How does one map inputs? (I'm feeling like an idiot)

Nice! Not to challenge you or anything, but in the hopes of inspiring others and also to prove that A-A refuelling is not impossible, would you consider doing a video of yourself doing an AAR with a 2nd camera on your hands as you operate the XBox controller? That would be so sweet!!
As a challenge, do you think you can do AAR with a Guitar Hero controller? Hehehehe….

I can try doing something, although the 2nd camera will have to be set up somewhere, not in my hands haha.
I’m not sure I’ll be able to have an app recording the game though, as I’m afraid my FPS will drop quite a bit (I’m running on low settings at 40-45 FPS), but I can probably have my mobile phone set up somewhere where both my hands and the screen are visible at the same time.As a challenge, do you think you can do AAR with a Guitar Hero controller? Hehehehe….
I’m afraid that would require a set of skills I do not have

Haha! No pressure at all mate! I know some people have claimed to be playing BMS with a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro and be able to do formation and do AAR and connect to the tanker while in a turn… this is the first time someone is claiming to do it with an Xbox controller and that would be awesome to see!
Anyway, hope that gets you sorted out a little bit more until you get a HOTAS. You must be doing some serious finger acrobatics when flying, alternating between KB, mouse, and controller!

Made the video, once it uploads I’ll post the link here.
I had to use the mobile’s camera to film, so although you can see both my hand and what’s happening with the F-16, the graphics won’t look stunning haha. I filmed the whole approach and refuel up to 9000lbs, also showed the controller and simulation settings in the end, it will have 08:50 minutes.
Also, as you will be able to see, controlling the attitude is not a problem. What I actually think is hard is controlling the throttle. For the attitude, you just gotta be gentle and learn not to overcorrect (I assume the same can be said for the throttle, but I still have a bit of difficulty with it). -
Here you go:
I managed to get the boom disconnected at first by mistake (not paying attention to the game to see if the mobile was still filming)
As I said in the description, the stuttering you see was not present in the game, it has to do with the recording.
Also, my right hand is controlling the throttle on a throttle axis/slider. -

Marc…

Yeah, I think that from playing War Thunder I got used to the controller almost null dead zone and it’s sensitivity.
I need, though, a better throttle. Sometimes when I move the throttle slider just a tiny little bit, the movement is not detected (like, it has some type of dead zone between throttle values). This is a problem in refueling, because when I start to drift forward a bit too much for example, I try bringing the Throttle back a bit but the aircraft keeps moving forward. So not to lose the boom I try and bring the throttle back a bit harder and end up slowing down too much.
Gotta get used to this until I buy a HOTAS. -
What are you using for throttle? Great job on the video! Thanks!

I had an old stick with a throttle slider. The stick itself is not working, but it’s buttons and the throttle axis is.
This is the boi xD:

Wow… I remember that stick… my respect for your skills and patience only increases knowing the hardware you are using and the things you can achieve with it. I would argue that you’d be better served by buying a TrackIR next instead of a HOTAS
@Cik:
are you recording your screen you big dummy
He is… and on the YT page: “As you can see, as I’m running Falcon in a potato I call PC, it is running on very low graphics settings, therefore having a program like FRAPS to record it wasn’t reliable. I decided then to have my mobile phone camera recording both the screen and the controller showing both myself moving the stick and the F-16 reaction in game.”

Not at all, I’m recording my cat. Did you open the correct video?

Yeah, I was decided to wait and buy better hardware to download BMS. But I couldn’t stop watching Krause videos, so I decided to get Falcon 4.0 and install it anyway to see if I could get any fun with what I had haha.
