How do you guys have your controlls set up, I have my multi cannons going on one trigger and the Beam weapons on the other. What button do you use to launch chaff. I assume you are not swithing modes mid combat.... Please advise.
Xbox controllers and Chaff

Dont have them set in the Fire Group and bind a key combo to them,
That way only one will fire at a time....or is that shield cell banks...

That's correct for both.
what key group did you change it too?
thanks!!!!
As I use default context, X+LB,RB is tied to next, previous fire group...
Just assign it to what you want, if you replace an existing binding then do you use the function if not replace it if you do find somewhere else to bind it...
I don’t think there is anything that is assigned to B+LB/RB. So I think I can use that
B+LB = Chaff
Y+DPAD Left = heat Sync
Y+DPAD Right = SCB
Y+DPAD Down = Hud Mode
Y+LB = FSS
But then, I have an Elite Controller.

I have an Elite controller as well, is there a way have the bottom buttons to do something else? I thought they were just X,B,Y,A in different locations.
also, what do you do for Galx map and system map?

You can set the paddles to mimic any "standard" button. So the ABXY, bumpers, triggers, D-pad and stick clicks.
But they can only mimic these buttons. On Xbox One there is no way to make the paddles act as independent buttons.
A+RT - chaff
A+LT - scb
X+LT - heat sink
I actually only recently found out you an use the triggers as part of a contextual binding ... opens up whole new worlds ... kinda .. but hey and extra few binds are always helpful.
Hmm I wonder if we can do RB+RT, or RB+LB, RB+UP, etc...
Will be trying that tonight, unless someone here already knows the answer.

You can only map the paddles to existing buttons, any button not just X B Y A but remember, you have 2 buttons your probably not using. The Stick Click buttons. Go into settings under devices (I think) and there is a configuration to change all the mappings on your Elite Controller and even adjust stick sensitivity.
On my Elite Controller I have the paddles set as follows
(L= left, R=right, F=front, B=back)
LF=Left Bumper
LB = Left stick click
RF=Right Bumper
RB = Right stick click
Now in ED:
LF=Throttle down
RF = Throttle up
LB = Thrust Left
RB = Thrust Right
LF+RF = 100% Throttle
LB+RB = 0% Throttle
LF+LB = 50% Throttle
RF+RB = 100% Reverse throttle
LF+RB = Reverse thrust
RF+LB = Forward thrust
You can also have 2 configuration set in the controller switched by the slider switch. I really don't see this as useful in ED though.
Also there are things mapped in the default settings that you don't need mapped to your controller. Like Gal Map, System Map, Silent Running etc. These are accessible from the panels and you really don't need them at a quick access. So I un-map them and use those mappings for something else.
Every time I have tried to use anything other that XYAB + Bumpers & DPAD what ever the XYAB button was mapped to alone will also fire along with what ever you mapped the combinations to. The controls interface lets you so this without complaint but it does not work.
I have B mapped as boost and I have tried to map B+Left Stick Click and boost will always fire. If you look at the Context help when you hold down one of the XYAB buttons it will only show the bumpers and the DPAD.
Not sure if this is an FD thing or an XBOX thing, Adding the triggers to the Context system would be great!
Sorry Dup Post

Oh, I know for a fact we can use the triggers in the bindings, I have them set already and have been using them ... added NV toggle, FSS, and a couple other things. No issues with firing the main bind. It was more of a question of whether RB (or similar) as the main button and then another context.
I will test and report back. ... I do know that it will let you bind some options to the same button combo ... my lights would toggle each time I tried to go into FSS at first because I never used to use my lights and forgot that combo was already bound. Lol.
Yeah, I can see the trigger working if you don't have something mapped in a fire group that works in SC also.
I wish we could re map the "view button to the left of the Xbox button. I think it can only be mapped to bring up the social menu but that is useless as it is easily accessible from the pause menu
