Add a Third bindings group for users with three controllers (like HOTASAS or others stuff setups).

[Psebcool]

Hi,

I use an HOTAS or HOSAS according of my mood, ship or activity that i'm doing in Space Sim.

But, I would like to be able to use both at the same time (HOTASAS ^^) without having to constantly switch my profile in the options. I dream to fly with HOSAS mainly but with my Throttle active for others commands that I can't doing with the dual Stick. It would be the complete ergonomic as possible (as it is with Star Citizen by example).

Is it possible to add a third command for the binds ? - Which mean that a bind can have 3 different keys (one for each controllers in my case).

Thanks ! o7

Im just starting HOTASAS. It is possible to set up alternate flight controls and flip with a key press. I have my lateral thrusters alternately on a left hand stick, or a hat on the throttle, for this purpose. If you get a better idea, let me know!

(warthog throttle, vkb space combat left hand, warthog main stick & crosswind pedals)(

Why do you need a 3rd bindings, if you swap out one controller for another controller, that should be 2 bindings, if you talk about remapping option on the remaining controller, then that is a totally different story, as that is a totally different scenario


So if you swap out the throttle for a another joystick (or the reverse), what is the problem with the two bindings options we currently have?

Maybe it's unclear.

HOTASAS is hands on throttle and stick and stick.

This isn't swapping out a controller. It's having three controllers available and mapped simultaneously

There are times a second stick is perfect
Times a throttle helps
Times you need to switch rapidly between the two

This would be nice. It has been a request since practically the dawn of time. Apparently the gui changes needed are prohibitive and would possibly put console cmdrs at a disadvantage vs hotas if cross playever becomes a thing. The compromise we seemed to have gotten is the desicated buttons for things like heatsinks and chaff etc.

So you have the devices,
Right-stick
Left-stick
Left-throttle

And you would switch between left-stick and left-throttle?

So how does that not work work the current 2 keybinds? You do primary bindings on left-stick and you do secondary bindings on left-throttle (or vice versa), what would you need the third bindings for?

I actually don't- but the control setup uses the second priority column to define inverted/regular for all axis and I do want certain axis on multiple things (eg only my left stick has twist so I want yaw on pedals and stick - stick is way better for fine control with long distance rails)

There is also a case for some things being everywhere - for example I have forward thrust on my primary and secondary stick as hats for controlling distance with minor inputs. I'd like to have it on throttle too as sometimes my fingers are busy on the sticks with minor things like triggers and taking hand off controller for continual micro adjustments doesn't make sense
