Newcomer / Intro Roll and Yaw issues on xbox controller

[P3nT4gR4m]

Since my VR setup did a factory reset on my piggy bank I don't have the cash for a hotas anytime soon and I'm stuck with the xbox gamepad that came with the Rift. As far as I can figure out the only way to yaw is to move the left stick, one half unit on the planck scale, to the left or right. If you move it a whole planck unit or more, it rolls as well which is infuriating. Is there some way to set up an alternative, without resorting to the keyboard? Bear in mind I'm in VR and have no idea where my keyboard is half the time. So I use Voice Attack. Maybe there's a toggle I could set up to switch the left stick between roll and yaw or, as a next best solution, a VA macro like "yaw 10 degrees left" or something?

The only time I really need yaw is lining up with landing pads and I currently use DC so it's not a big issue but it'd be nice if I could get it sorted.

If its like the xbox, you can have Yaw into Roll (like you and I have), or can have an alternate config, invoked by clicking the right stick. I couldn't tell how to set that up though - I quite like the yaw into roll, now I'm used to it.

go into controls, and disable yaw into roll.

or customize the whole set up (i did on my pc xbox controller i use when travelling or exploring).

you can also set "landing overrides", to map yaw or horizontal thrusters differently when landing
