Summary of the X56 HOTAS configuration I made for myself & currently use for the A-10C II. This setup has been an absolute game changer for my enjoyment, aircraft handling, and overall in flight immersion. After sharing it with a few of my friends who found it extremely helpful, one of them recommended that I post it publicly so new pilots can use it as a reference and starting point for their own control layout.
I’m sharing it here in the hope that it provides a clear, organized guide for anyone getting into the Warthog or looking to streamline their controls. Whether you're brand-new to DCS or just refining your setup, I hope this helps you get up and flying more confidently. If you have suggestions or want to compare layouts, I’d love to hear what others are using as well.
