Keyboard and HOTAS Reference Sheet Generator

[bigity]

I just got a Thrustmaster FCS and have done up a binding sheet and when I use the generator to create a sheet, I get a button I don't see a mapping for in game show up as 'camera z hold'.

I don't find any such mapping, unless I've missed it the few times I've looked.

Do you have a reference?

Do you have a reference?

A bindings file?

Bought a new hotas, can't remember the binds... this will prevent me from randomly deploying heat sinc.

A bindings file?

When you get your reference sheet there should be a URL at the top. There is a six-character reference at the end of it, which I can use to take a look at the file.

For those of you with joysticks I don't support at the moment (X-45/X65-F/etc): I'm struggling to find suitable images of them. I need high-resolution images with a clean white background at various angles so that between them all of the buttons are visible. This usually means three images: joystick at a suitable angle, throttle at a suitable angle, and throttle head-on. Taking the X-55 as an example the template looks like this:

If it's just a joystick then I can get away with something that's more straight on, for example:

So if you can find images that match these requirements it would be a real help.

Ah gotcha.

Hi JGM,

For the X45, the best one I'd found was this one:

Spoiler

If it's suitable I can edit it to remove the existing text.

Thanks,

Wonderful utility...was messing with the binds file in Excel and then thought "someone MUST have done this already by now..." - and you have!

Wondered if you could support my hoary old Cyborg EVO? (some of us are on a budget...if anyone is of a mind to post something like "Dude, get a HOTAS"...put your money where your mouth is and I'll send you my Paypal details...all contributions gratefully received!)

Alternatively, will these images do for the stick?

Meanwhile, I'll offer something simple that might be of help to some when planning keybindings...the attachment is a .txt file list of every parameter that the .binds file in your Options folder holds; 254 in total, though some are definitely optional (ie incremental throttle settings for keyboard users probaby not much use to those using a continuous throttle...)

Alphabetical order too, cos that's how they come out - not nicely grouped like on the options screen! Sorry!

Hello,

I hope anyone of these images will work for the Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital 3D.





And awesome work dude!

Hello

I have set me multi crew field of view axis to my right pedal on my CH Products Pro Pedals. However, the generation tool is showing as the left pedal.

I think this is a bug.

Also, Some of my keyboard bindings are not showing. For example, I am missing Camera Suite Camera - Back (F8) and Camera Suite Camera - Low (F9).

Thank you for reporting this. I've updated the code with the updated pedal configuration, and also put in the proper names for the cameras so they should now show up correctly.

One major QoL improvement for Xbox controllers would be to make the modifier color code adjust to the color of the XYAB buttons.



This is one of the most useful tools for ED, Thanks for all the work [smile]

I rely on this fantastic resource. Thanks for making it.

With 2.3 landing yesterday, and Custom bindings file going to 2.0, the X56 controls are fine, the XBOX controls are not being printed out, which is a shame because I set it up for free camera.

Your URL code is wullaw

Revised my bindings for the Thrustmaster FCS HOTAS:

With headlook: http://www.mcdee.net/elite/binds/gzfrfr

One thing that surprised me is that where I expected to see "Next camera" and "Prev camera" it says "Camera right" and "Camera left" instead. Looks like FD picked confusing tag names in the XML:

	<VanityCameraScrollLeft>
		<Primary Device="Keyboard" Key="Key_W" />
		<Secondary Device="T16000MTHROTTLE" Key="Neg_Joy_RZAxis" />
	</VanityCameraScrollLeft>
	<VanityCameraScrollRight>
		<Primary Device="Keyboard" Key="Key_E" />
		<Secondary Device="T16000MTHROTTLE" Key="Pos_Joy_RZAxis" />
	</VanityCameraScrollRight>

I have one of those too, but I'm lucky enough to only need it as backup when my x5y (y=5,6,...) breaks under warranty and I wait for a replacement. I'd be grateful if you'd share your bindings file.

Hello

I have more of a request/suggestion than a bug to report. I usually attempt to bind as much to my HOTAS and differentiate on the reference sheet generator using colors. However, some of the colors used I find very hard to see, such as yellow (a light color on a white background). My suggestion / request is that we be able to choose the colors for the control groups on the reference sheet generator.

Thank you.

New controler

o7, folks!

I was hoping to have my Nintendo 64 controller added for support. I use it alongside my Hotas X and keyboard for extra bindings. Reference given is ryupze on the tool site.

I'm a brand new player, and still learning.

Thanks,

`Roxy

Hi there

I have a couple of bugs to report.

1 - I have currently bound quite a few controls to my XBox controller on the PC. However, when generating the reference sheet, the image for the XBox controller is generated with the text boxes for it. However, none of the bindings are shown for the XBox controller on the PC. See this image:



2 - For camera suite, I have bound Camera - Co-pilot 1 to F5 and Camera - Co-pilot 2 to F6. However, they are showing as Camera - Co-pilot 15 and Camera - Co-pilot 16 respectively. See this image:



Thank you.

Various updates have been made. For XBox controllers it appears that FDev renamed the controls. I've updated them, but there are some that don't have an obvious translation: if you have an XBox controller please try again and let me know specifically which buttons are missing and what they should be mapped to.

I've changed some of the modifier colours so they should be clearer against the white background.

I've fix the name for the next/previous camera, and removed the co-pilot 15/16 camera typos.
