Just got a new Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas 4 for Elite Dangerous? Hey, me too! The significant reduction in the dead spot in the center of the stick make this sucker even better than the venerable T.Flight Hotas X that gets so regularly recommended. Plus it’s compatible with your PS4.

Unfortunately, .bind files generated for the Thrustmaster Hotas X do not work out without some modification. No worries at all, it’s easy to do!

1. Grab yourself Notepad++ from here:
https://notepad-plus-plus.org
2. Grab your .bind file. I’ve been using Crab’s version. They are very intuitive, and the reference sheet makes learning the controls significantly easier. I’ve been working with the Elite: Dangerous Horizons - T.Flight Hotas X Crab setup v6.00 version. It is available here:

Even if you go with a different set of bindings, the process works the same.
3. Open the .binds file in Notepad++ (Right click - Edit with Notepad++, or Open with… - Find Notepad++)
4. Choose “Replace” from the “Search” menu.
5. Enter “ThrustMasterTFlightHOTASX” (without quotes) into the “Find what:” field. I recommend copying and pasting, it must be exactly correct.
6. Enter “ ThrustMasterHOTAS4” (without quotes) into the “Replace with:” field. I recommend copying and pasting, it must be exactly correct.
7. Click “Replace All.”
8. Open C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Elite Dangerous\Products\elite-dangerous-64\ControlSchemes if you are using the Steam version.
9. Copy the .binds file into this directory.
10. Launch Elite Dangerous and choose the preset from your Options - Controls menu.
