SETUP (do this once)
 1. Under each base is a LEFT HANDED / RIGHT HANDED switch for the 12 base buttons.
    Left stick on LEFT HANDED, right stick on RIGHT HANDED. Windows (Win+R, joy.cpl) lists
    both sticks as "T.16000M". Optional: move the thumb rest and hand rest on the left stick
    to left-handed (T.16000M manual, steps 5 and 6).
 2. Windows installs the driver by itself. You do NOT need T.A.R.G.E.T.; close it if it runs.
    Plug the sticks in with the stick and twist centred.
 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_T16000M_Dual
    (or Options > Keybindings > Advanced Controls Customization > Control Profiles > Load)
 5. The RIGHT stick must be joystick 1 and the LEFT stick joystick 2 (the same order CIG's own
    T.16000M dual preset uses). Both sticks have the same name, so Windows picks the order.
    If pushing the right stick strafes instead of pitching, type:
    pp_resortdevices joystick 1 2   then run the pp_rebindkeys line again.
 6. Left stick forward = fly forward. 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.
 8. TFRP pedals (optional) on their USB adapter show up as "T-Rudder", usually joystick 3.
    Pick actions for the rudder and toe brakes in the form; take yaw off the right stick
    first if you give it to the pedals.

HOW THE LAYOUT WORKS
  Left stick: forward/back = thrust, left/right = strafe, twist = up/down. Trigger = boost,
         button 2 = space brake, 3/4 = decoy/noise, hat = shields, base = flight systems,
         doors, lights, cameras.
  Right stick: forward/back = pitch, left/right = yaw, twist = roll. Trigger/2 = fire groups,
         3 = missiles, 4 = unlock, hat = target cycling, base = target pins, sub-targets, modes.
  Right throttle wheel = mining laser power / salvage spacing. Left wheel is free.
