Quick note: I made the new default settings for 8 Hotas setups in X4, which got deployed in 7.00 Beta 7.
So if you want to use mine, just use the default settings ;)
Beta ok to use?
yes, absolutely.
I have the dual vkb sticks coming next week (same as you have in the video)... are you saying the default control mapping (I'm on 7.0 beta) will work out of the box the same way you have it configured in this video?
do you have a picture of the default controls you made? i like to print them out for reference instead of blindly pressing buttons. the link in your description leads to a blank picture
Perfect timing! I was looking for something exactly like this video, and it just appeared. Thank you!
Perfect!
thx for taking the time !
Awesome thanks a lot :)
Glad it helped!
I feel like with games that has gimballed weapons HOTAS will always be in a disadvantage to a mouse when it comes to aiming. Elite is an exception because the gimballed weapons autotrack the target near the crosshair ( withing their gimball limits ) but for example in X4 where the gimballs allow for a significant tracking off the center its much easier to just put the mouse on it than to track it with a joystick.
I am not trying to hate on on HOTAS I have 2 different sets ( Warthog and a Virpil ) and been a fan of flightsims ( DCS, Falcon BMS ) for decades at this point.
Ernsthaft, gutes Video. Direkt die Sticks besorgen.
Danke sehr! Habt mir Mühe gegeben :D
@@CaptainCollins Hast doch bestimmt Affiliatelinks, giff ma rüber :D Sowat muss unterstützt werden, oder reicht der eine Link in der Beschreibung?
Oh, spät gesehen das Kommentar... leider keine Affi links. Nur was über Amazon verfügbar ist, die anderen machen das nicht.
Awesome video Captain Collins, just wondering if there is a link for the VKB NXT EVO button layouts (Blank). I search their site and can't seem to find the template. I just got my sticks and would like to set them up properly as you instructed in this video :) I have downloaded your xml and will use that but would like a visual to get use to my button layout. Thanks, keep up the awesome videos.
Thanks for mentioning, I realized they somehow removed it on their new website. I uploaded them to Drive for you to download: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1LBVCKCbHdr0_p8og_lG9y5nReK0ty_cA?usp=sharing
Is there any way to print out the mappings for a given hotas so I have a reference to look at while playing ??
I'm using the X52 Pro and want to try your mappings out
E2A: Never mind, joining discord worked once I'd patched it.. I'll go dig around on there !
I find targeting enemies in x4 with a mouse and keyboard horribly, disgustingly, frustratingly impossible. Not sure a joystick would help. Shift E is targeting enemy, is there another one that keeps autotargeting? The crosshairs, barely visible as they are, jump all over the place and all I hit is my rsi treshhold,
I'm assuming you know about switching your mouse mode?
Does x4 work with trackir?
I know it works with Tobii, should also work with trackir, since the controls are in game for enabling head tracking
@@CaptainCollins not able to share your vkb dual stick diagrams or config?
huh? If you ask me why it's not linked, there's an easy answer: I made the new default layouts in the X4 7.00 Beta 7. No need to share them, they are all in the game :)
Ive starting X4 again but this time with a Thrustmaster 16000M hotas. You describe your thought process very well and Ill be trying your configuration which you kindly shared with us on discord. Thanks.
