Community Event / Creation Printable Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS reference sheet

Once I'd played around with the bindings to my satisfaction, I put together this reference chart.

T-Flight%20HOTAS%20Elite%204.png


A full size .pdf can be downloaded from my website, here. Just print it out at A4 size.

Also available is a blank version for scribbling on and editable pixelmator and photoshop files so that you can create your own version.

Be aware that the photoshop file was exported from pixelmator so it might exhibit some foibles if used in the real thing.

*** Update 31/05/14: Now revised to include bindings useful in premium beta 1.0 and current logo.

*** Update 08/08/14: Now revised to suit standard beta 1.0; specifically hyperspace and supercruise are now rolled into "Frame Shift"; Added "Flight Assist Off" and improved combat bindings in place of rarely used buttons.

I replied in the original thread, but worth saying again here, this is so awesome thanks for putting this together. Even more so because the editable ones allow others to add their profiles as suggestions to.

Just out of interest when you hold button 8, do you use the thumb stick (or is it called the hat stick??) to look around or move the actual joystick? Does this require some special key binding in the options menu as well?

Thanks again

Ok for Alpha...ish ..I use similar setup plus a Xbox controller, but will require a more concise setup going forward with ECM and shield distribution etc. also dependant on ship and trade config.
Also I don't see a button for FA off/on so not really suitably for real combat more a casual traders config.

Apologies for the late reply.

Regarding headlook, I have it set to holding button 8 and using the main stick for now. I'll be moving this functionality to the DIY EDtracker, still coupled to button 8, once I've built it and we go to beta. (I'm a premium beta backer, so I can't connect two devices yet.)

*EDIT 03/06/2014* It took a while to get the EDtracker drift correction working acceptably. The latest software seems eminently usable now. In the absence of a head-tracking device, I recommend binding headlook to the hat switch and not using it while landing!

And yes, you'll need to set your headlook axes in the controller options.

With five axes and twelve buttons, there will always be some functions that can't be included and will require the keyboard. These are just my current choices and they're only intended as a suggestion. Personally, I don't see a need to choose any of the functions you've mentioned over the ones that I've bound. That may change during the beta, of course. It's all a matter of taste and that's why there's a blank sheet and editable versions available.
 
Excellent job there.

I'll be using that very soon. :cool:
 
Sweet, thanks! I was using the default T.Flight X setup but it involved a lot of hopping between the keyboard and the HOTAS. I'll set up my bindings like you've shown in the first post, that should hopefully make life a bit easier for me until I can afford one of the HOTAS setups that has more buttons and axes :D
 
I just ordered one of these to tide me over until X52 Pro's are back in stock.

This is very useful as I am a total noob. Just bought Elite a few minutes ago!
 
Landing over rides

Hi there without the T Flight I'd really struggle dont know how the guys still using all keyboards/mouse manage ED?

Has anyone tried setting the landing over rides? I tried to set the Throttle Lateral Thursters to do the vertical up/down. To avoid having to faff around with buttons R and F.
It worked when I took off but when I got to next station it had somehow switched vertical to the joystick yaw Axis? You can imagine the fun I had landing then!
 
Oh just spotted this. I picked one of these up at the weekend and was putting off setting it up. Fantastic guide technome. Saved me a chunk of time! +rep
 
I've been in the beta for about an hour and I found your post. You are my first love in this game. ahhhhhhh
 
Thanks for posting these bindings Technome. My Hotas X arrived today & I've just done the toxic waste scenario plus a quick trade run. The bindings have been so easy to get used to & the controller has really opened up the game play compared to M/K.

The only things i've added are cycle previous/next sub components with [ & ].

Yeah works a treat, nice one ;)
