Star Citizen Dual Stick And Throttle

Your throttle is like 2 or 3.

Star citizen dual stick and throttle. So in my internal debate of hotas vs dual stick i thought. This is a short dirty video to invert your hotas throttle control for 3 5 and beyond flight model. To fully enjoy the bdsse best damn space sim ever you need the best damn controllers ever. I use dual stick in dogfights canyon flying etc and the throttle for set it and forget it flying like entering and exiting atmo.

While keyboard and mouse works for star citizen its not the ideal way to play it except for the first person parts. Would it be possibly to for example have a warthog and a t16000m using the sticks for the usual dual stick setup while also having the warthog throttle to the left of your left stick and use its extra buttons for the probable mass of bindable future actions and for cruise control when you don. The other advantage although specific to the thrustmaster t 16000m hotas is that you don t have to make some weird compromise for an unintuitive up down thrust. Just use the mini stick that is part of the throttle.

The throttle is also useful for the extra buttons i have things like quantum on it to keep my stocks open for missiles and target locks. In the controls section where you can adjust your curves there is an option to invert the throttle. This is because space sims like star citizen and elite dangerous have 6 dof degrees of freedom which means you need 6 axes to control your space craft optimally plus another axis. You have to make sure you are on the right joystick input though i kept changing it on 1 but that is actually the flight stick itself and won t affect the throttle.

All that being said i know several people who do prefer the dual stick setup. It is worth trying. Would it be possible to do both.
