Horizons 3.3.05 has already been released, here's my selectable (although somewhat outdated, as I use different joystick nowadays) bindings file for Horizons (Elite: Dangerous 3.0.05 & onwards) ³ :
app.box.com
File goes to:
<Your E: D Install Dir>\EDLaunch\Products\elite-dangerous-64\ControlSchemes ¹
ALERT !
This particular file if for Finnish keyboard layout.
You may need to edit (or delete) line 3 of the file to make it work.
Do not use Windows Notepad, it may render the file inoperable - working editors are for example
Windows Wordpad, or the excellent
Notepad++.
To find correct language code for you:
- start the game
- go to options/controls
- hit APPLY
- open Custom.3.0.binds (found in
C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings
AppData is a hidden folder)
- if line 3 is <KeyboardLayout>xy-XY</KeyboardLayout> (xy-XY is your language code), just change the "fi-FI" part in LogitechExtreme3Dpro2300.binds to that
- if there is no line <KeyboardLayout>xy-XY</KeyboardLayout>, delete it from LogitechExtreme3Dpro2300.binds

Added "U" and "I" as additional (digital) Yaw controls, since my stick's twist axis started acting up.

I assigned SRV controls to mimick ship flight controls.

- Button 4 toggles Turret Mode
- Turret right/left = mouse right/left
- Turret up/down = mouse up/down
- Fire weapons = Trigger (Button 1) or Mouse button 1
- Datalink Scanner = Thumb Trigger (Button 2)
- lights = L
- cargo scoop = Button 10 on stick
- hand brake = Button 12 on stick
Assigned new Fighter Controls to function keys:
- Request Fighter Dock = F1
- Defensive Behaviour = F2
- Aggressive Behaviour = F3
- Focus Target = F4
- Hold Fire = F5
- Hold Position = F6
- Follow = F7
- Open Orders = F8
The reference sheet:

² because it was so in Elite and is so in Oolite
³ if you were playing any previous Release version, the game most probably updates your Custom.binds so that this file is not needed. (Better to check your bindings in Options/Controls to be sure.)
