This video guides you through setting up a single joystick, dual joysticks (HOSAS) or, stick and throttle (HOTAS), rudder pedals, etc in Star Citizen 3.20 and newer.
3.20 split some controls into both relative and absolute modes, added some options.
We'll step through this verbally and graphically.
We'll explain the difference between REL and ABS keybinds and when you should use it.
A fix is demonstrated for reversed stick keybinds, and back them up for safekeeping.
The command used to reverse the left/right sticks is pp_resortdevices joysticks 1 2
Use of the speed limiter toggle, landing gear throw levers, and throttle setupnare demonstrated in the advanced setup.
The joysticks pictured here are VKB Space Combat Edition Premium NXT EVO, but process works on others as well.

Request landing, map toggle, etc I bind to the bases. Download the linked keybind files and review the diagrams for inspiration.

Really love that you took the time to do this. Been playing sims (and star citizen) for years, with quite a few diffrent setups but mainly used Thrustjunker T16000M HOTAS for years now. ABout 4 sets of them in 10 eyars because they're such garbage. When the inevitable potentiometer went bad the most recent time I manually upgraded it to a hall sensor. But it also needs redone every couple months so long story short I just ordered VKB's and was dreading having to go through the word soup that is Star Citizen's keybinds. Your bit on absolute and stuff extremely helped. SO thanks. Also, what kind of freak yaws with left to right XD. I'm kidding, I know some people do that. I can't. It doesn't make sense in my brain. Z-roation is like a steering wheel which turns left and right. IDK. lol.

I did end up getting the VKB NXT combo with Omni throttle. I also got the STECS and add-on panel (MAX I think) and couldn't be happier. I'm getting used to the HOSAS but still use the throttle for acceleration and cruise control. The resolution and feel of these things is amazing. I have the clutches set just to the point where they almost don't center and feel amazing. Weakest springs in right stick, stock springs in the OT. I did similar mappings to yours, except I want roll on my X axis and yaw on my Z twist. (right hand) Left hand is translate with twist being up/down. Really wonderful entry into high-end sticks. Just having an issue with the Quantum drive engagement, where I can activate the drive but not engage because of the mandatory (hold) function that can't be changed. None of the buttons on the STECS will hold long enough to engage. I'm sure I need to play around with the software but otherwise super happy with it.

@PaganLinuxGeek 4 ай бұрын

I haven't dug deep onbth3 stecs button setup yet but it might be set as a momentary (fast signal then none) which would make engaging quantum a bit tricky as you press and hold. I use one of the buttons on the base of Mt left stick now and it works OK. That profile attached to the video (linked in description) has it bound to left stick hat left.

The amount of people that use yaw on the X axis rather than on the twist on right stick or rudder pedals is mind blowing to me. I would suggest getting the omni throttle adapter for left stick if you are using VKB gladiators. Makes the twist for up and down more intuitive at least in my mind.

@EliasWindrider 5 ай бұрын

Today is my first day playing star citizen (well arena commander racing) and I used this video to set up my gladiator evo next premium stick (right hand) and omni throttle (left hand), I initially set up my right hand stick to roll on x and yaw on twist. I quickly changed it back to the default, yaw on x and roll on twist (but i inverted the twist direction) because Rolling and pitching did not fly like I was expecting (at least not near the ground), it did set the pinky button to swap roll and yaw (as that might work better in space). Maybe if I could decrease the sensitivity of the x axis for roll it might fly more like I was thinking. Btw I swap out the #20 springs in the right stick for #10 springs.... I think #15 springs might be about right for me, may have to order those.

@javadan 8 ай бұрын

The only thing I may add is to speak about Joystick Gremlin which can turn a number of controls (e.g. joystick, throttle, pedals, gamepad) into a single, virtual joystick so that SC only sees one device. That eliminates a lot of the confusion about control numbers. It is a godsend for me.

