SETUP (do this once)
 1. Set the stick base switch on the back to RIGHT HANDED. Windows (Win+R, joy.cpl) then lists
    "Sol-R [R] Flightstick" and "Sol-R 6 Throttle". Leave PoV enabled on the stick.
 2. Install the Thrustmaster driver package (support.thrustmaster.com, SOL-R 4 HOTAS) and update
    both devices. You do NOT need T.A.R.G.E.T.; stop any running T.A.R.G.E.T. profile.
 3. Copy the XML into:
    ...\Roberts Space Industries\StarCitizen\LIVE\user\client\0\controls\mappings
 4. Start the game, press ~ for the console, and type:
    pp_rebindkeys layout_AbsoluteGaming_SOLR4
    (or Options > Keybindings > Advanced Controls Customization > Control Profiles > Load)
 5. The stick must be joystick 1 and the throttle joystick 2. If the throttle slide pitches the
    ship, they are swapped. Type:  pp_resortdevices joystick 1 2  then run pp_rebindkeys again.
 6. Throttle slide forward = fly forward, middle = stop, back = reverse. If it's backwards:
    Options > Keybindings > Joystick / HOTAS 2 > Inversion Settings > flip strafe forward/backward.
 7. Deadzones only if something creeps at rest: 0.02 to 0.05 on that axis.

HOW THE LAYOUT WORKS
  Stick: forward/back = pitch, left/right = yaw, twist = roll. Grip = weapons, missiles,
         targeting. Base = flight assists (G-safety, ESP, decoupled), quantum, power, VTOL.
  Throttle: slide = thrust, mini-stick = strafe, antenna knob = mining power / salvage spacing.
         PoV = shields, upper 4-way hat = camera look, lower hat = ping / doors / lights,
         toggle switch = landing gear, buttons = boost, decoy, noise, space brake.
  The throttle rudder (twist the handle) and the stick base lever are left free for you.
