I play games on a laptop, and I'm a Game Pass subscriber. Right now I'm using a DualSense for my gamepad of choice.
I wanted to check out Flight Simulator. I'm not an airplane guy, don't have a HOTAS, etc. Just curious. I downloaded the game, started it up and made a random flight plan. When it dropped me in to the plane I immediately realized I was at a disadvantage, as the game assumes you are playing on a full-sized PC keyboard...
It suggested I use CTRL + NUM Del to release the parking brake. I have no numpad because I'm on a laptop.
The game did recognize my gamepad, and upon Googling my options I realized that Y+B releases the parking brake. Unfortunately, I guess the DualSense is set up differently because what should have been the Y+B were not recognized...
All of this to say I spent another twenty minutes or so trying to figure out how to customize inputs/key bindings. And that whole system is just unintelligible. I found the 'toggle parking brake' input, but when I tried to click different button options to set them as inputs, nothing happened.
My real question, I guess: Are there any pre-set/pre-loaded controller options for laptops that I could just download and add to the game? Or would I really have to go in to the key bindings and reassign every, single control option so that it works on my laptop? Because if that's the case then I'll just uninstall the game. I'm not that interested.
