With the control axes configured, you can tell X-Plane to treat your joystickвЂ™s current position as the center of its travel by pressing the Use this position as center button. Note: Any bar which is not actively controlled by your hardware needs to be set to none. Move your throttle forward and back (on a yoke, this is typically the leftmost lever).Do the same for the right pedal, and set that green bar to right toe brake. The green or red bar that moves should be set to left toe brake. Additionally, only when using rudder pedals, press the left pedal down with your toes. If you are using rudder pedals, slide them forward and backward and set the green/red bar that moves then to yaw. Once again, do not check the reverse box unless, when flying, the aircraftвЂ™s yaw control is working backward. If you do not assign a yaw axis, X-Plane will attempt to stabilize yaw movement for you. Do not check the reverse box next to this control unless, when flying, the aircraftвЂ™s roll control is working backward. The green or red bar that moves should be set to roll. Move your joystick/yoke left and right.Do not check the reverse box next to this control unless, when flying, the aircraftвЂ™s pitch control is working backward. Click the drop-down menu next to it and set it to pitch.

A green or red bar should move as you do so. Move your joystick or yoke forward and back.The normal configuration of flight controls goes as follows: After assigning that bar to throttle and moving it through its range of motion several times, it will turn green. For instance, before the throttle axis has been configured, moving the throttle might move a red bar. The axis bars are green when they are assigned a function and calibrated, and they are red when they are not calibrated. Each controlвЂ™s desired function is selected from the drop down box to the left of its bar. Thus, when the stick is rolled left and right only one green or red bar will move when it is pushed back and forth another bar will move.

As this is done, one of the green or red bars will move for each input that is actuated. To begin, move the joystickвЂ™s controls around to see how the axes are mapped in X-Plane. If it isnвЂ™t already selected, click on the Axis tab at the top of the screen. This will open the dialog box allowing you to configure and calibrate the flight controls. In X-Plane, move the mouse to the top of the screen and click Settings, then select Joystick & Equipment, as seen in the image below.
