Controls help - Profile for vkb gladiator nxt dual sticks please.

Post by Skymont » Sat, 27. May 23, 17:21

Bought this game a few days ago, but its too much of a pain to deal with mapping controls to my sticks (vkb gladiator nxt dual sticks)
not having played the game I dont know what controls I would need or want bound to the sticks, so If i just bind stuff blindly not having any priorities im going to spend the next month constantly rebinding stuff and im just not going to want to play this game.
so if anyone has a control profile for dual NXT's or could help me make a decent profile to start out with (rather than binding things randomly with no idea what im doing) that would be greatly appreciated

I don't have Gladiators, but do have HOTAS. What actions do I use / have bound?

The X, Y, Z axes, obviously. Fire guns, Fire secondary/Long range scanner (L). Toggle flight assist off/on.
Select Nearest Target, Select target, next&previous target. Next&previous surface element. Deselect target.
Next&previous primary weapon group, next&previous secondary weapon group. Toggle turrets off/on.
Match target speed, Full stop. Boost. Action/Select (F). Container magnet (O).
Scanner mode, Travel mode, Long range scanner mode. Request Dock (Shift-D). Scan target.
Throttle axis. Deploy anti-missile decoy.
Analog four-way hat has strafe in flight and walk on platforms.

Are all these necessary? Probably not. Are there other handy things? The "deploy sat/mine/tower/probe" could be.
Goner Pancake Protector X
Insanity included at no extra charge.
There is no Box. I am the sand.
