The NOOBIFIER - My HOTAS Keybinding Star Citizen joystick 

I've been wanting to play a space sim like this for awhile. Just got it installed and about to setup my new HOTAS. All the controls are a bit overwhelming. But the voice command is genius!!! Thank you so much for sharing and helping noobies like me. Merry Christmas! (Liked & Subscribed)

There was a lot of good info in this video. I specifically like the hint for complaining pilots to get their act together and go practice. I felt that statement was meant for me even though you were actually directing it to me (I was one of those complainers). I decided to go practice and discovered my flying nitch...I found using the mouse for targeting and my HotasX throttle control for mobility, had the perfect match. I don't have to worrying about finding or feeling for keys on the keyboard and still have the precision in targeting. Works like a dream. By the way, the HotasX has all 5 buttons plus a strafing bar right under you hand...no need to break contact. I didn't even mention Voice Attack. Once again, Kudos to TheNOOBIFIER1337

This must be the best controlls / bindings explanation video on the internet. Great, thank you!

One of the big recent changes I made to my HOTAS setup is binding the fire buttons to the throttle instead of to the joystick. I use a CH system, and there are buttons for three fingers on the back side of it, two of them are used for fire group 1 and and fire group 2. The third one is currently boost/afterburner, although I may change that if I decide that three fire groups are a good idea. Basically, the reason for binding this way (and it DOES take some getting used to) is that even minor motions in the joystick hand can throw off one's aim. By separating concerns I don't have to worry quite so much about that.

I really enjoy your structured content and delivery. One of my pet peeves is when youtubers use filler words "uh" and "um" every other word because they don't stick to what content/point they're trying to convey. You are awesome and have earned another subscriber.

Any chance on a visual map of each function? Trying to learn as you fly from a video is difficult.

really nice binding, with other fly sticks like F.L.Y 1 citizens have to rely in other ways to straife and dinamic ship adjustment.

man, switching yaw/roll made it for me :-) ty

I don't have my HOTAS yet, but your video is great in giving ideas what's possible. I hope the "high end" variant of the SC HOTAS will be solid, since I plan getting this. *fanboi*

I would imagine that's an Omega Speed master on the wrist. Respect.

Obscure bind? I think i have been using that as my primary targeting method since wing commander. Aside from fire, that is my first rebind every shooter. I know, others may not be aware of it. I never needed 'next target' before, but with this game's sophistication i may just unload targeting commands to voice attack. Btw thankyou for these videos. Been onboard SC since 2011 but just ran across your stuff recently. Very professional.

I'm with you on the pitch and roll. There seem to be way more people going pitch and yaw for this game and I understand why. But I grew up playing combat flight sims in the early 90's and I can't seem to break that feeling. But I'm a dual stick user in SC and I have yaw bound to the x-axis on my second stick (Y being forward/backward strafe, twist being lateral strafe). Seems backwards to what most suggest but it feels right to me. I really need to make a diagram or video of my setup... every so often someone wants it explained. Also, I see a tablet to the left of your monitor. Are you using Roccat Power Grid or something similar in SC right now?

Voice Attack is something I will definitely start messing with already with other games, nice tip! Haven't been using a flight stick for decades, so I'm curious what the official peripherals will look like, but he low profile base plate of the Warthog looks really practical when it comes to desk placement. Good to hear that it's already an excellent option.

That voice thing is sick

Thanks for the large grin spelling Reticle as Rectile in your video it made me LOL

Cheers for the vid gave me some ideas, I only have Warthog stick need to get throttle soon.

Thanks. Ive be resisting setting key bindings because 3.01 seem very fluid and quickly changing . i want to avoud menorizing multiple different set ups

thats a really cool setup ive been thinking about investing in a HOTAS setup but ill probably wait till more of the game is released. i have been using the roccat powergrid app on my iphone though which has been great for shield and power control its also really great for immersion!

I like that you admit that your way of flying with roll assigned to the stick is maybe not superior. I'm hardcoded to from DCS, so I'm sure I'll be the same. Thanks for the no bullshit tut while I wait for my 35 gb download.

Thank you for your video Noobifier. 2:26 in and you've already saved me. You see, I've been incredibly hyped for Star citizen, and for the most part they've fulfilled it to the letter with each passing month and in the foreseeable future. My real issue however is the way that the space combat turned out for me. I have a X52 Pro HOTAS and Track IR 5, but i've never really become fully accustomed to their benefits despite me thinking it was going to be the case. I largely blame the fact that Star Citizen makes it incredibly hard to understand the keybinding process, or should I say, the games' functions. I get no support in keybinding my HOTAS unlike in Elite:Dangerous. In ED I simply pick the pre-made keybind for X52 and VOILA, it turns out to be completely legit and well thought out. Meanwhile I have to try to find my way neck-deep in the shit-storm of functions this game has AND try to learn where they fit best on my joystick? Please. I kind of went off topic for what I initially wanted to say, but that is actually the reason why my hype died for the game relatively early. I suck so hard at this game and the skill-gap between mouse and joystick users is ridiculously unhelpful to my endeavors. What you really saved me from is the second issue. I HATE how non-atmospheric controls are default in this game. I don't want to switch, and it only makes me even SALTIER knowing that in-atmosphere flight will be treated the exact same way as space flight (this is merely an assumption since that's how that one race map flies). It's so infuriating for me and it does not help that I have to get used to that garbage yaw-mode when I can't even get my head around keybinding the bloody game itself onto my HOTAS. UGH. I'm so glad someone who's well establish has managed to find peace in the game with the regular setup. Instant subscribe in hopes of learning more from you.

