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

I've added the HOTAS X support to my reference sheet generator (link in my sig). You should be able to feed it your custom binds file and it will generate a reference sheet automatically.

I don't have one of these myself, though, so it's possible that I've mucked something up with either the definition of the buttons (naming something as a hat when it's a button, for example) or the mapping (putting the right info in the right box). Please give it a go and let me know how it goes.

I received error when I try generate my setup, but I do not have idea where is problem. Maybe is problem with my keyboard special characters, because I use czech layout.

Would it be possible to pm me your custom binds file so that I can take a look? Thanks.

EDIT:

Actually I think I found the problem, so give it another go and see if it works for you.

Thank you, now generates perfect ;).

But, I see some mistakes.

1. I use HAT left+up/right+up for increase/decrease sensor range
2. I use analog buttons on throtle stick for horizontal Thrusters (left and right), but description is for Next/Prev UI panel only.

Look at my scheme.



And what is generated.




Maybe will be usefull generate all used keys from keyboard too.

Thanks for giving it a go. The feedback is very useful for me to understand the nuances of this particular HOTAS.

The way that this shows in your custom binds file is that it sees the 'up' part of the movement as a modifier and the 'left' and 'right' parts as the actual control. The reference sheet generator is parsing this out correctly, in this case showing it as 'Modifier 3'. I'm not sure if there is any way I can make this more obvious whilst making it work generically, but I'll have a think.

Ah, I didn't know that the thing on the back of the throttle was analogue. FD allows analogue inputs to act as digital inputs as well (as per the next/previous UI panel) so I need to find a way of handling this. I'm wary of adding in too many more boxes so might see if I can make it a pure analogue control and map the digital movements to the same box.

Yeah I was kicking around having a sheet for the keyboard as well. The problem is that unlike the HOTAS the keyboard has so many possibilities that having a static template image is probably not going to work and instead I'd have to dynamically lay out the boxes for the configuration. It's something that I need to explore a bit more.

I think I've just made a HORRIBLE MISTAKE.

I had the T.Flight HOTSA X and I enjoyed using it VERY much. After 1 week of getting used to it I felt abit limited and started reading up on Saitek x52 sticks. Thought great something with more buttons should help me out big time.

I've been trying to get the bindings sorted for the last 4hrs on the x52 and just can't get it like I did with the ThrustMaster (using your AWESOME bindings) and I miss it. Hell I earned over 5 million creds using that stick (your bindings, no adjustments) and I'm a NON gamer. (Haven't played ANY games since the ORIGINAL playstation Days)

I think I'm going to be sending back the x52 and get my beautiful ThrustMaster back.

Forgive me for straying from the path..... :D

Yes, he said that will release new version, after release of Horizons, I'm not sure if is better manage the SRV with the HOTAS or with the xbox 360 controller, what do you think?, in game, the character are controlling the SRV with a hotas.. but... I don't know...

Update installed, but actually I have lot of work.
I try look on it tomorrow or during weekend. After first look I see lot of new binds and our Hotas have limits.

We will see.

Stay tuned

have you checked that Flight Assist (yes Flight Assist for a "car" :) is On whilst you're using Hotas and driving your SRV?
I think by default is enabled if you use the Frontier's Hotas settings, but I had to remap the controls for it and enable the Fligh Assist manually.

FYI the reference sheet generator should now handle Horizons, as well as providing a keyboard layout.

Hey Crab, awesome job man!
Im using your shceme since the 1.5 version with my xbox 360 controller.
Unfortunately, since Horizon has come out I can't play properly anymore... Do you will update for xbox 360 controller as well?

Thank you!

Crab, I doubt there will be a huge issue with getting things to work. Most of the new bindings are going to be directly related to the SRV. While they will take some work, I don't think there is much to conflict the older bindings.

Hi to All in here.
Im new one and Im posting some new bindings.
I used Crabs picture and retyped mine bindings. I found Crabs binding unusefull because his bindings left some buttons unusefull. By remixing the bindings I got some free buttons. :)
My onw bindings are here:
View attachment 87592

I hope You enjoy them.

Oh and BTW I dont use ED:H .. only ED original game. I dont have enough money for buying the expansion in this price.
Ciao.

20.12.2015 - Update for v2.01

Custom setups for T.Flight Hotas X and Xbox 360(Reference sheets)

New update with SRV controll scheme. This is first release and looks for me like good and ergonomic, but I need more time for tests.
I split printable reference card for Ship and SRV for better understanding, but I tried make control the same.
SRV steering control is doubled on stick and throttle, because this allow control your SRV during Turret mode which you can control with mouse.

Enjoy

- HOTAS and Xbox360 bindings adapted for Elite: Dangerous Horizons v2.01
- Added keybinds for SRV
- Bind setup for Keyboard and Mouse removed
- All-in-One package removed

Reference sheets preview ...
