When you load FSX, the game will automatically detect the X65F and a basic default control configuration will be loaded to the device. If you want to jump straight in, then just click Fly now.
If you want to change the basic default setup in FSX, start with the buttons:
- Go to Settings > Controls > Buttons/Keys.
- Make sure that the X65F is selected in the Controller Type menu; otherwise FSX will not recognise the assignments you are trying to make.
Setting up your axes is very similar, except it is handled on the Control Axes page. Again, make sure the X65F is selected in the Controller Type menu.
For example, to set Elevator Trim to one of the rotary wheels, double-click the entry in the Event column for Elevator Axis, and then move your rotary of choice. When the axis designation appears, click OK to confirm.
The final thing to do before you fly is to make sure that the sensitivities of the axes are set. To do this:
- Go to Settings > Controls > Calibration.
- Select the X65F in the controller type menu.
- Select the Advanced Controls option.
Aileron – Sensitivity 75%, Null Zone 5%
Elevator – Sensitivity 75%, Null Zone 5%
Throttle – Sensitivity 100%, Null Zone 0%
Rudder – Sensitivity 75%, Null Zone 5%
A good rule of thumb is to set similar axes functions to the same settings. For example, if you wanted to set the Mixture axes (a lever control) to the Precision Slider, then set the calibration sliders to the same values as the throttle axis.
