HOTAS to Twin Sticks: It's like learning to pilot all over again!

Blimey!

I really enjoy the connectivity of your ship with the twin sticks but I totally suck. It is great fun too. I am using the left stick for up down and left right and rudder pedels for forward and backwards. Very natural in combat but when it comes to the easy stuff... well!

So the docking challenge then:
Before (using HOTAS)

and after (using Twin Stick plus rudder)

Wow! :O :(

Practice! Practice! Practice!

The vids don't explain it, I still don't get how you replace a thruster with the 2nd stick.

The first video is me being able to pilot because I am using HOTAS. The second is me not being able to pilot because and being all over the place :D

I use the pedals for forward and back thrusters. The stick does side to side and up and down. I only use the throttle in SC. :) This totally works for me if I am in combat but for all other senarios I suck!
Just messing about (canyon running, docking etc), I am a much better pilot with the pedals configured as up and down and the stick as side to side and forward and backward. But I struggle to get on with this when I am in combat.

I don't know what to work on:
training for combat using mess about config
training for mess about using combat config

I dont really want to set up alt controls.
What would you do?

I'm still a bit confused. Which 'the stick' is doing those actions, or are they duplicated across both sticks?
