Console players are perfectly capable of advanced maneuvering, our aim with lasers might just be a little twitchy lol. There’s a few PC guys out there with gamepads, so don’t let that get you down.
It’s always weird trying to remember my stick controls offhand, because I rarely think about it. It’s just muscle memory anymore lol.
I know for sure that I have pitch/roll on the same (left?)stick, airplane style. It just feels natural to me. The other (right?) stick is yaw/vertical thrust.
My throttle controls are completely default, still on the bumpers.
I know its common for some PvP guys to switch throttle to the triggers, but I can think of a few guys who are much better pilots than I am that use the default as well.
As mentioned before, laterals are stick clicks, which are bound to the paddles. Not necessary, but it makes it more comfortable.
I’ve heard some people say their sticks are set up ‘FPS style’, says it helps them aim. They’re good pilots, but I’m not brave enough to change to something so radically different from what is now second nature lol.
There are some weirder controller mappings out there, but I won’t cover those, because I don’t use them.
Next time I sign on, I might get a video for you against an NPC target.
Oh, and if you ever wanna ask some of the Xbox PvP guys direct about those unorthodox controls, a good number of them can be found in my discord server. Link below if you wanted it. They could explain much easier than I could.
