SRV controls for a joystick user

I play ED with a joystick.
Upgraded to Horizon.
When I did, it changed my bindings, but I was ready for it.
Had old bindings saved:)
Restored old bindings and normal ED works ok.
However having to set bindings for SRV sucks.
I just set them and got SRV stationary........went afk a while....skins are spanking cowboys:p
Came back SRV is speeding around Planet surface, without my permission!!!!
Anyone got any SRV bindings?

I am pretty satisfied with controlling the SRV with my HOTAS....

I use roll axis for turning, yaw and pitch for turret control and Throttle for throttle... Boost is the same as boost for the ship. Roll and pitch are used for rolling and pitching the SRV when off the ground.
Cargo Scoop, lights and menus are controlled like in the ship.

Works like a charm for me, including driving the SRV when in turret mode.

How do you exit turret mode? And I didn't know you could boost in an SRV!

I have an X52 and I use it with some keyboard options too.

I figured I would try to set up the SRV like I would drive in GTA, i.e. WASD/QE/Mouselook, MB1 for firing, and a couple of other keys (Scan/Activate Turret/Handbrake). I didn't get round to the vertical thruster settings or roll yet.

I also set "1" as targeting for the SRV, not thinking this would affect my ship controls in which 1 opens my Nav panel, and then I use WASDQE to navigate it.

So now, even though I have tried to rejig it, I cannot do anything in the Nav Panel in my ship... I look at it with mouselook (coz 1 no longer opens it), it opens, but my normal QEWASD keys don't do anything and nor do my X52 hats. I had to log off just metres from a Coriolis as I couldn't ask for docking permission!

Anyhoo, any advice or guidance would be appreciated.

make sure that's the only thing those keys are bound to.

I had another fiddle, and I think I have got it sorted for the basic controls now. GTA V-style KB/M for the SRV, ship controls mostly sorted (one or two weird things still remain like mouse-headlook on ship, but it's all good.

Now need to think about the v thrust and rolling keybinds. :rolleyes:

Cheers all.

When you realise it is the first Monday of 2016 and have to go to work for a FULL year !! Life sucks!

I use joystick to control SRV it works well but it took some time and a lot of adjustment to get it right. When i am in turret mode i use mouse to use turret and keyboard to drive (just like in war thunder).
