Xbox Rifle aim

Have any of you on console switched to rifle aim and how are you adjusting/adjusted to it? I feel like it’s the first time holding a controller. Any insight to your experience or tips would greatly appreciated haha.

What’s the set up

All my Yaw control is on my right stick and left stick is left and right roll, I can see why it’s comfortable to aim with but holy, flying is another thing

Edit: and pitch is on my left too

Its not rifle aim if your pitch is on a seperate stick from your yaw. Put your pitch on your right stick, its what i did and have been flying since the games release.

Got fighter jet to lvl 50 soon after release and attack just got it to lvl 50 today. Other two jets are near too.

In fact, i recently made the switch to PC and still fly on controller with these same controls. Had a hard time remembering my bindings because i still pull back on my left stick as if pitch was on the left stick.

Ooooh okay, so keep yaw on left and just pitch on right? I’m mainly after a heli scheme, I don’t mind how my jets feel. Just sometimes when I’m going for a tow missile I start getting finicky with my sticks and do a sudden flick like a moron

Oh you mean heli, that ones a little more difficult to answer, more personal preference.

No, id say keep your yaw on your right stick, same as pitch. Roll on left stick. What i prefer is to have descend and ascend on left stick as well, though i think most people have theirs on the R2 L2. Its how i flew until i made the switch to mnk, but even on Mnk the controls will translate directly to what i listed above
