I've tried other peoples settings with little to no luck, and hours and hours of work. Time to do my own and you do an excellent job of making it look simple.
Everyone's setup is personal. It's best to go through all the settings you need and set them one by one where you feel most comfortable. On my VKB's, I swapped out the analog hats for the digital. They feel less sloppy.
Just got my sticks yesterday and this video is by far the best one ive come across! I tried the copying of other peoples contols but the copy paste method always has issues with joystick gremlin... Thanks for putting this together and laying down the basics!
I really hate using the console command for swapping left and right sticks. It's more time consuming, but you can force left and right. Unplug the left, get fully in the game. Test that it is working. Exit the game, plug in the left, reload the game. done. I have done this, and it holds the left and right orientation forever.
I've found that adding or removing a USB device can change the order. Changing the ports it plugs into can change them. The TM16000 seemed to be more susceptible than my VKB but that could be because the VKB device IDs are specific for each model.
I use a HOSAM setup, left hand stick controls ship throttle and strafe left/right with the hatswitch used for strafe up/down and targeting. Joystick throttle is used for gun convergence adjustment. Steering with the mouse. It's truly an abomination lol
@OldManGamer65 did you bind to abs or rel? With my STECs setup it stays where I push handle, so I chose abs. If your throttle springs back to center then you might want rel.
The throttle trim limiter locks the speed in when you set it. you can pull back on throttle (or stick) to slow down, speed resumes after release. There's several binding options. set with both a long and short press, and release or clear with a long and short press option. Replay that part of the video for a better demonstration.
Tried following this but certain things aren't working for me. Axis/strafe binds are fine, but no buttons or hat inputs register. Any ideas please? Anyone?
First: exit all games, and joystick setup software. Meaning close TARGET, Joy2Key, Joystick Gremlin, or etc. Open settings on the start menu and search for JOY. It should offer usb game controllers. Launch that and test your joysticks. Verify that each axis and button is responding correctly. If it isn't working there then it's not going to be properly detected in Star Citizen. If you see errors, or buttons not responding than you might need to reset and reconfigure your joysticks. What kind of joysticks you using?
OK. In the VKB conference utility are options to reset the stick to defaults and calibrate. VKB has excellent support. Their discord is usually fast, there are videos on their YT channel showing how to calibrate, load defaults. Etc. If you have trouble hit me up on discord. My discord info is linked on channel page. Same name in discord as YT.
I can only speak for myself here. It was a natural transition from mouse movement. Mouse left/right was yaw on defaults. Of course, that's one of the benefits of making your own keybinding profiles; setting it up as the player wishes, isn't it?
my logitech 3d pro i think just died cannot get pitch down so may ship would go upwards to work so its flying just downside for some reason in recalibration looks fine but in game wont work also i cannot set pitch up down, its not detecting it at all prob have to buy new one
If it's only recognizing one direction it certainly seems like a controller issue. Before you do though; open the joystick applet in windows settings and test all axis. Open the settings icon (looks like a cog or gear) and search for "joy" it should show "Setup USB Game Controllers". Double click your logitech 3d pro in the list and test all axis. If it's working properly there, then the sticks ok and it's likely a mapping issue. Reach out to me on discord if you want a second set of eyes on this. PaganLinuxGeek.

@@Sheppardsg1 I realize you didn't request recommendations. I will just say that I've been very happy with my VKB Space Combat Edition Premiums. The STECS is very nice as well.
I was also waiting for a vid for this, all my joystick inputs would be stuck goong in 1 direction Left or backwards. Totally unplayable, even tried other games and all was well. Super frustrating to have to play Star Citizen like a Peasant! Jk!😂
I have found KB+M to be liberating, stopped using my Virpil throttle and joystick for Star Citizen about a year ago, the flight dynamics are just to basic to warrant the effort, ''DCS/Hunternet/MSFS/XP12'' work to perfection, yet SC...kinda waste of good hardware. KB+M in SC is simple, reaction times and control precise.
@@davewills148 Yes I understand. What I do not understand is WHY, in a video that is helping people set up sticks, you feel the need to post that you don't use them.
