Heli/Plane controller bindings, Please share yours.

[white0devil 10]

Hello, I bought a 360 controller for flying helis and planes in ARMA 2 OA. I do however have some trouble deciding where to bind what keys.

My current set up is:

Left/Right trigger: Decrease/Increase thrust (Not the "Thrust/Break (Analogue)" ones. Don't even know what's so special about them.)

Left/Right shoulders: Pedals

Start/Select button: Scroll options

D-pad: Look around

Left stick X-axis: Bank left/right

Left stick Y-axis: Pitch up/down

Left stick button: Perform marked action.

Not using the right stick for anything atm, I can't use it for looking since ARMA 2 doesn't (to my knowledge) recognise things like: "Down-left" and "Up-right" when looking around with a stick.

As for A,B,X,Y I'm having it like this:

A: Fire

B: Countermeasures

X: Cycle weapons

Y: Switch target.

Please give me your thoughts, tips and/or controller setups.

You don't even have to use a 360 controller. Please share your setups, I really want to try some out. : )

Hello,

i have a Logitech Rumblepad 2:

right stick: Bank and Pitch

left stick: pedals

left trigger/shoulder: increase/decrease thrust

right trigger/shoulder: fire/switch target

d-pad: scroll options (i don't need it for looking arround because i use track ir)

button 1: cycle weapons

button 2: reset look (track ir)

button 3: countermeasures

button 4: fire order(for AI gunners)

button 9: TS3

button10: activate/deactivate track ir

the gamepad is a little different so the bindings too... i hope it helps you anyway
