You do not need a profile, period. I mapped everything via the in game controls GUI except the mini joystick. There I did create a profile to change it to bands so I can map keys to it again. On my stick it's the radio hat switch.
Gear is mapped to T2, flaps up to T1 and down to T3. Autopilot is mapped to T4. Master arm will be mapped to the guarded switch but there is currently not a button available in the controls menu to map it to in BETA 1.
So as almost per the real deal mapping are as follows then.
H4 forward and back is the speedbrakes.
H5 is the Up and down the boat switch and forward and aft the china switch. I use button D for china switch centre.
H6 mapped to Coolie hat
H7 to HOTAS slew functions
K button the pinky switch and F the left throttle button.
H1 is trim
H2 DMS
POV is TMS
H3 CMS
C is nose wheel steering and pinky mapped to trigger first stage.
The rest I use the clickable cockpit or straight via the keyboard.
I also own two Thrustmaster MFD's which are mapped accordingly.
So as you can see, almost like the real deal with slight modifications to accommodate the different layout.
