Ace Combat 6 Pc

I usually fly with a Saitek X55 and I had a backup Thrustmaster T-Flight but neither was available. There were Xbox 360 controllers lying around but I remembered having an Ace Combat 6 HORI Ace-Edge stick from the Xbox 360 Game. So why not try to make it work with Elite Dangerous?

Install the Xbox 360 controller drivers
Download the Xbox 360 controller drivers from Microsoft then install. A reboot may be necessary.
Test the ACE Edge
Run joy.cpl -> Properties -> Test. Move the stick and press all the buttons to test that you are getting inputs. The Throttle two knobs on the throttle are dummies. The button above LB is also false. M1/M2/M3 mode switches are not recognized by joy.cpl. Same with the Xbox button on the Stick body.

We need to register the Vendor ID and Product ID of the Ace-Edge with ED. Run Control Panel -> Device Manager -> Microsoft Common Controller for Windows -> Xbox 360 Controller for Windows -> Details -> Property: Hardware IDs
It should return the above if you only have the Ace-Edge hooked up as a gamepad.

Find your existing Custom*.binds and make backups in C:Usersyour user idAppDataLocalFrontier DevelopmentsElite DangerousOptionsBindings.ED currently comes in 32-bit (1.5), 64-bit (1.5) and 64-bit-only Horizons (2.02). There appears to be multiple directories where DeviceMappings.xml can be modified. But you only need to change the one you intend to play.

Inside either of those is a ControlSchemes directory. Make a backup of DeviceMappings.xml. Modify DeviceMappings.xml then add the PID and VID to the Gamepad area. I put mine in the end of that section right before the Gamepad tag for the XB1 controller.
Don't forget to save! If you want a sample here is the posted code.
Create a new Custom Control Profile
Start Elite Dangerous. If you did the above right, the joystick D-pad should let you navigate the menu. The Trigger button (A) will work as select. From here you can go to Options -> Controls -> Xbox 360 Controller. From here you can start customizing as you desire.
I discovered that the Paddle didn't work well as yaw or thruster. When I tried to map it to Left/Right Thruster Axis it turned into a permanent right thrust/turn. Instead I treat it as a modifier button in combination with D-pad to provide left/right thrust. That's too bad since this was used as yaw in the AC6 game. By default the yaw is mapped to the R-Stick x axis.
The Throttle D-pad is supposed to mirror the Joystick D-pad but it wasn't reliable to trigger on my stick so I left it alone. The calibration on my throttle was also a bit suspect when running in full range. If I need a reverse switch I can use the index finger button on the throttle. Also the Joystick Start button couldn't be mapped to the game. It appears to be hard coded as an escape key.
I made an AceEdge.binds which can be used as a starting point. Just copy it to the ControlSchemes folder.Update:Found a thread on this in Frontier forums on Ace Edge Z-Rotation does not work.
Yes but when you take into account all the consoles put together they should
white wash the PC in terms of games produced. And the quality and variety of
games on consoles is improving all the time. Im well expecting future games
such as Elite 4 to only come out on consoles the way it is going.Combat

But this could be a good thing. The sooner we get risd of the FPS and RTS
gamers to the consoles the more chance PC gaming will become a niche market
again and the sooner we get decent sims and strategy games again with great
gameplay. Thats my view anyway. But I will probably never live to see the
day.

Well I have my memories and can count myself fortunate that I lived through
the golden era of PC gaming. I definitely consider the years from around
2000 onwards to be the worst time for PC gaming ever. Problem is I cant go
back to old games. Even my all time favourite games like M1TP, Tornado and
EF200 just look rubbish by todays standards. The truth is the way I now feel
about graphical standards having been spoiled by todays games I have helped
create this situation myself by buying games that concerntrate on the
graphics. Its a vicious circle.

But I think Ive now played so many lousy sequels and replayed so many
variations on a theme that I dont have to buy Civ 5 or Simcity Societies 2
or FIFA 08 or any of the other rubbish games likely to come out in the
future. Ive realised I think, and its taken a while, that everything that
comes out I have played before in a better incarnation in the past. Perhaps
now I can start really getting into the few games that are great that I buy.
And I can perhaps start being a lot more selsctive in what I buy from now
on. Lately Ive looked in the gaming magazines and I dont see one game I want
to get. Thats been the case for months. In the golden era I would want to
buy 50% of the games that were reviewed. And a few years ago I would be
suckered into buying yet another incarnation and regret it as soon as I got
home. Not any more.

There are a couple of good games due shortly though - and some of the most
promising sims, strategy games etc for many years on the horizon. Perhaps
the PC market is dividing into the quality developers and the crud. Now if I
can just filter out the crud....
