This is a work in progress control config for Arena Commander (and eventually Star Citizen) that I have been working on. This will obviously change as CIG refines their control system. I plan to eventually add specific control setups for the other two modes on this HOTAS (think different modes for combat, mining, exploration). Please feel free to use this and provide feedback. I would love to hear about any ideas or changes others feel would make the control scheme even better!

Easy steps:
1) Download Star Citizen.pr0 to "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Mad Catz\X-55 Rhino" then right-click rhino icon in system tray and activate profile. Icon should now be green. *
2) Download x55.xml to "StarCitizen\CitizenClient\Data\Controls\Mappings". Default is in the Documents folder I believe. **
3) Launch Star Citizen and in options set controls to the Default keyboard (Not the HOTAS x55).
4) Open the console with "~". Type the following:
"pp_rebindkeys x55.xml" then press Enter

And you should be set!


Additional info:
* Load the profile for the Saitek software:
Star Citizen.pr0
If you want to be able to select it from the icon in the tray, put it in your Rhino folder under My Documents. Mine is located here: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Mad Catz\X-55 Rhino

** Load only one of these xml files in the game by using "pp_rebindkeys path\to\file.xml". Use the one with the axis scheme you prefer:
Roll on twist: x55.xml
Yaw on twist: x55-airplane.xml
These xml files also un-bind some of the default button assignments to allow me to assign them through the Saitek profiler.


That's it! Enjoy!

Notes:

Mode 1: Controls are set to what is in the image above.
Mode 2: Same controls except strafe does not include boost (for more gentle maneuvers).
Mode 3: All controls matched exactly to the default star citizen control listing in the game with any unassigned buttons containing my controls in the image above.

If you have any suggestions, please post them. I would love to hear about a better way to set a certain control.

Thanks for any and all feedback and hope you enjoy using this!

EDIT:
Update 2014/08/23 - added blank.xml and made slight modification to control scheme.
Update 2014/08/26 - added HUD selection to rotary 4. Added eject to TGL 1 - need to hold it for 1 second for it to activate.
Update 2014/09/13 - Created new xml files from patch 0.9 xml files. Re-organized HOTAS setup to be more like default x55 setup in 0.9. Added many new controls. Combined short Boost bursts with brake/strafe for quicker response.
