SETUP (do this once)
 1. Leave the switch under the stick base on RIGHT HANDED (factory setting). Windows
    (Win+R, joy.cpl) lists "T.16000M" and "TWCS Throttle".
 2. Install the TWCS driver (support.thrustmaster.com, TWCS Throttle > Drivers). You do NOT
    need T.A.R.G.E.T.; close it if it runs.
 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_TWCS
 5. The stick must be joystick 1 and the throttle joystick 2. If the throttle steers the
    ship, type:  pp_resortdevices joystick 1 2  then run pp_rebindkeys again.
 6. Throttle forward = fly forward, middle = stop, back = reverse. If it's backwards:
    Options > Keybindings > Joystick / HOTAS 2 > Inversion Settings > flip strafe forward/backward.
 7. TFRP pedals (optional): plug them into the RJ12 socket on the back of the TWCS; they become
    part of the throttle (rudder = Slider 2, toe brakes = Rx / Ry). Keep the pedals centred,
    feet off, when you plug in the USB. Pick actions for them in the form.

HOW THE LAYOUT WORKS
  Stick: forward/back = pitch, left/right = roll, twist = yaw. Grip = weapons, missiles,
         targeting. Base = target pins, sub-targets, flight ready, quantum, missile mode,
         decoupled, scan mode, lights.
  Throttle: Z = thrust, mini-stick = strafe, antenna wheel = mining power / salvage spacing,
         POV = shields, hat 7-10 = power, hat 11-14 = gear / noise / VTOL / SCM-NAV,
         1 = boost, 2 = space brake, 3 = decoy, mini-stick push = ping.
  The rocker, the 4/5 slide switch and the stick's wheel are left free for you.
