Controls for autopilot, heading, altitude, nav
So after not really using flight simulator 2020, and getting flight simulator 2024 some time ago, I finally had some time to use it.
I have done some of the career missions using two ursa minor fighter joysticks, the left one is angled. I think I got it years ago to use on space sims. I have a throttle base in a box somewhere.
I wanted to get into using autopilot and nav. I have seen some people mentioning stream deck as a controller. Is that a decent option for hdg, alt, and maybe vertical and horizontal trim or radio? I think radio switches to the appropriate channel in career mission, it's just a confirm button.
I am a software and embedded engineer, so I had another idea of making a keyboard/controller with a few knobs, but don't know if it's necessary if stream deck can do the job. Are people satisfied with the stream deck? any issues?
Sketch of what I had in mind,
