MSFS | Sensitivity Settings for Controllers | How To Guide | Get the control you need

Welcome to part 7 in my How To Guide Series. In this video we cover the sensitivity settings for controllers such as yokes, flight sticks and rudder pedals in Microsoft Flight Simulator. We delve into each configuration option to understand what they do and how they can help make our flight sim experience more realistic.

A look at the sensitivity settings for MSFS. If your using different settings, let me know in the comments below 👍

Mark,
I like to thank you for your time and effort bringing up these informative vids.
As an older flight-simmer I appreciate the videos and they are still helpful.
As I guess with this MSFS a new generation of virtual pilots will find your channel and value the content.
All the best and I keep watching!

First thing, your channel is amazing. Second thing, thank you once again for your help. I am relatively new to the alpha/bravo controls and this really helped with all my planes. The Seneca, Kodiak, CRJ's, Arrows, Zenith and the DC-6. I will probably tweak with these more but you left a good foundation to go off of. Thanks again.

Mark, a very well done tutorial in so many ways. And, you speak in a natural voice that is easy to follow without constantly having to go back and hear it again. Well done, thanks.

[rayjennings]

Excellent advice - as usual. Thankyou and it was good to see the Cessna yoke mentioned. That one seems to have been lost across YouTube but there are probably hundreds of people still using it, including me because of its full range of movement and very much smoother action than the standard Logitech/Saitek yoke.

So far the best explanation of "Sensitivity" settings in MSFS 2020. Very clear and to the point. An excellent teacher.

[mazdajaune]

This tutorial was extremely helpful for my An225 on my Logitech F710 gamepad. I really learned how each setting works and now I'll be able to really make my planes flying like I'm expecting. The AN225 was flying like a paper plane, now it looks heavy and slow. I love it much. Thanks a lot for the tutorial.

I fly the C208B almost exclusively in MSFS and I can't thank you enough for this. You're quite meticulous in your manner of explaining. I have watched your video several times to keep refreshing my recollection on these fine yet essential fine tuning details.

[MrSunlander]

I have always lost track of what is what without this kind of tutorial. Thank you much! Cheers!

[johnburwash]

I recently had to do a re-launch of msfs and once set up reviewed your "sensitivity " video. Your instructions were spot on for my aging ch yoke, pedals and quadrant!
Well done, and thank you.
John

So far this is the best explanation of the controls I have watched or read. My control settings in MSFS have not been exactly good like they are in P3dv5.1 thanks SimHanger.

[shelsmith]

Mark thank you so much for these great tutorials. Incredibly helpful. This one in particular has made a huge difference to the feel of flying my GA aircraft.

[roba]

Once again a very informative and helpful video. I appreciate the well paced manner in which you convey the information - as I switch between YouTube and my PC. Thank you very much for your many contributions to the world of MSFS 2020! You have enhanced my enjoyment greatly.

[jackbackus]

Thanks again for this tutorial sir! I tried to fly the new Kodiak 100 and it was all over the map. I revisited this video, and with some minor tweakings that you suggested, it now a joy to fly.

[mancave-simpilot]

Well well well.. your excellent presentation just made me realise I had some problems I never knew I had, let alone could fix! Kudos to you my friend. My sim experience just got a MAJOR boost. Cheers.

[rekunta]

Thank you very much for this, this is immensely helpful. 🙏🏼

I’ve been meaning to fix the sensitivity and was also having trouble snaking down the runway (the rudder pedals have become a particular annoyance). Good to know that can be fixed. I tried to show my father this sim before I got all the sensitivity worked out, and he managed to do a few acrobatics (loops de loops) in the Cessna 172 because he was massively overcompensating for everything.

[GeoffInfield]

Brand new Thrustmaster T.16000m, everything looks perfect in MS FS 2020 sensitivity settings, in windows calibration when I test pushing the stick forward and back it moves on a 5 o'clock to 11 o'clock line. Calibrated, FIXED. Good start - thanks! :)

[macbec]

Excellent video, lots of good infos. With the last MSFS update, my Alpha Bravo did not respond as they used to be. With your video I correct them and now I am flying as I love it 👌

[rtocarp]

Excellent video and explanation of the various sensitivity settings. Thanks for this an all you videos!

[CaptMoo]

Thank you very much Capt. It takes a lot of time and dedication to do these videos, and you get lil in return. Great explanation and editing. Thank you very much, it helped me a lot!
