New Keybindings

[spankthemunkey1]

Hi ladies and gents,
I am getting back into elite after a few months off, I play in VR and on screen sometimes and was wondering especially in VR, what are good keybinds for the new scanner and other new bits to the game since the update ?.
I am totally lost now, just so many binds i dont know where to start ( just for the new keybinds required ), I am also using voice attack . Obviously all keybinds need to be on my X55 hotas for in VR.

If anyone could give me some pointers in this i would be grateful, thanks

The good news: you only need to set one new key and set up fire groups, otherwise it's just binding a few keys for the analysis mode that don't conflict with anything else.

The bad news: you need to bind a key to switch between analysis and combat mode, so you can disable your weapons for some reason. This mode switch key is the main big change you'll have to get used to.

cheers for the reply, i tried last night to set up the binds, set the mode switch that was fine but when trying to set other binds it just kept on coming up with ( the keys are used for other functions basically, are you sure you want to overwrite ), i just got so frustrated last night because i could not find a way to get out of VR and just use my comp screen ( that's now sorted ).
So does it matter if i just carry on and overwrite these keys or am i going to screw things up ?.

Um, be careful, you don't want to overwrite the existing bindings. I don't recall having that problem, but I'm not at home so I can't look at the settings right now. Which ones are you getting that message on?

Backup your bindings first, then you can try. As far as I know, the FSS bindings can be anything even a conflict, as they are in a different screen and it won't make any difference. The FSS bindings can't possibly be keys or buttons you've not used elsewhere, they need to be reused.

But back up your bindings directory first!
