. Button 30/31 - The rolling control on the left side of the throttle is bound to all camera zooming functionsīutton 5 was chosen for easy access the button is in a physical location where it is less likely to be activated by accident.Button 4 – Toggle Cockpit /External View.Button 5 – Toggle Autopilot Master – Engage or disengage Autopilot.There are 3 buttons on the front edge of the throttles. TGL 4 – UP = Start Engine DOWN = Toggle Parking BrakeĪt this point I needed more controls, so I moved to the controls on the throttle.TGL 2 – UP = Set Heading Bug + DOWN = Set Heading Bug –.TGL 1 – UP = Heading Hold ON DOWN = Heading Hold OFF.The next assignments were based on easy access and available switches SW 5 = Vertical Speed SW 6 = Flight Level Change.SW 1 = Heading Hold SW 2 = Altitude Hold.At the same time, I wanted to minimize the need to reach for the keyboard and mouse. When making the next assignments/binds I had two primary goals: Provide easy access to navigation functions while grouping them together in a logical manor. I cleared this bind because I am using both throttles as one for now. It caused my engine to die when I moved both throttles to idle. The left throttle default bind was to the mixture control. Hat H2 was a difficult reach for me with my hand around the stick. They appear to be working perfectly with the Logitech software. I was not able to configure Button A, B, D, and pinky in the current version of FS 2020. Up returns the flaps to their neutral position. Hat H2 – Left and right movements provide aileron trim.Go to the sensitivity settings and create small dead zones as needed when the stick is centered. Stick Axis – Default assignments – Aileron, elevator, and rudder operate as expected.Thumb stick C – Default assignments - This stick allows you to pan up, down, left and right in all views.The physical location on the stick and their various views are convenient POV – I left all POV assignments with their default view assignments.If I do not mention any component, it means I chose not to use it or leave the defaults. The X56 system is configured as two separate devices in FS 2020. Most assignments were based on functionality and ease of access while flying. I began with the default assignments for the X56 that came with FS2020 and made modifications as needed. I will try to discuss the logic for my choices as we go along. Keep in mind that these binds may not be applicable for more advanced aircraft such as jets and helicopters. They are only suggestions for the beginners out there that have asked for help getting started. The following H.O.T.A.S suggestions are based on the Cessna 172 S with the Garmin 1000 glass cockpit. As a result, there was a large learning curve when it came to all the nice navaids. The last time I flew a real airplane, VOR was the primary choice for navigation. I have been using FS 2020 since it’s release. small pinky button - brakes (not really used now that I got new pedals).Pinky ‘paddle’ switch - toggle cockpit / external view.Stick: Haven’t changed much from the default mapping here for the most part. Analog stick - drone control in showcase camera view.Top hat switch - directions show / hide VFR Map, ATC, Nav Log, Checklist panels.Knob 1 - Mixture (Throttle is “split” by default, but it’s uncomfortable using it like that, so unmapped mixture from second throttle axis and mapped to the knob axis).Switch 1 - down = parking brake toggle, up is spoiler toggle.Bottom wheel is currently unused, but the clicky selects AP HDG mode.Pinky “clicky” wheel adjusts heading bug.It’s click function toggles the AP ALT mode ![]() ![]() Still experimenting with it, as I only got my X56 a little over a week ago, but this is the meat of it for the time being. Most of those changes are on the throttle and it’s all controls (mostly AP-related) that are a pain in the ■■■■ to use on screen with a mouse due to the plane moving around so much. ![]()
