This is a build from my flight hardware that I use when playing Star Citizen. It has the Warthog HOTAS and a set of T.Flight Rudder Pedals (TFRP). It is designed to keep the things that I am used to doing in Elite as close as possible to the same reactions in Star Citizen. The profile that I use in Elite is from Aussiedroid if you are interested search him in google. His profile had inspired my profiles that I create to have the same level of ease of use. But have the depth to be able to do almost all function that you would need in a game with such different ships and jobs that the ships can do.
Required hardware:
Thrustmaster (TM) Warthog HOTAS – Throttle and Joystick
Optional hardware:
TM T.Flight Rudder Pedals (TFRP) – in flight mode
NaturePoint TrackIR – IR headset (hat rig not tested and unsure if it will work properly with included settings file.)
Optional Software:
External VoIP - Discord,TS3,Mumble,Skype
This script works well in SC and was built in 3.9.0 and should be fine in later patches.
There are several things that you may want to change from the way I fly. Most of the setting are in the ‘SC_User_Settings-v#.#.ttm’ file.
See file for more on what can be changed.
