playing with a controller but it shows me the pc controls in the tutorial and i have no idea what to do microsoft flight simulator
I am doing the first tutorial and I can't even get through that. I am using a controller, and it's asking me to do all this camera stuff and it literally won't tell me how to, but instead shows me what i would have to do on keyboard and mouse.
And either way, I don't even have a numpad on my keyboard.
Can someone help? I thought since this is a Microsoft game it would go well with a xbox controller.

I’m having similar problems too. The short version is this isn’t a game so much as it is a simulator. There simply isn’t enough buttons on the controller to perform all the activities necessary to flying a plane. You’ll need to use a keyboard in conjunction with a controller to manage all the intricacies of flying.
Luckily, there are enough assists that this is manageable and you can operate the plane without the tutorial if you practice enough.

The Xbox 360 Controller for Windows combines the ease of a joystick with the ergonomics of a game controller. Flight Simulator is compatible with joysticks, yokes, game pads, and other controllers supported by Microsoft Windows and the DirectInput device standard.FS2020: Flying Using the Keyboard Only?? + My settings and Tips!
