I need a few GOOD Answers to One question : OK....Not many of my key commands on my key board do any thing like the key command is supposed too The key board shows as my default and i swapped it with another and same thing.... And i keep getting the set altimeter over and over....I set it and it keeps coming back.....Help me figure this out Thank you. Plus ONLY a Very few on the Joy Stick works as suspected.

MSFS key commands are very different to the usual ones we had in FSX or P3D.
Additionally, if you had set a "custom" profile for the key assignments in the sim settings, some of these assignments might have been lost due to various sim updates.
For example, on my brothers computer, the assignments to activate/deactivate VR mode were completely missing, because he was using his custom profile.
Once we switched back to a standard/default keyboard profile in the sim settings, everything went back to normal.

For the assignments you did for your joystick buttons/axis, you might want to check if your joystick is still recognized by the sim as the joystick 1 or if, instead, it is now recognized as another joystick.
So to summarize, first of all, ensure your assignments are correctly set in the sim settings.

Also make sure you press F11 or click Save on screen when you've made changes to any settings. If you'd like a list of the key commands, you can download it from the official forums here: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/reference-keyboard-shortcuts-guide/167151

Thank you both for the reply back....I am going to do the checks as you asked me to do....And in the settings panel.....what will the expand/collapse do....Their is not a thing that tells about this setting. our Flight sims in the past came with a big nice manual for them..now days we dont get a thing not even a manual that is printable.

There are many video tutorials on YouTube, here's one showing the settings menus and how to use them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i4bjuzwoaM
