Contact

contact@gramshift.com (English or Japanese). Ideas and bug reports are welcome; every message is read, and the most requested keys go into the next version. For a bug, please write your Windows version, your keyboard layout, where you bought the sim (Steam or Microsoft Store / Xbox app), the aircraft, your Stream Deck app version, your Stream Deck model and which key does not work.

Get started

  1. Install the profile from the Marketplace, or double-click the .streamDeckProfile file for your Stream Deck (MK.2, XL, Neo or +). Files with JP in the name have Japanese key labels.
  2. Change pages with the PREV PAGE and NEXT PAGE keys (MK.2 and XL), the touch points (Neo) or a swipe on the touch strip (+).
  3. Start Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, keep the sim window in front, and press a key or turn a dial.

Keys (the sim's default keyboard keys)

Questions

A key does nothing or does something else.
Each key sends the sim's default keyboard key to the window in front, so keep the sim in front. If you changed a key in the sim's controls, open the key in the Stream Deck app and set its Hotkey to the same key.

How do I change the heading, altitude, speed or VS bug, or the transponder?
Press its SELECT key, then press VALUE UP or VALUE DOWN to change that value.

The trim moves only a little.
Each press of TRIM NOSE DOWN or TRIM NOSE UP trims a little; press again for more.

Mixture also moves the condition lever.
On turboprops the sim uses the same default keys for the condition lever, so MIXTURE RICH and MIXTURE LEAN move it too, as the keys on your keyboard do.

My keyboard has no number pad.
That is fine. VALUE UP sends the number pad + key from the Stream Deck itself.

A letter key types into a box instead.
While you type in a text box, letters go into the box, as with your keyboard. With a Japanese (or other) input method on, switch it to direct input.

My keyboard is not US or Japanese.
The keys are set for US and Japanese layouts. On layouts where a letter sits elsewhere (for example French AZERTY), change that key's Hotkey in the Stream Deck app.

Where are all lights, anti-ice, spoilers arm, auto-throttle disconnect and the COM panel?
Their default keys (; ' \ and Ctrl + ' / Ctrl + \) sit in different places on US and Japanese keyboards, so they stay on your keyboard. You can add them yourself with a Hotkey action in the Stream Deck app.

Can a key hold the brakes or the rudder?
A Stream Deck key sends one short press, so held and moved controls (rudder, smooth throttle, brakes, looking around) stay on your keyboard, joystick or yoke.

Do I need to add anything to the sim?
No. The keys use the keys the sim already has, so nothing is added to the sim.

Which Stream Deck models?
Stream Deck MK.2, XL, Neo and +.
