Hey Commanders,
So I’m just starting to play ED Horizons seriously, and am looking for some advice on what bindings are and aren’t important. I’ve looked at a lot of the reference cards on the bindings backup tool, so I have a general idea as to how I should set my bindings. I use two VKB Gunfighter Kososima’s (dual sticks for combat and precision flying like landing), one stick with a Virpil CM v3 Throttle, and a set of Slaw Viper Pedals with both HOSAS and HOTAS modes.
Should I be using the “Alternate Controls Toggle” binding for when I switch between HOSAS and HOTAS? I know that there are two columns in the control binding menu, but the second box is grayed out on all of the main axis bindings. There are two slots open for something like Throttle Increase and Throttle Decrease, but the analog axis binding row (like the axis that controls both “throttle increase” and “throttle decrease”can only be binded once. The second box on the right is grayed out and isn’t selectable.
On the right stick, I have the X axis assigned to yaw, and the Y axis to pitch. The pedals are set for forward/ backward thrust on the toe brakes, and no binding for the rudder axis. For HOSAS (with the left stick and no throttle), I have thrust left, right, up, and down assigned to the X and Y axis’s (stick forward is down, stick back is up, left is left strafe, and right is right strafe. And with HOTAS, throttle is set to the main axis (with a button assigned to toggle forward/backwards), and all of the vertical/horizontal thrust (strafe) are assigned to the analog slew stick (it’s like a thumb stick on a PS4 or XBOX controller).
My goal is to be able to switch between HOSAS and HOTAS depending on the situation. I want to use my VR headset but not until I get the bindings sorted and somewhat memorized. Does anyone have any recommendations about which bindings are essential, which device I should put them on, and where the best area (hats, buttons, triggers...) to bind them on the device is? If anyone uses the same device setup (or any one of them) and has a visual binding assignment map, I would really, really appreciate it if you would allow me to reference it. Or even if you have completely different gear but have mapped out all of the important bindings with a diagram/ map, I’d really appreciate your help. If someone helps me get this sorted out or has a binding profile map for a setup like or similar to mine, I’ll make it worth your while (something like a livery package, in game currency, or some other kind of premium content from the frontier store). I know that creating binding profiles that are both complex and smooth/intuitive is no simple task and requires a great deal of time/effort, so I would insist on rewarding someone who helps me with it. Thanks for reading my post. I look forward to being a part of the ED community and getting the most out of the game!
Cheers,

. Seriously - it depends on what you're doing. What I find important, especially in VR:
