Quickly, Easily setup single, dual joystick, throttle in Star Citizen 3.23+ Mastermodes SCM / NAV

[@BC_Joshie]

haven't played on over a year now and man its annoying setting up keybinds/sticks binds, I swear there's a lot more than before lol, thanks for the guide

[@AlexHirschOfficial]

I had been putting off a system restore and total refresh of my PC for a while. The time came today due to some unforeseen issues - and I was STRESSED about setting up all of my SC gear again. HidHide, Joystick Gremlin, all this stuff - why did I even have it? I followed a tutorial before and it seemed like the way. Unbelievable that it just kind of "works" without any of that. I didn't even install the VKB/MFG software for my sticks/pedals. Unreal. This guide is a masterclass in how its done. The cutaways showing you binding the key are a phenomenal touch. A+ work there, your channel is now my defacto joystick guide to send people.

[@PaganLinuxGeek]

@AlexHirschOfficial this comment hit my soft spots. I am grateful for your kind words and that my guide could be of help. o7 citizen and I'll see you in the next one.

[@inmitch]

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.

[@PaganLinuxGeek]

You're too kind! Glad I can be of help!

[@dugggins]

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.

[@PaganLinuxGeek]

EXACTLY! Best to make your own bindings. This video is titled GUIDE rather than "the only way" for that reason.

[@SRSR-pc8ti]

Thank-you so much! Finally, my Virpil / VKBs are setup for SC. You provided a great service to the community. Subbed and thanks again.

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!

[@johnjoy6374]

So after your initial save you added some blindings at the end, do you need to save again, or since you were on the profile when you made the additional changes it automatically saves???

[@PaganLinuxGeek]

No. I didn't show the additional save for brevity. After a keybinding change that you intend to keep save again by exporting.

[@adamkelley4746]

Perfect tutorial. No gobaldygook! Thank you.

@arywonfu9627 yes I can do that.

[@arywonfu9627]

[@ccourtin4062]

I could use that too. Thank you so much for your videos! This helped me set up my thurstermasters!

[@dugggins]

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.

[@PaganLinuxGeek]

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.

[@dugggins]

@@PaganLinuxGeek I have used this method on both tm16000s and vkb. worked perfectly every time.

[@sendinthetorps8681]

MADE IT SO SIMPLE

[@PaganLinuxGeek]

Thank you for commenting, and watching!

[@Cryomoprh2]

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?

[@PaganLinuxGeek]

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?

[@Cryomoprh2]

Thank you for replying. I’ll try that tomorrow. Using VKB NXT EVO stick and Omni left.

[@PaganLinuxGeek]

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.

[@Cryomoprh2]

@@PaganLinuxGeek This helped. Thank you so much! All working now.

[@PaganLinuxGeek]

@Cryomoprh2 excellent! Party on Wayne!

[@Sheppardsg1]

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

[@PaganLinuxGeek]

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.

[@IsaardP]

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

[@PaganLinuxGeek]

Do you engage in ship vs ship combat often?

[@OldManGamer65]

I set throttle forward backward in controls and hours. When I back on the throttle it goes to 0 and then bounces back up

[@PaganLinuxGeek]

@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.

[@thomass4687]

@@PaganLinuxGeek Do you know were is abs ? I have the same issue with my crankset

[@PaganLinuxGeek]

@@thomass4687 throttle abs was removed in newer releases. Ill.update this guide after the dust settles. 3.24.2 is ROUGH right now.

[@thomass4687]

@@PaganLinuxGeek Ok, I've come to the same conclusion, I can't use my racing crankset to go forward or backward. It's a shame this option has been removed. Thank you very much for your reply.

[@PaganLinuxGeek]

@thomass4687 yogi and team received a LOT of heated feedback regarding keybind changes and removals. I'd urge you to provide yours as well on spectrum. I also dislike the removal of the option to use two analog inputs for forward / reverse motion.

[@OldManGamer65]

Also when I set my limiter, it acts like a throttle

[@PaganLinuxGeek]

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.

[@maddogtungate6740]

Why is it that star citizen players mostly use the twist as roll? Roll naturally is left and right stick movement.

[@PaganLinuxGeek]

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?

[@savedgame2033]

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!😂

[@PaganLinuxGeek]

Like a common pleb? Heaven's to Betsy! lol Glad I could help get you back on those sticks. o7 Citizen!

[@davewills148]

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.

[@PaganLinuxGeek]

I would urge you to repeat this in spectrum, and tag Yogi.

[@imagines9688]

Sticks still nice for easy to reach keybinds while using kb m 😅..the again using both seems to get real glitchy
