Elite has a huge system to tweak the controls for your device. Whatever your device is.
Still it has a huge flaw which is just ... unbelievable. I have searched forums here and on steam and they all confirm it.
If I want to play ED at my computer with mouse/keyboard setup and then at my TV with steam link and steam controller then I must be a mutant and possibly should be burned.
There is no support whatsoever for switching/saving your own control schemes. Zilch.
Problems are:
1) I can choose one of the predefined profiles - any changes to that will create a new "custom" profile which will override the previous "custom" profile. I loose the customer profile.
2) launching the game on a computer that is missing the controller will again silently override the "custom" profile and remove any controller settings.
3) manually coping and renaming the "custom" file as a new file has same problem as point 3. If I load it , automatically when starting game , and I have no controller connected - controller settings get wiped.
4) If I copy , rename the "custom" file and then lock it as not writable by elite I can make it all work ... kind of. I can make new bindings as they go into custom but ... then they are lost as custom gets overwritten any chance the game has.
The whole idea of recognising a device via USB ID and then wiping profile if the USB device is not present is just unbelievable fall of design.
Please there is so many searches and questions I see on the net - there is a group that would like to have this ability to switch between different custom profiles.
Is there any chance Frontier will do that?
