You're welcome!
BTW, you might want to check the Yaw deadzone - I had to set it up quite big because my stick developed a drift, I reckon most won't need so big deadzone...

I have used both - replaces Force 3D with Extreme 3D...
The force needs to be tweaked a little !!! View attachment 92962View attachment 92963

I'm using this. I didn't have to change anything in my settings/file - it showed up as Logitech 3D Extreme Pro in the game options after I imported this file into the correct folder. Only problem is, probably because I'm totally new to the game - how do I go forward? Like fly around? I feel like I just float there.
Push the throttle lever forward.
Have you done any of the tutorials? They help you get grasp of the basics.
Yeah that's all I'm doing right now, flying around trying to learn controls while in training.
Question :
I recently reinstalled the game after several months of not playing.
I have done so via Steam.
I have taken the file and placed it into the appropriate steam files according to what I have read here, and in the place that also makes since logically.
When I log into the game, I only see 4 profiles possibly. No other options than the generic ones, such as keyboard/mouse or general joystic and blank, or something of that nature.
Yet, the control scheme folder is full of potential options to choose from.
Any ideas as to why all the options are missing?
In the mean time, I am going to see if I can find the downloader from Frontier and install the game through them instead of steam. Or I hope I can.
More often than not, some games never seem to run correctly from Steam.

OK, I've not been playing this in a while and I've recently re-downloaded this setup, None of it appears to be implementing though, having to completely customize all aspects, am i installing it wrong? I cant find where to drop it in my EDLaunch folder (as the pathway doesnt exists past hosting all the launch stuff) and I've pasted it in my appdata, still nothing?

Hello Zieman, I just got my new E3D Pro joystick yesterday, I am having trouble to assign / apply controls as I haven't used any joystick so far, is there any chance to prepare a tutorial video for beginners I was searching whole forums and you were the only one providing all details at once. Thanks very much

Here are my bindings (ref sheet and download): https://www.mcdee.net/elite/binds/gkmnym
I use most of the base buttons as modifiers to let me control more functions without taking my hands off the stick.
For exploration I switch to this variation: https://www.mcdee.net/elite/binds/jdooey
Here reverse thrust and toggle FA are hold rather than toggle, because accidentally leaving them on during planetary flight can be disastrous, and heat sinks are
Ctrl-Shift-V rather than just V because they can't be synthesised and I got tired of using them by accident.

I got mine during Premium Beta, before the official release. I thought it was great, apart from a slight yaw to the left which I couldn't get rid of, so I adjusted the deadzone.
Last year, I went on holiday for a couple of weeks. Next time I booted my PC and started the game, the yaw had increased significantly, and was pitching down as well. I increased the deadzones a bit, and since then, I've been yanking it (sometimes quite forcibly) right & up when the drift comes back. That seemed to sort it out.
I came back from holiday this year, downloaded the 2.2 Beta, started the game, and launched.
My reaction was unprintable on these forums. My ship was twisting and turning like a bag of epileptic squid on acid and I hadn't even left the launch pad. With my Logitech gripped tightly and twisted in the most unnatural fashion, I managed to leave the station, then boosted to a safe distance before playing around with the control settings...
I finally got it to stop pitching and yawing, but increasing both deadzones to over 50% of the entire range.
Now, I can use yaw, sometimes.
Making minor adjustments to my pitch while fuel scooping is now extremely hazardous.
Landing is difficult.
I havent' really tried combat with the new deadzones yet, but I suspect I would find it frustrating.
The thing is... I have gone to Logitech's website and searched... I have googled it...
I have not been able to find a utility to calibrate the bloody thing! The standard setup software has a tab where I can see the bars stretching to the left and down, showing me that it's 'd, but there is no way to tell it "this means 0:0:0. Make it so."
Can anyone please provide a link to instructions or software that will let me calibrate the stupid thing? Or do I need to spend >£100 on a Warthog or similar?
Thanks Eversomuch
