💥 Star Wars: Squadrons BEST SETTINGS For Controller Players! 🎮

[@TheFro1112]

I would also suggest changing the power management to “Combo” it makes it so that you just have to tap square once for rear shields, tap twice for front shields, and hold square to reset. For tie fighters you tap once for engine and twice for weapons. Felt a lot better for me

[@TheTwistedJedi]

That’s a good tip I’ll try it out

[@martinmanley5303]

Im definately going to use this, much apreciated for the tip 👍 This game is all about fast managing ur utillities, its really a matter of life and death 😂

[@demetrioshill8484]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@HydroKyl240COG]

Just tapping and flicking the stick for power management isn’t slow though.

[@cernovlasy]

Very useful. Thanks for that. I also changed the auto-target to ON, and just as you said, it's way better. I'm still trying to figure out the right sensitivity, though - it seems a bit wonky. Another big one I'd recommend if you're flying all the time a TIE Figther or a TIE Interceptor (they have no shields) is to use the "Combo" option to divert power. It makes it so easy instead of using the menu ("Hold" option): single tap = engine, double-tap = weapons, hold = balanced. A real game-changer. Thanks again for the vid, man.

[@TmbrKendoWlf]

On Xbox. This brings back memories of the first X-Wing game. Loved the immersion even then. Hoping this holds up

[@joenba44]

Its crazy how similar the hangars look to the original x-wing. Very much inspired by that old relic.

[@KTLaughter]

I was looking for an auto-next target. I was like “why wouldn’t that be default?”

[@TheTwistedJedi]

Yeah it should be on to start I reckon

[@gray-fox6789]

I was thinking the same thing! 😅😅

[@AWACS_Snowblind]

Thank you for this video, I only recently learned how important the sweet spot throttle is while drifting, setting throttle increments to "steps" _really_ makes a difference. 👌

[@r32rocky]

I'm playing on the PS4, using the PS4 controller until someday I can find the Hotas 4 at a decent price! My problem is aiming. I keep overshooting the target, basically always seem to go past the target, never being able to get right on target. It's always bobbing up/down, or left/right past the target, then over reacts again when trying to move back. Yet in most videos, I see players able to have a nice, smooth aim at targets, and not struggling like I am. Any tips? Thanks!

[@CaptainDevelon]

Was searching for a good settings video, watched yours, instant sub, you sir earned a well-deserved like. Keep up with the good content ^^

[@mostlyharmless7715]

I think the best setting is direct for throttle. It treats the analog stick as a hotas throttle. This basically means that your throttle controls will be exactly like battlefield’s if you know how those are.

[@Murph1331]

Ok THIS is what I’ve needed. Thanks for breaking some of this down!

[@AfflictedGamer]

How is your background blue in your menu? I don't see an option to change it from yellow...lol

[@MisterSchmiddty]

I'm having a bit of trouble starting out, I've just been playing Ace Combat 7 so I need to unlearn those reflexes. Didn't know about the practice mode, think that'll be really helpful!

[@cosmicsonata7307]

Same. I even tried remapping the controls to be more like AC, but there are just way too many inputs needed, and changing the throttle to the triggers requires getting rid of other inputs elsewhere. I may figure it out eventually

[@energon_productions205]

Yooo the learning curve is friggin steeeep

[@danielstokker]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 you have never played elite dangerous this is a cake walk

[@OfficialRedTeamReview]

Thank you so much!

[@stubbywankenobi1]

I put shield focus and power mode to combo. You can switch shields and power modes by tapping double tap and hold no longer have to move left stick to switch settings makes it super fluid and easy. I also map drift to left trigger to make drifting a smoother process with it on L3 I find myself adjusting throttle or rolling on accident and I never target with trigger

[@gedt123]

I also found switching the left and right thumb sticks (but not boost), made sense for me.

[@traytonsorensen8352]

So I have a question about the controller. Out of the three main ones, console controller, flight stick, or mouse and keyboard. Is there one that has an advantage over the others?

[@dexterf.handsborough]

Always love Star Wars since I was little and thank you for the feedback

[@MoifMurphy]

Perfect. I'm on PC / Quest with the old Xbox controller and this has helped, massively. Nice one.

[@mitch7729]

This is a great video, honestly upped my enjoyment of the game by at least 30% playing these settings

[@iBloodxHunter]

For me I found the X, Y and B(Sq, Tri, Cir) buttons weren't good enough to be my face buttons so I turned those into quick-look buttons and that helped immensely.

[@reddfoxx897]

Nice, helpful and thorough. 👌🏽

[@chriscarrete5303]

Dude.. thank you! I'm having so much more fun with these settings. 🙏🙏🙏👍👍

[@swordstcg201]

Your A-Wing loadout video helped me out a lot! I'll definitely try this out!!!

