Joystick Pitch Control Axis

Blue Robotics Software Cockpit

I have seen similar themed posts, however they do not completely fit the bill.

I use Mode2 layout on the Xbox controller, and would like to modify the controls slightly.

I wish to:

Change Ascend/descend from left stick, to LT/RT axis

Change left stick forward/back (currently ascend/descend) to pitch up/down.

The above will allow me to have pitch and yaw on left stick, and ascend/descend not have the potential of accidental yaw.

This is with Cockpit, so the LT/RT will work (unlike QGC).

I am aware of the Trim Pitch control parameter, is there a different control parameter that could be used on the stick axis?

Hi @3dMB,

There’s actually a small factor that’s blocking this from working at the moment - I recently implemented a fix for it, but it needs to be reviewed before it can be included in a release. I’ve just marked that for fast-tracking, since there have been multiple requests for this kind of thing lately.

You’re welcome to test the pull request by downloading a relevant artifact (requires being logged in to GitHub), but otherwise I’m hopeful it will be available in a beta release some time this week or next :slight_smile:

Axis T controls pitch. I’m also working on making that clearer, but it requires some infrastructure improvements that need to be well considered so we can maintain them effectively - apologies for the ambiguity/confusion in the meantime.

Thanks @EliotBR
