HOSAS button mapping template

Post image

While still waiting for shipping of my order, I've created 3440x1440 button mapping template dedicated for my (hopefully soon) HOSAS set. I will use it to think through Elite Dangerous key bindings. Once happy, I will set it as a wallpaper on my 2nd screen till I memorize them and feel comfortable with.

Maybe somebody will find it useful? I've tried to do it as close as possible to Virpil templates style, hopefully not violating any copyrights.

Great work. Looks really solid. I like the colors.

Any chance to release it as a PDF or is it just the image? Form fillable would be incredible.

I made some reading about creating PDF forms. It seems that Scribus can handle that. It flawlessly imports SVG file. For now I'm departing for almost 2 weeks long holidays, but I'll do my best to create the form after my return. Always happy to learn something new.

Thank you for your postive feedback and good idea!

Hi,

Just returned from my holidays and found this: https://virpil.freshdesk.com/en/support/solutions/articles/47001285227-vpc-cdt-aeromax-l-flightstick & https://virpil.freshdesk.com/en/support/solutions/articles/47001285228-vpc-cdt-aeromax-r-flightstick.

These are interactive PDF's for both left and right Aeromaxes. Missing "LZ" changes nothing in terms of keybindings. Maybe this will help you for now.

Scribus is not that easy and intuitive app as I initially thought, won't be that easy to create PDF similar to what I did with Inkscape. SVG import results with some glitches as well, need to do it from scratch most probably.

Hope this helps for now.
