More ways to set up your controller and keep your camera and weapons within reach.
- Rebind controller buttons in-game. Open Options → Controls & Camera → Controller Buttons to change flight controls, guns, rockets, landing gear, map zoom, camera view, recentering and the controls overlay.
- Support for split-trigger throttle levers. The new Combined triggers (LT + RT) option joins both halves of a center-detent lever into one continuous throttle axis.
- Keep your camera and weapons available. Combined throttle reserves both triggers, so moving the lever cannot fire guns or rockets. Move your weapon bindings to other buttons and keep both right-stick camera axes for looking around.
- Control hints follow your bindings. The control legend and takeoff/landing throttle prompts show your saved controller assignments.
- Safer transitions back to flight. Rebound buttons held while using menus, changing bindings, reconnecting or returning focus must be released before they can act in flight.
Setting up a split-trigger HOTAS throttle
Select Absolute axis under Throttle, then choose Combined triggers (LT + RT). Move the lever to idle and select Set idle position, then move it to full power and select Set full power position. Assign Fire guns and Fire rockets to your preferred buttons under Controller Buttons.
Bindings save automatically. Used buttons swap actions, Unbound clears an assignment, and Reset controller bindings restores the button defaults while keeping your throttle calibration.