One thing that makes it easier is to find out which one is which and write it down. pedals=(input 3), throttle =(input 1) for example.

I try to keep the controls I use frequently,.or used in the midst of combat on the hats to minimize.hand travel. Infrequent binds, I typically place on the joystick bases, or on the button box portion of the throttle. Landing gear, VTOL, wing configuration, atc,.door and ports are prime candidates. That's my way, but each has to map according to what works best for them.

There is a throttle forward axis binding option. If you do that then I'd urge you to bind a key for toggling forward reverse a couple lines underneath it if memory serves. Doing this means throttle all the way back is 0, and full forward is 100%. Pressing button means ship moves backwards.

I noticed something about the Cruise Control : before you could enable/disable it anytime, but now your left joystick (the one that controls the forward/backward strafing etc) has to be centered if you want the button to be clickable. If you're strafing forward the button won't work. It's not a big deal, but it's not very practical to have to stop to change modes (I do it very often 😅).

I played around with this more. If I leave the left stick (throttle forward/backward) untouched and at Centerpoint, I can enable cruise control and it locks to the speed limiter. I control speed limiter on throttle box. Moving the left stick disengaes cruise control. I thought it a bug until reading the post in spectrum I linked in a text post here. Seems the cruise control is going away at some point. They intend to utilize trim instead. I posted a video about setting and using it today. I apologize for the delay in response. I prefer to have a good understanding before commenting or informing, and some family medical issues as of late took my attentions. After using the throttle trim a bit I'm digging it. Will take some repeated use before it becomes.habit.

Hey just a question but I am using a hotas setup with the gladiator nxt evo and a thrustmaster twcs throttle, how do I configure the throttle so that its only responsible for forward movement by moving back and forth but to reverse I have to press a separate button entirely, right now to go backward I have to move the throttle to 0 and to got forward move to 100 and to stay still I have to have it in an impossible middle position? is there any way I can fix this, thank you!

@PaganLinuxGeek 6 ай бұрын

Yes actually! In the flight movement section bind the throttle to forward (abs). And a button the reverse. Then you press that button to allow reverse.

If you have the extension that gets added to the joy stick, you know that adds dials and switches does that become part of the stick it is attached to?

@PaganLinuxGeek 4 ай бұрын

Yes. It changes the "name" it reports in the device configuration utility too. A friend of mine @moonraker113 has the sem installed and reports that it appears are 1 device when using the link cable plugged into each device JST connector. If you connect with a usb cable it's a separate device.

great video. is there any way to set it so when you make a new binding, it deletes the old one? i copied your missile operator mode to the hat on my right joystick, which was by default set to strafe. but now it just has both, so when i activate, add or remove missile, or change missile type i also strafe in each direction. dont think its a big deal its only a quick press

@PaganLinuxGeek 2 ай бұрын

Sadly no, it warns you that it's also used for ____ but doesn't offer option to remove previous mapped binding. If you have trouble locating the other bindings and dont mind starting over, you can reset to defaults. I show this in the start of video. Also If you are running VKB Space Combat Edition premiums you can toggle between ministick and hat mode by pressing IN on the hat/ministick. The LED will show RED in alt mode. That allows you to map analogue strafing to the ministick and other actions to the hat mode. :-)

your settings worked great for 3.22, can you do an update for 3.23 ??

@PaganLinuxGeek Ай бұрын

Already wrote the script.:-) had been planning to record the video over last weekend but had to do something around the house. I'm reviewing the PTU as there's more keybind changes there as well. Im glad I could help with 3.22!

@kevenwang7842 Ай бұрын

Hey Ive noticed that the current PU LIVE patch 3.22.1 detects my L-stick as it’s first joystick and any keybind from that stick can be bound as a double tap by pressing ‘Y’. However every other controller like the R-stick or other button panels wont allow for double tap and when their keys are bound. Those include all key binds labeled as “button ‘#’ (input #)”. Please share if you have a solution to this. I Have a full VKB setup with dual Gladiator NXT EVO’s and T-rudder Mk. V with SEM THQ and FSM modules. Great video as well! The control swap console command helped so much 👍

@PaganLinuxGeek Ай бұрын

Do you have joystick gremlin or other joystick control software running?

