Control profile for the Thrustmaster Tflight HOTAS X joystick in DCS A-10C with attached diagrams for easy reference, including bonus HOTAS by SOI references.  

My main goal was to tackle most of the commonly used HOTAS controls and match throttle to throttle and stick to stick.  Enjoy, see you in the skies! Feedback welcome :)

NOTE: If you are just looking for my HOTAS by SOI reference diagrams, download them separately here:

My main goal was to tackle the collective and cyclic controls as depicted in the module's manual and match them accordingly. To achieve some semblance of authenticity, if a pilot would have to move off the collective or cyclic to flick a switch or press a button in real life, chances are you'll have to do that here as well. <br />

Your feedback is definitely welcome :) If you think I've forgotten something or can improve it it any way, please let me know in the comments.<br />

UPDATE 20161120: Version 3 released! Includes a secondary, alternate mapping for the spot light direction that is hopefully a bit more user friendly. See change log notes<br />
QUICKFIX 20161123: Alternate spot light direction mapping now only takes one modifier key (btn 10), rather than two.<br />

Control profile for the Thrustmaster Tflight HOTAS X joystick in DCS MiG-21bis with attached diagram for easy reference.

Also, last but not least! Since this is a rather "simple" plane as far as controls go, the mappings are admittedly rather sparse. If you think I've either forgotten to map a control that is on the stick or throttle in real life or interpreted something the wrong way, please please please let me know in the comments ASAP so I can improve it for subsequent releases :)

A compact design, legible and accessible on a mobile phone or second monitor. Comes in vertical and horizontal flavors, each with several color schemes. Base Excel and SVG files included for tweaking. Feedback welcome, please comment if you see any room for improvement. Enjoy, see you in the skies!
