    Description

    FS2020Control: Export Control Settings in Microsoft FS2020 (FS2024?) to SQLite, Excel and PDF

    FS2024: 

    This release contains a temporary workaround for users who got the message "Multiple settings directories found; don't know which one you want" when installing FS2024. Since I have no FS2024 yet, I cannot test this, but you can now choose which installation you want. You have to do this every time you start the game. When I can test it here, I will make the settings persistent in a future revision.

    With only one installation, the app should start without questions asked.

    What the app does
    • Tries to find the settings files of the controls and scans all 
    • Writes all settings into an SQLite Database, which can be used by advanced users to generate custom reports;
    • Displays all control settings, allows for a subset selection and sort order for reporting;
    • Generates a PDF reference sheet;
    • Generates an Excel file with sortable and selectable entries.

    Database, Excel and PDF file are stored in directory Documents/FS2020Key with names such as FS2020Controls_Mouse_A300.pdf. The directory is created when it does not exist.

    Installation
    • Unzip SetupFS2020Control.zip into a temporary directory
    • Double-click `setup.exe`
    • You can delete all temporary files after installation
    • To start the program, type FS2020Control (part is enough) after clicking start. You can create links to FS2020Control from the popup menu.
    Main Window

    Since Version 1.3.0: When you have made a change in FS2020, files will be deleted and re-created. A slow blinking label in the menu indicates that a Reload is required.

    Since Version 1.4.1: 

    When you double-click an item in the upper left data grid, you can select to open the file with the associated application for XML on your computer, or with Notepad by default. I recommend installing Notepad++ for XML files because it has a nice color coding.

    See the github repository  for details

    A marvelous bit of work! Thank you. (Small Keyboard on laptop, so no number pad). Also did lists of my xbox controller, which is mainly just doing cameras. And Thrustmaster Joystick config. Pdf option crashed out, but Excel fine, opened in advance. Some Win 11 complaints during install, and anti virus got upset, but that's Windows for you...

    The program somehow "works" in FS2024, but I still do not understand the way planes handle their private settings.

    Thank you so much for this very helpful program, I found my flight controller Hotax X in MSFS Control System but there is not any key binding at all. So this helping me a lot to set my always used mappings from 2020 much faster and also in order!! 👌👏

    If you can find a way to import the export into MSFS2024, I'm willing to have your babies.

    As I wrote, I have no FS2024, so I cannot test it. I tried a guess in 4.1, but it seems to fail.
    So it would be helpful if you could qualify how it "does not work". Is this the Steam version (I do not have it)?

    Thanks. Corrected. Nothing else changed, just the number in the title

    FS2020 Control

    Prints active control settings for keyboard, mouse and other devices, and creates Excel/SQlite file of assignments. You can select one or more multiple actors to print in PDF. If you want to create your own list of keyboards assignment, using the Excel worksheet is a good starter to avoid diving into Microsoft's pseudo-XML.
