Microsoft Flight Simulator
AXAIR MIAP24 PRO Controller
I now have this Controller after not being satisfied with Logitech Multipanel for being too simple (just 2 knobs Mode & Data) and the Mode Knob far too stiff and far away from the Data Knob. This Controller which has superceded the tiny MIAP (now not in Production) is very small and huge functions from 8 Press Button Data Knobs plus 13 Buttons which can be Short & Long Press plus some preset Modes like Com & Nav plus 2 SHIFT COMBO KEYS for 2 extra Layers on top of the basic.
The caveat for PC is you must use the Manual to Setup 99% of Binds which you can confirm by the Controller Number they have ready for each. No idea why AXAIR did not supply any Setup Software to link and do this for you but they made excuses it is ASOBO's fault below... However, MSFS shows the Device although is not multo Presets to each Plane as the basic MIAP did but MSFS has so many Binds to allow you so much more custom ones e.g. the actual speed of turning as the INCREASE by 1 is very slow like the Mouse is. You can use say a LONG PRESS to actually be the faster turn rate whilst keeping the SHORT PRESS as suggested for IDENTIFY VOR to hear the signal as confirmation.
N.B. there are a few Bind Names which are not the same label match to their Manual but will be obvious.

Microsoft Flight simulator known limitations:

In the realm of Microsoft Flight Simulator, players have encountered a variety of limitations and challenges related to control mapping and command functionalities. These issues, while significant, stem from the game's development by Microsoft/Asobo and are not a result of any shortcomings in the controllers themselves. Here's a more detailed look, emphasizing this point and the improvements over time:

• Mapping Controls Can Be Tedious: Many players find the process of mapping keyboard controls and joystick buttons within Microsoft Flight Simulator to be cumbersome. This involves a detailed navigation through the controls menu to manually assign each desired command, a process that could be less intuitive for those with more basic or less sophisticated setups.

• Missing or Non-functional Commands: Certain commands critical to an authentic cockpit experience, like the APU Master Switch and fuel pumps, are unassignable and/or non-functional due to their absence in the game's Software Development Kit (SDK). This issue highlights limitations within the game's development rather than issues with the controllers used. Additionally, some commands, while seemingly assignable, do not function as expected, which could indicate a discrepancy or bug within the game’s programming itself.

• Double Assignments and Axis Sensitivity: Players have reported issues with double
assignments, where a single input triggers multiple unintended actions, such as activating the brakes affecting trim settings. This can significantly complicate control during critical maneuvers like taxiing or takeoff. Making adjustments to axis sensitivity and dead zones is a workaround, although it may require extensive trial and error to optimize.

It's crucial to acknowledge that these limitations are recognized by the development team at Microsoft/Asobo. There's a continuous effort to improve the simulator's functionality and user experience with each update. Recent updates have already made strides in addressing these concerns, and there is optimism within the community that future updates will continue to refine and improve these aspects of the game. This progressive approach to development underscores a commitment to enhancing the realism and enjoyment of the flight simulation experience for users across the globe."
