Oolite meet Warthog

These are my TM Warthog settings for playing Oolite. My HOTAS setup comprises a Warthog joystick and throttle and T-Flight Rudder Pedals (TFRP).

In this guide only the internal Oolite controller support is used. TM or vendor agnostic profiling software or other utilities aren't used. The Oolite controller support is very comprehensive and additional software just isn't required.

Major axes

The following is probably standard.

Yaw	Joystick x-axis
Pitch	Joystick y-axis
Thrust	Throttle z-axis
Roll	Rudder pedals

For those attuned to helicopter like controls, the following may be preferable. It requires far more coordination and major engagements can become quite tiring, but can be very immersive. The remaining axes are unchanged.

Roll	Joystick x-axis
Yaw	Rudder pedals

Major buttons

Major fire controls, ident and ECM are assigned to major buttons for speed.

Fire lasers	Joystick trigger
Toggle weapons	Joystick button 1
Fire missiles/bombs	Joystick button 2
Ident system	Joystick button 3
ECM	Joystick button 4

Joystick hat clusters

Joystick hats are used to cluster non-navigational related controls together.

View controls (forward, aft, etc.)	Joystick hat 1
Targeting controls (compass/ships)	Joystick hat 2
Equipment	Joystick hat 3
Weapons	Joystick hat 4

Throttle hat clusters

Throttle hats are used to cluster thrust and navigational related controls together.

Thrust, torus, jump controls	Throttle hat 1
Docking controls	Throttle hat 2
