Hey Elitists,
I've seen other topics talking about controls, but not about this specifically:
Why are the default controls opposite from those in Elite on the PC when using an Xbox or gamepad controller?
I have:
LS: forward/back = throttle, left/right = yaw
RS: forward/back = pitch, left/right = roll
This is perfect, corresponds to what you get on RC flight controllers (drones) and pretty much every flight sim I can think of.
The control scheme on the sticks in the Xbox One version make no sense to me.
Button assignments and menus are something I can get around, but not this. I won't be playing the Xbox version until I can remap the throttle to the stick.
Some other tweaks:
Afterburn on left stick click. Put the alternate control scheme on another button. maybe...
Back button == snap friends panel. That's going to burn a lot of people in combat accidentally hitting that button. Needs to be remappable. On my PC, I've set it to UI Back so I don't accidentally switch out a screen when using the B+dpad combos I have set up.
I know this is an early release and expect these things'll get fixed at some point. I bet releasing patches on the Xbox is harder than it is for the PC version where Frontier owns all the servers and distribution, but hope they can come soon.
