    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Creating Helicopter Mapping keys

SOH-CM-2026
This video explains Joystick key bindings for FS2024 helos. The issue I have is my joystick (Logitech extreme pro) is set up using the hat switch for views from left/right and center and the helo would be using the hat switch for helo movements which conflicts the function of the hat switch for airplane use.

So it looks like I can use my stick either for the airplanes or Helos (one or the other) and not both unless some one can show me some thing different so that I can
use the stick for both airplanes and helos.

 
You can use your stick for both. You can create a control profile for airplanes and one for helicopters (you could even create a different control profile for every aircraft, if you were so inclined). Once you're in an aircraft and created a profile for that one, you can use it in a different aircraft by selecting that profile when you're in the new aircraft. Each aircraft will remember the profile you used the last time, so there's no need to re-select them each time. I have one profile I use for yoke aircraft, one for stick aircraft, and one for helicopters. I also have one with the trim wheel on my throttle quadrant reversed 'cause some planes have it reversed for some reason.
I think there are lots of guides on YouTube for setting up different profiles for different aircraft.
