Great vid Hectate - something I come back to often. Any chance of an update since master modes?

There isn't a ton of great info about this setup and I'm in the same boat where its pretty expensive to grab 2 sticks but I want one quality stick to build off of and I play a lot of FPS so mouse is natural to me. Thank you for this guide !

This video is amazing, and may have just saved me a serious amount of money. Thank you!

i want something stiffer or more like 747 controls but for the big ships im a capital ship person so i want to feel like im flying the 165meters corvette not a fighter, check out noobifer videos he has a lot of stick control stuff and stuff from virpil

I wish I had seen this a while ago. I bought a HOTAS and just don’t get on with it in SC and the stick is right handed.

Really appreciate your well-thought-out approach and clear explanation. I just got the same type of stick for my throttle and am planning to configure things as you describe for a nice starting, off point. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom!

Year late to this but ended up going the same route for almost the same reasons and its funny how similar our inputs ended up. Glad im not the only omi mouse user

My VKB omni throttle came today so Im just testing it out in a private arena commander race. Your movement bindings make a lot of sense going from M/KB to Stick and mouse for ship flying. It feels natural like it was intended to be controlled this way. Thanks for the video :) The only thing I find myself getting use to with the movement is the analogue input.

Just bought a gladiator, and been thinking about how to set it up. Great video, thanks.

Do you just put the left stick on your desk? It seems like it would feel strange to have your hands at different levels, which would be the case if your stick is just sitting on your desk.

Ordering a omni throttle today and enjoyed your discussion on button layout it made me think about key binding for Elite thanks

goated

I don't its so much a single stick budget but more accuracy ALOT more accuracy with a mouse aiming. THx for video.

This is by far one of the most thorough tutorials I have seen. The content is amazing and complete. Thank you for taking the time to share your setup and thoughts. Very well done.

how did you get rid of the line that tracks from the center of your ui when flying with the mouse. I tlooks so much cleaner and cant find the setting anywhere! also, this is an insanely well done and informative vid

Great Video. Thanks for the effort !

Awesome video brother! Really like your setup with strafe mapped to the hat, killer idea!

Thanks this was informative; well done.

Thank you very much for this video. Not having the stick in my dominant hand just didn't occur to me. Perfect for my use with star citizen. Just quick swap to wasd and IAM FPS ready. It's also fantastic for racing. Only trouble I had was to find left hand friendly stick, I got Airbus thrust master that works for both hands and it's cheap for PC. It has hall effect sensor and material feels good so I can recommend it for someone out of price range of the gladiator.

I want to go dual stick, but can only afford one at a time. And was thinking get throttle first. After seeing this, now I'm going to get throttle first

I use this setup with a CH Pro Throttle, CH Pro Pedals and Logitech G502. Rudder pedals control roll. I am still experimenting with the pedals break inputs to see what works best.

This was really useful. I had an idea about the twist axis on your stick: Could you use that forward/backward twist to rebalance shields from front to back? What about setting it to add/reduce engine power on the triangle?

Just ordered the same stick and I'm excited to follow your guide to get things setup quickly once it arrives! Do you find that the stick needed to be modified or mounted to your desk or is its heaftiness good enough to not shift around while in use?

i use TRP rudder peddals, a Wooting One keyboard and mouse. i can't use stick it feels ... wrong.

g602 is a legend.. and 604 is a best successor! anticipating next evolution of that series 604 will give you extra 2 buttons on scroll wheel - side movement! its a game changer

You wouldn't happen to have the XML file for this setup? I am having a hard time figuring out how to program it all in, besides the mouse controls

I love tanks in SC!

I’ve been out of Star Citizen for a long time. I am one of the so called veteran who supported a star Citizen with buying a large armada of ships. However frustrated with the huge delays and at one point just unplayable I bowed out for the last 4 years more or less. They have made some progress to get me back into it. Amazing but from my perspective little progress but clearly enough to overcome some of the blockers of the past. Your video is an instructional nirvana lol Clear and concise…….made it understandable. I looked many times at other videos set ups and nothing with the clarity and easy to follow like yours. Based on this a veteran who spend obscene money in the beginning to support the dream I am back.based on this video I subscribe to your channel. Thank you

@Hectate i assume after a longer session your can feel it in your left shoulder? if so try to find a better position for your flightstick it looks like your arm is not resting while u sing the stick wich is very very bad and if you do not feel it now you will in the future specialy avoid straightening your arm to reach the joystick and god never in an upwards way.

Is it possible to get your layout profile?

Thx a lot for this analytic point of view. As you say in the video, some things everybody already knows, But thats the point, I think. Just to know something doesn't mean you really can use it and work with this knowledge ;o) I allways was after dual sticks and just thought "everybody uses them and it looks just quite smooth, in all the vids, so of course that will be the way to go." Now I'm rethinking it and will mostly consider the point, you mention, just following logic. :) May be I'll end up with HOSAS, maybe not, but I'll sure overthink it again, before getting new hardware! again, thx a lot. :)

Bro if I buy a left hand stick and I already have gas break pedals can I do this too

interesting

Keeping it on the desk like that is fine? No need to mount? I'm assuming mounting the stick would make it awkward since the mouse needs to be on the desk.

What stick are you using

Awesome explanation of why you chose what you did. The very meticulous planning is insightful but I miss one part - there's a number of "dealfault left-hand inputs" such as Gimball mode, Free Look, Scanning etc that you did not mention. I'm assuming those went to the buttons on the base of the stick or other buttons on the mouse.

My good sir, excellent video. Would you be able to post your XML file of your saved bindings?

What you came for @14:17

Awesome! Great info! subbed for future updates as im just about to go HOSAM myself.

This is incredibly helpful. I was just looking at setting up for this... Which is probably what the internet brought it to me without me actually searching for it... The Googlebook overlords know all

So glad I came across your vid. I've been debating ordering the exact stick for that setup as I've really pushed the M&K as far as I want and now need that analog input for finer control and the extra buttons and such. Thanks man!

Would you be able to upload your bindings files??

Cool

I saw it last night in the philippines about 8pm

🔥

This is the exact setup I have been considering with that VKB nxt throttle and my g502. I'd like the right hand nxt evo as well but its also outside my budget. Thanks for this video!

Hey mate, just wondering how this setup is going for you?

I am wondering if this might be even better using a pad and gameglass?

Great video, very in depth and thorough. Quick question though, did you remove the spring for the Y-axis return-to-center to treat it as a real throttle, or do you prefer return to center on the Y-axis? Thanks in advance.

And I use voice attack for targeting and other inputs
