Seriously, the default gamepad controls are really... wonky. You can't do a lot of flight maneuvers at the same time unless you have four hands. All of the vets have changed theirs to something very similar to this:

Left Trigger= Accelerate / Right Trigger= Decelerate
Left Shoulder= Fire Primary / Right Shoulder= Fire Secondary
Left Joystick= Strafe Up/Down and Strafe Left/right. Depressing it rolls left (Rotate CCW)
Right Joystick= Turn Up/Down and Turn Left/Right. Depressing it rolls right (Rotate CW)
DPad Up=Turbo, Down=Breaks, Left=Target Nearest Enemy, Right=Target Front
X=PDA, A=Flight Assist, B=Activate*, Y=Fire Tertiary

*Why does "Activate" act as a "Back" button in the PDA instead of activating the selected function?! This is especially annoying in VR, as I have to raise my hand to click on the side of the headset, instead of being able to press a button on the controller.
