 I know, I don't stick with a single game any more, and rarely ever get deeply involved with any games.

Too many to play, not enough time to play, and Covid brain fog for the last three years has really put a crimp in my plans.

This one's called Oolite, and it's a dedicated tribute to the glory of the original Elite.  I'm just beginning to set  the joystick controls up, and start learning the commands.  These are a map of my Thrustmaster T16000M stick and throttle, using the games built-in controller screen.

In a pinch, I can use Voice Attack for a far more sophisticated layout, but this seems to cover the main "stick" commands I want.  So attached here is my layout, plus the first page of the guide that comes with the game (which is totally free, by the way).  Between these two, I should have a quick reference to anything I may need.
