Community Event / Creation Custom setups for T.Flight Hotas X, Xbox 360 and Keyboard+Mouse (Reference sheets)

Help came from this thread (from the link in my previous post above about the print tool:

JGM writes:
"Your issue is probably that you have multiple .binds files in your %LOCALAPPDATA%\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings directory with the same name inside the XML file. Commonly this is because you manually copied an existing file to make a backup but don't alter the contents of the file.

If you look at the second line of your custom binds file you'll see it say something like:

<Root PresetName="Custom" MajorVersion="1" MinorVersion="8">

You need to change the PresetName to something else, for example:

<Root PresetName="Backup" MajorVersion="1" MinorVersion="8">

or of course just delete the backup file(s) or move them to another directory.

The web site does allow users to mark their bindings as public but there is no internal directory of them so they aren't searchable at the moment. It's something that I'd like to add but I don't have a lot of time at current so it's unlikely to make it for at least the next month."

Here's what I Did..
I created a new directory and moved my Backup files into it. Tried a couple of changes and it held.

Thanks JGM

Thanks Crab, love the mappings!!

One thing.. Can you safe disengage from SC using these HOTAS bindings ?? I've been trying a few ways but I can't seem to find it and I normally have the keyboard set to one side while flying

Yes, it is same key like for SC. On Stick = Shift 1(red) + Button 9 (first button on throttle stick)
 
Hi im trying to use my xbox one controller with this bind setup but its not working i cant seem to get the binding to show up and i dont understand how to set it up by myself
 
For some reason it is not working for me. Extracted the files in the right place, chose it on the options menu, clicked 'apply', and yet most of the buttons don't work. Anyone else have run into the same issue?

For example, the buttons for power distribution only work left and right, but not up or down.

Sorry guys, but my setups works absolutly fine.

Instalation is very simple and if do you have any problem, always try delete all other custom bind files from "c:\Users\<User name>\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings" or equal.

Tested on XBox 360 controller and TF Hotas X only. Any other controllers are not with this setups supported.

Yeah, the issue is on my end. I tried it with the previous binding I had and am now having the same problem, so it is definitely not your setup. I was just wondering if anyone else had similar problems with their config. I have tried both "c:\Users\<User name>\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings" and "C:\Users\<User name>\AppData\Local\Frontier_Developments\Products\elite-dangerous-64\ControlSchemes", but the results have been the same.
 
UPDATE: It works!

Here is how I got around to it. Started doing my own bind in-game, then quit. Opened up my custom.bind file and Crab's, and compy pasted everything after

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><Root PresetName="T.Flight Hotas X Crab setup v6.00" MajorVersion="1" MinorVersion="8">
<KeyboardLayout>cs-CZ</KeyboardLayout>

My <KeyboardLayout> is UK, so I figured that my be the issue. Don't know if it was, but the mapping is working now, so I'm not complaining.

Great setup, thanks Crab!

Can I use the t-flight hotas for flying and my xbox pad for the srv?

I have been able to do this. However, my 360 pad seems to need disconnecting then reconnecting before starting ED. This may be an issue with my PCs USB ports though.

FD change something again. Before all binds automaticaly change to used keybobard layouts. We must hope to fix in future patches.

Can you upload your fix somewhere, please? I will post your fixed keybinds for uk-EN in OP. Thx
btw. Xbox keybinds must be fixed too. Sadly, I am not able do it, because game do not accept, when I switch to EN layout and still change to my lang cs-CZ.
 
Guys hello..

I need that SRV enabled controller sheet.
I cant fly with my controller easily so i decided to switch to keyboard + mouse but unfortunately the sheet here is gone :(
Can somebody please share the setup s/he's using?
 
Hello Crab,

Do you have an editable version of the SRV Xbox map? I've made a copy of the one for the ship, but can't seem to find the file for SRV. Only finding the preview for SRV.


Thanks,
Davo
 
First lemme say thanks for this. I would have never bought ED if I had to manually setup the controls myself. Finding this thread pretty much convinced me to get ED even though I had a Hotas X for ages.

Anyway can I get a high-res black and white version of the scheme? I have dual monitors and use the second as a reference, only I inverted the colors. a fullsize 1920x1080p version that its black and white or a template I could download so I could do it myself would be great, thanks!
