I just got my steam controller and- wow, it's like this thing was made for this game!

I mapped the lower back buttons to custom axis, and the upper ones to landing gear, engine, and eject when both are pressed. Additionally I mapped the left ones to mouse clicks, since I tend to move my finger when pressing the touchpad

Right touchpad mapped as mouse felt like a must, especially useful while meddling with the target filters mid-flight. In other menus it functions well enough to make this game fully playable without a mouse

I assigned the left touchpad to a custom radial menu, with keybinds for radar, NVG, nav lights, link guns and turret control. I already gave the rest of the utility menu options their dedicated buttons, so I bound d-pad left to previous weapon

I meddled with gyro aiming the most, because I wanted to have it in, for some niche use cases, but activating it with either grip or stick capacitive sensors led to a lot of accidental toggles. I finally settled on toggling it by hard pressing both triggers

It should be available in community layouts, so you can test it out for yourselves! I'm also open to suggestions and possible improvements