What a f*ckin life saver. Thank you from a literal less than 1 hr noob

Oh man! I've been drooling over the Warthog for a while now. But as I already own the Saitek X52, I've decided to save my money for the Star Citizen custom HOTAS, if they ever drop =p

This video was very helpful! It's going to my favorites so I have a reference when I pick up HOTAS (payday Friday hurry up!)

Looks very fun to use! I'm thinking on buying a HOTAS myself and am mostly considering the SC one. Do you have an opinion on that one as a HOTAS user? Do you think the current plans for it are looking good?

Nice video. How did you bind your throttle (left and right?)

Good morning and thank you for making this vid. I might have missed this in your vid so i''ll ask anyway. What software are you using to create your joy stick key binding (it within the game or is it TARGET)? I'm currently use a Thrustmaster Cougar HOTAS with all of my fight sim (i.e. FSX and P3D) and over the years I've found it rather difficult to create key binding using the Cougar software. I've attempting trying program with the TARGET software but it was even worse Cougar software.

your setup is damn good but how do you maneuver while independently targeting gimbal mounts? I use a flight stick in my left hand and a mouse in my right

Hey, great video as always. I really like your no BS approach. One question: I heard that TrackIR support is broken right now on the 2.0 live server. DO you know if that's true? Because I wanted to try it out, but no point to do so if it's not working atm. Thanks Greetings

Just found this vid, N00b. Thanks for it. Do you find that your pedal-yaw holds you back in dogfighting at all? I currently have a twist stick and am thinking about going Warthog/pedals. I'm having a hard time deciding whether ditching the twist stick is the way to go...but the Warthog seems so sweeet. Any advice?

Hello, I watched your video and found it very helpful. I have a quick equipment question -- would you recommend the Saitek Pro or the Saitek Pro Combat pedals? I also play Elite Dangerous and want to get into games like Arma 3. Thanks.

Good stuff there boss, I want to get those items soon, but need to work on my computer a little first. I took another look into track IR that thing is sweet.

have you figured out a way to bind teamspeak push to talk to a keyboard and the warthog hotas? nice vid... our button layout is so different

jesus, i like what stuff you use and i didn't even know voice attack

Impeccable display Good sir

after watching the recent canyon flight clip going around Facebook i realised using the space setup could be tricky and almost un natural feeling in atmospheric flight. I play flight sims and use conventional controls for them but swap the yaw and roll for starcitizen. do the ships turn any quicker using roll and pitch as opposed to just using yaw?

Btw, do you need a very wide screen to use TrackIR? Because I only have a 16:9/1920x1080 screen and don't know wether I should get it or not.

i wish my star citizen was setup like yours man that is serious just got my first hotas x today and it is ok just gotta learn it but man the warthog dont play around from what have read where you get yers

The Link is gone, really wanted to use your bindings :(

Hey Noobifier, great vids. Could you post your old bindings for gamepad in a vid? I travel for work and can only bring an xbox elite controller. Thanks for any input and love the no bullshit format.

awesome vid! that setup :O so interesting to see how you use the HOTAS, maybe i buy it some day - because of you! :D

Nice PC case!

With HOTAS. Do you find yourself stalling or coming to a stop while dogfighting ?

I found this tooooo late, profile is longer available

Is TrackIR working again? I thought it was broken with the latest build..

Do you still have your warthog profile? i am trying to setup the warthog pro for SC.

Any suggestions for 3.17.2 now?

For the pedals, do you have Yaw set to pushing them in, or sliding them?

How do you get your Track IR to work? (i have v.5) and it just won't take it(?!).

How are you getting the TrackIR working in SC?

Make And Model Of Your Stick/Throttle/Pedal Setup?

Can you link your Voice Attack profile?

wow you have a nice setup I'm so jealous :(

Lost me after all those thruster assignments,trying to map my CH hotas.

Seems like I will need to come back to this video, when I am finally able to afford a HOTAS. Meanwhile I use Power Grid to improve my means of control somewhat. Check it out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-70y0O4qvqTY.html

WEEOO

Bro you need to switch, It's worth the 3-4 hours to relearn, especially for SC.

"Man, I'm so successful, I can't respond to every comment on my RU-vid channel." - first world problems jk, grats on your success

My x55 setup is not worthy :P
