I'm a lazy bastard, I can admit that when I can bother to work up the energy to do so. I also have a T.16000 stick and throttle and I haven't rebound my keys since the flight overhaul. I found these bindings on spectrum for 3.3 and only just noticed that it looks like they updated it for 3.5
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/50174/thread/thrustmaster-t-16000-fcs-hotas-fillable-pdf-form-c. Since 3.6 is coming really soon I don't know if it will still be helpful at this point but I know
@August had posted a few links for a HOSAS profile for the T.16000 and I'm sure some other folk out there besides me may benefit from a HOTAS one as well.
I use that as a starting point, with some of the things
@August worked out, but I had to modify it because I currently use only 1 T.16000M. I'm not using a second stick, it's not possible at the moment because I don't have the room... that'll change in September or October. However, I'm thinking of using the Thrustmaster TWCS Throttle instead of a second stick. What I discovered is that CIG did not modify the prior configurations, you can still use the throttle for speed only, not both speed and direction, and use the keyboard or a button on the HOTAS setup to modify the direction.
Also, if you're doing something different from what is written down, you can work out most of the configuration you'll need in the single player Arena Commander before you try it in multi-player or the PU. Saved me
some embarrassment from flying backwards and smashing into Port Olisar.
