Been switching a lot of buttons to long presses, the F buttons above the throttle are a bit quick to press and I would hit them when I fumbled around with the center throttle axis... Nothing like hitting the system map button when trying to reduce the throttle when docking!
I have the ships/SRV lights on a short press and the night vision on the same button, but a long press, I really like this double funtion when it makes sense like that. I will be setting chaff and heat sinks to a long press as well, just to keep from accidentally firing them off.
I have been flying the Krait Phantom lately as my main mission runner, my Challenger was nearby and setup (poorly) for the goids and I switched to it. I found it to be really touchy with the supercuise settings, if you get to five seconds for more than a second or so, you'll nube loop everytime, where as the Phantom is more forgiving when slowing in supercruise. I usually us voice attack to set my throttle speeds, but in an effort to learn the new keybinds, I haven't been using it. I've been rather enjoying manually setting the throttle instead of setting the percent, it's more immersive.
I use the throttle axis for setting cruise control in a dog fight and setting the supercruise speeds, the Y axis of the omni for setting thrust. It works quite well for me as long as I don't forget to reduce the throttle to zero when landing. My landings are slowly getting better. Adding the double rate function on the X, Y and RX axis has helped a lot. My biggest issues are not paying attention to the gear or some other issue. Getting the landing down and setting new processes and taking advantage of the possibilities has been a learning process.
I really wish that the landing request was a button press after targeting the station. Either that or the have the request come up infront of you rather than looking away from where you are heading.
