PS4 HOTAS Bindings for Chapter 4

I have no wish to try and manually bind all that. I'm just going to try and learn how to play with a standard PS4 controller... I guess... at least until they've resolved the HOTAS issue.

Argh!! Now way, FDev could as well Change the Pilotseat in your Ships to a Shorts wearing bald guy with a big beer belly siting on a rubbed trough Couch Holding a DS4! To make it more realistic!
 
The remapping for the new modes when settings for 3.2 are not erased was very very easy for 3.3
HUD mode switch was added to X+O for me
FSS mode was added to Trigger + L3
Cursor movement.. up, down, left, right, axis was mapped to the Joystick axis... step in/out Zoom to D-pad/hat up/down, radio scan wave length to Left/right of d-pad/hat switch... fast zoom in/out to R2/L2...
set target to item scanned set to X.

DSS Reverse side of planet view set to trigger and hold button setting...
Night vision is left as a menu use on ship functions screen did not need to remap...
Very quick... when your pre 3.2 settings are not erased...

The DSS probe shooting brings back mass effect 2 flash backs looking for resources... way more fun than the FSS mode...

The FSS scan is way to dry and cold..

Step by step bindings? PLEASE!

You know who is behind this update right? :) :)

I have only played with a HOTAS, sad to see this was missed..

Not sure I want to deal with trying to figure out all those previous bindings...

Could anyone who is reset the bindings for the HOTAS post screen shots of the individual bindings on PS4? I tried to set a few but I can't get it right and playing with the default controller after a year with HOTAS is extremely hard, especially when you are way out in the black and trying to get home and not cook yourself while fuel scooping.
 
Same here. The game has forgotten about my HOTAS completely... In controller layout a Tflight HOTAS context appears, but in the Controls menu I only have the choice between default and classic. The HOTAS will not contol the ship at all. It appears all I can do now is rebind the whole set up again myself... uuurrhhhghg

Perhaps depends on how your custom mapping looked, not sure. For me, I don't seem to be missing any. I only had to configure the new ones (FSS etc.).

Hi - I posted the default config for TFlight 4 HOTAS here ->
 
Very very angry and annoyed!

Why can’t they fix it?!

Have waited and waited for the latest update for thus HOTAS problem
 
I have now spent six hours reviewing and searching posts for simple answers that are just not out there. I’ve spent another three hours trying to make individual bindings for FSS mode in the HOTAS us and nothing seems to work.
I don’t understand in a community this size with as many smart people as there are why no one has taken the initiative to post the bindings that actually work! Like many others as a Consol player I’m about to hang it up until an answer comes out that is easy to use and simple to follow. Call me whatever name you want it doesn’t matter I’m not stupid I’ve spent a lot of time trying to figure it out and it’s just not intuitive, there are plenty of other people in the same boat so I know it’s not just me.
Is it too much to ask of someone who has figured this out to spend an hour posting the bindings that work for FSS mode with the HOTAS? PLEASE!!!!!!!!
 
My Hotas4 default bindings where removed due to update 3.3, remapped everything but cannot find bindings for galaxy map submenu, (unable to type in locations or even navigate the submenu in any way, keep having to switch to ds4 controller and religious every time I want to set a location, seriously infuriating.
 
Mr

I got the blue screen of PS4 error message when thrown out of Elite, reported it and went straight back to the game, only to be confronted by the Corrupted Save malarky that a lot of people got. Didn't press ok on that message, just ignored and went back to the game, only to find that BOTH PS4 Controller and Thrustmaster HOTAS for PS4 not working!!
Deleted EVERYTHING Elite related from PS4 ( that's game config and save file, plus app data and game itself) and then downloaded and reinstalled it.
The PS4 Controller now works, but there is no recognition of THRUSTMASTER HOTAS for PS4 whatsoever!!
I am used to playing ELITE DANGEROUS with the throttle & stick of a HOTAS. Do I REALLY have to get used to using a PS4 Controller??
 
Unrelated subject but today I’ve been recieving bounties for killing enemy factions in cz’s, doubt this is intended, but I hop in, choose a side and open up on enemy craft, then receive bounty’s for “murdering” them 🤔
 
What I did:

  • Start the game with the Hotas, write down all the new controls as marked in-game with an exclamation point ON A PIECE OF PAPER
  • Start the game with the DS4 and set the control scheme to the default context
  • Write down all the default DS4 bindings for the new controls
  • From these it's possible to approximate bindings that are a fit for the Hotas (and see which controls are not mapped by default).

This is the result for me. Seems to work fine in the game.

Just thought I'd put this here as some fixes have been patched in for PS4 HOTAS 4

Greetings Commanders,

....snip...

Controls

  • Fixed occasional complete loss of control input in various situations
  • X52 and X56 presets should be be available once again
  • Fixed a binding issue with T-Flight HOTAS X that caused the confirm options not to be navigable
  • Fixed SRV UI going missing when using the open Codex shortcut
  • Fixed issues with the HOTAS 4 controller on PS4

Crashes/Stability

  • Fixed various crashes on PS4

....snip
 
Anybody, except me, having issue with using the hat switch to assign power to weapon, system, etc., when in the SRV? Works fine for me on the ship, but when I'm in the SRV nadda. Combo's I have assigned, like X + left hat are working fine.

I don't see anything in the binding menu for the hat switches themselves that makes me think I need to bind them when in the SRV separate from when in my ship. Hoping someone can confirm or put me on the correct path before I open a support/bug ticket.