[@JJKnapich]

a major one with controller is turning off throttle down to stop boost. this will help your drift insanely. trust

[@EE-yq8cq]

Should I have inverted flight on?

[@Sweetpayne]

Hey. I would be playing on the PS4. Are you able to change the controls so that pitch with roll are on the left stick? Meaning throttle with yaw on the right stick?

[@marcuspacheco3815]

Hey I'm brand new to the game. (PC) xbox controller and I'm really used to the flight controls from GTA v (way better than this garbage) this would be right stick is pitch and roll (you know like a flight stick) triggers to accelerate and decelerate, bumpers for strafe left and right (like pedals) I really want my primary laser cannons to be A. I like that my power settings are the d-pad that makes sense. I'm thinking hit the left stick left or right would be good for cycling targets..... Alternate weapons x and B and then y for counter measures. What should my other controls be? I don't know what half the things they want me to do are so I'm curious to hear what you guys think.

[@haydenwright0657]

I want to thank you for the setting, I was fighting Lindon and couldn’t beat him cause every time I would try to shoot him I couldn’t keep my aim straight, I died like 10 times at least, then I watched this and changed my settings to exactly match yours and as soon as I started fighting Lindon with your settings I won, no practice at all, all I did was play with it one time which is when i was fighting Lindon

[@DanielKarpathios]

Great tips. You’re literally the only channel tweaking the sensitivities and talking about them. The inconsistent aim tracking in this game shits me to tears. Anyone else experiencing this? Do these settings also factor in to tracking enemies better?

[@FearGFX]

I'm on PC... without a hotas, what would be the best controller?

[@blaylock1978]

Hi. PS4. Thanks for the video! These are super helpful because sometimes these games have almost too many options that it’s hard to know not just what’s best, but what the settings actually do...

[@jtperez657]

What about controller scheme? Do you prefer default or aviator?

[@Ashlord__]

PS4 have been playing the trial for this game as COVID hit funds hard but can't wait to play the full game been having an absolute blast with the empire with that beautiful tie fighter screech

[@sephuris5555]

Do they have a control setting where roll and pitch are in the same stick? NVM I fixed myself, I'm coming over from ace combat.

[@gordonfraser9881]

Appreciate the helpful tips! I play on the xbox and trying to figure out best button layout for drifting

[@acehigh79]

One other tip for new players....invert y axis for flight games. Push the left stick up the nose of your fighter goes down and vice versa. Makes flying feel more natural.

[@ElefantGames]

You can invert yaw by custom editing each button/stick individually. Just throwing this info out as much as possible as I played for a week struggling, think it was how warhawk was👌

[@joenba44]

Also is an option in settings, but its kind of hard to find. One is for the ship, the other for your pilots freelook.

[@thatbrianguy1594]

Really wish there was vertical thrust, then I could set the controller up pretty much like Elite Dangerous

[@QuadThumbs]

Same... I find it weird to have pitch and yaw on the same stick as well....

[@manray5140]

I used to play ace combat 6 a lot and this also threw me for a loop, into debris. There should be a controller scheme you can set to aviator in the controls menu that should feel more familiar maybe. It basically switches the roll and yaw.

[@tombalshaw3822]

I’m on Xbox and really looking forward to checking out this game, also great video I have never played a flight simulator game before and I think I will need all the help I can get

[@dartsy341]

Just a heads up for you twisted, Ive streamed several times with music and I haven't gotten copyrighted

[@hmuphilly9129]

What about the control binds? I don't like how the right stick is yaw ind default... anyway to setup as ace combat 7 control scheme?

[@pipugwesisaac2496]

Here’s another tip. I put my dead zone high for my throttle because when I use the left stick to roll i sometimes hit the throttle by accident and don’t always notice right away cause I’m in VR mode. (Or yaw I forget which one I set my left stick to)

[@ghostjobs1480]

Thx bro I'll use this setting

[@marceloh00ba11]

there is a way to bind this like ace combat 7?

Great tips! I'm on PC, looking forward to playing this!

[@lastdimestudios]

I also really need how you’ve mapped your buttons. Help please.

[@jordanrobinette1292]

So I was using steps for throttle and had my deadzone at 0 and sensitivity to 60 like you have it. I was having this issue where I would throttle down and then it would immediately throttle back up automatically. There was really no way for me to set the throttle. It was super frustrating. Took me a while to figure it out. I set my deadzone all the way up to 100 and it fixed the issue.

[@johnmarknorton4809]

Just found the channel! I had been looking for a good controller settings video since the game came out glad you had such a great one! I have a friend that really wants the game but is putting himself through school and cant afford it at the moment! He is on PS4 and I would love to get him a code, plus ill pass on this video for him as well :)
