How to begin...
After reading these past 17 pages, crying to myself, and then weighing my options, I decided to give these new control profiles a go with one module (just one...for now) and I went and deleted my old custom control profile.
However, I soon realized my my question is this...
Is there a way to figure out what each button/switch/axis does what with this new profile, other than going through and figuring out each one, one by one? I'm afraid there's not a controls mapping "guide" or anything of sorts for these new control profiles, is there? I think at this point I can either just start pressing things to figure out what each one does, OR I can go through the controls and try to figure out what "JOY_BTN2", "JOY_BTN6", "JOY_Z", (etc.) actually correspond to on my stick and throttle.
TL;DR:
I'm using this new default control profile given to me by ED, and I feel more confused than ever. Would I better off as a new user if someone just gave me a list of recommended/necessary controls and let me decide what button/switch/axis to assign each one to? Would this be easier than someone deciding on those controls for me, mapping them for me, and then letting me figure out what each control is actually mapped to?
