Windows 10: MS-Flight Sim 1.37.19, only shows controller controls and not keyboard/mouse controls...

first; On the official Flight Simulator forums, i cant for the life of me figure out how to create a post there, but i searched around couldnt find a topic of anyone discussing this issue...There are many games out there that will automatically switch the on screen visual button assigned to that control or element, to whatever device it detects, if you hit a controller button it will show you controller button indicators, and if you hit a key on your keyboard or mouse it will detect that and switch to showing you buttons for keyboard/mouse.Flight Simulator doesnt do this it would seem like th

Keyboard & Mouse or Controller

I use the Xb360 controller for racing games and 3rd person like Tomb Raider and walking around in GTA 5. My usage for GTA 5 in particular is interesting: I use XB360 controller to drive and walk around there, and when I know I could be shooting I switch to KB + mouse. When I drive and need to shoot, I also drive with keyboard while shooting with mouse. Shooting with XB360/controller for me is a no-go it's nowhere near as precise compared to a mouse.

 

Keyboard & Mouse or Controller

I just use the 360 wired for driving in GTA V and mouse and keyboard for shooting. Bikes are much easier to use with the controller but the aiming is terrible with it.
