Hello, I bought a 360 controller for flying helis and planes in ARMA 2 OA. I do however have some trouble deciding where to bind what keys.

My current set up is:
Left/Right trigger: Decrease/Increase thrust (Not the "Thrust/Break (Analogue)" ones. Don't even know what's so special about them.)
Left/Right shoulders: Pedals
Start/Select button: Scroll options
D-pad: Look around
Left stick X-axis: Bank left/right
Left stick Y-axis: Pitch up/down
Left stick button: Perform marked action.

Not using the right stick for anything atm, I can't use it for looking since ARMA 2 doesn't (to my knowledge) recognise things like: "Down-left" and "Up-right" when looking around with a stick.

As for A,B,X,Y I'm having it like this:

A: Fire
B: Countermeasures
X: Cycle weapons
Y: Switch target.

Please give me your thoughts, tips and/or controller setups.

You don't even have to use a 360 controller. Please share your setups, I really want to try some out. : )

right stick: Bank and Pitch
left stick: pedals
left trigger/shoulder: increase/decrease thrust
right trigger/shoulder: fire/switch target
d-pad: scroll options (i don't need it for looking arround because i use track ir)
button 1: cycle weapons
button 2: reset look (track ir)
button 3: countermeasures
button 4: fire order(for AI gunners)
button 9: TS3
button10: activate/deactivate track ir

the gamepad is a little different so the bindings too... i hope it helps you anyway
