DroidButtons setup
Any suggestions on how i should set up my db's? It would be great if there are some pictures of the best layouts. I'm using a 5, 7 inch display, by the way.
I'm terribly sorry for taking so long; here's mine, as well as a rundown of the buttons mostly from left to right:
target: select front target
A/F: Toggle autofire [might have to manually type this command button]
T/T: Turbo Toggle [will have to manually type this command button]
F/A: FLight Assist toggle [flymode toggle?]
Fire1: +shoot2 primary trigger [repeated for each thumb]
Fire2: +shoot1 Secondary trigger [repeated for each thumb]
info: not important; type "charinfo" for command. shows your target's liscences
enemy: manually type "designateenemy"; makes your target red on radar and enables A/F to work on him
HUD: not important, used for recordings; turns off the flight HUD [doesnt disable buttons, retap to enable]
zoom: Zoom in. rarely used
F/A repeated
F/T: fire toggle - a special bind to make my primary trigger constantly fire. I can share bind code; its easy
sensor: opens my sensor log, and is my only PDA button
Activate: duh
Turbo: for when I need to turbo-tap, like when bombing a queen.
Console: Lua terminal. you wont need that button I think
Reverse: because DB cannot create a field with forward AND reverse properly, use a button and rarely use it
Brake: Reverse and brake at the same time doubles your braking power ;)
wave: /me waves to sector chat
Guild: Auto-send my next message to guild chat
Local: Auto-send my next message to sector chat
Reload and DB: the two buttons DB creates. keep them for when things break or need adjustment.
dump: /dump to create a picture of what VO sees. also known as screenshot.
Left circle field: strafe cardinal directions.
Right circle field: turn and pitch.
left flat field: roll. rarely used on mobile, mostly for video recordings.
right flat field: thats my throttle. I have it reversed; bottom is accel, top is to slow down.
All fields are "Relative" and "Non-Linear"
to increase sensitivity on the fields, make them smaller. to decrease sensitivity, make them larger. my device is an 8" tablet.
target: select front target
A/F: Toggle autofire [might have to manually type this command button]
T/T: Turbo Toggle [will have to manually type this command button]
F/A: FLight Assist toggle [flymode toggle?]

Thanks you for this, also sorry if my response took so long. Although I haven't made my setup *that* similar to yours, it definetly helped me improve it on so many aspects! Thanks!
Can you just disable the hud elements you don't want like if you wanted more screen space? Like I play on a 10.1" tablet with an Xbox 1 controller. I don't need the on screen hud for moving my ship because I have a controller. I didn't find anyway to disable but I just wanted to play the game and not mess around in the plethora pf settings.