@kevenwang7842 Ай бұрын

Nope, I just calibrated all of the sticks and modules and close the vkb software. I have been thinking about using joystick gremlin though

@PaganLinuxGeek Ай бұрын

I would only use it if absolutely needed. Less stuff running on the system, and managing joysticks is better IMHO. Have a friend that has to use it for pedals as SC doesn't allow mapping them as needed. Trust me he'd love the option of dumping it. I want to make sure I'm understanding you correctly: the PTU is allowing ONLY your left stick to have 2 functions for every button if you hold the Y key down?

So i'm trying to add my virpil alpha primes on mongoose stick bases.. they're not listed on the list of joystick/hotas...... I can't double click to edit the bindings at all..... help??? brand new sticks, and i've never used sticks b4

@PaganLinuxGeek 4 ай бұрын

Launch windows settings (looks like a gear or cog) and search for joystick. It should show the game controller application. Run that. It will list the controllers windows sees. If the virprils dp not show in the list you'll need to verify they are connected properly, calibrated, and any needed utilities are running. If not you need to contact virpril support or a buddy running them. I wish I could help but do not have any personal experience with virpril products to draw upon. Now that we have that out of the way: you setup joysticks with a hierarchical tree in Star Citizen. Follow along with the video at its start. Particularly in the lower right and lower left corners. As this gets you into the joystick bindings and out of the keyboard mouse bindings section.

I'm stuck and need help. I flew with a Cheap T.Flight Hotas for years and could hit anything perfectly. I got an X56 Hotas and my fine motion for hitting a pip is wrecked. I've spent countless hours adjusting curves and I just can't seem to get it right. Standard sensitivity is too harsh on small movements. A curve works great for most things but when I'm in a PVP fight I find I can't track the pip because of the variation in the curve causing me to constantly over correct. I almost want to say I need a linear curve that's just slower, I'm guessing that would be saturation, but wouldn't this limit my turn rate as an E.G. ? I'm open to any solution as this is driving me mad.

@PaganLinuxGeek 4 ай бұрын

ESP might be the solution. TLDR: it adjusts (slows) joystick input as your reticle gets closer to the target. You can adjust the width of the adjustment circle and the amount of adjustment to input making it easier to get finer movements. Please note that I've not (yet) done a deep dive on it so will have to summarize and refer you to Moist Noodle's recent video explaining it. He did an excellent job explaining and demonstrating it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/obGGatqlzMm7qnk.htmlsi=xUQFwWQxSVYaSa7D Having said that; I'd love to hear what adjustments you made :-)

Does it work when using vkb configuration? If not then hit the vkb discord. They are awesome in there. If configuration utilities show movement then it's not bound in SC. Follow the video again from the start. Use (abs) binds when opted.

Short press to toggle mode, and long press to engage jump. The inversion name escapes me at the moment but I recall it was I'm controls - flight movement - forward /backward

@PaganLinuxGeek 8 ай бұрын

You can flip them in settings controls then use lower right arrow to switch to the appropriate input device. In flight movement section are the axis to reverse. If you look at keybinds and in the axis that pedals control for the input number (input2, input3, etc). 9f the pedals are input3 then arrow over to joy3 in lower right corner to set reverse in controls. Review the video to the part I correct the forward backward for an example. Reach out on discord if you need some help.

I seem to recall a post on reddit that they were having a black Friday sale. So if you're ready to buy, I'd check their site. To be clear I'm not pushing you to buy VKB. I'm not sponsored (though I wish I had a discount code to share), or paid to advertise for them. Merely a satisfied customer for a couple years.
