The Setup page: both sticks found, Star Citizen found, and a table of what every control does

Setup

Plug in, press one button

  • One-button setupIt finds both sticks and Star Citizen, asks which hand flies, and installs a cockpit-style layout. Your keyboard and mouse settings stay as they were.
  • Survives game patchesWhen a patch wipes your bindings, it puts them back by itself. If the game numbers your sticks the other way round, it fixes that too.

Flight test

  • Guided flight testWalks you through each control so you know everything works before you take off.
  • Nothing extra to installNo VKBDevCfg, vJoy, HidHide or Joystick Gremlin: the game reads the sticks directly. Installs just for you, with no admin rights.
