To map custom controls for VR Controllers follow these instructions:

To edit the current mappings, select "Edit this Binding", which will open a window and allow managment of both "Default" (UI interaction) and "Flight" (X-Wing controls) profiles.
-
Controls NOT marked as optional must be mapped in order to participate in core gameplay functions.
-
When finished editing bindings select "Save Personal Bindings" to allow SteamVR to remember these mappings.
To map custom controls for HOTAS controllers follow these instructions:
- Open Project Stardust launcher by double-clicking "Project Stardust.exe" and select the "Input" tab to view current bindings for HOTAS. IMPORTANT: Dependent on your system configuration your HOTAS joystick number may not be "Joystick 0". If you manually map controls in steps below it will detect your joystick and axis numbers that are specific to your HOTAS setup.
- Double-click the Control's primary input that you wish to change and the launcher will prompt you to provide an input for this action
- For buttons, you will be prompted to press a button on your HOTAS to map. Input should be automatically detected.

To map custom controls for Keyboard / Gamepad controllers follow these instructions:
- Open Project Stardust launcher by double-clicking "Project Stardust.exe" and select the "Input" tab to view current bindings. IMPORTANT: Keyboards and gamepads are not supported by default. Keyboards can not be used alone since a joystick axis of some type is required for pitch/yaw/roll. However, mapping them with the steps below should allow you to use a keyboard and controller combination..
- Double-click the Control's primary input that you wish to change and the launcher will prompt you to provide an input for this action
