The ship and SRV controls are almost entirely keyboard with the mouse just for headlook and camera. The on foot controls are optimized for [my 20-year plus experience with first-person shooters](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1vCPftpeq0).

Note that I play Odyssey exclusively now so while I try to keep the Horizons controls in sync with any changes from Odyssey, this is not guaranteed.

# Installation

Place in ```C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings```

Note that the game won't recognize the new controls if it's already running, so do this before you start the game or restart it if it's already running.

# Controls

As of Odyssey, controls are split into four top level categories:

1. [General controls](#general-controls)

2. [Ship controls](#ship-controls)

3. [SRV controls](#srv-controls)

4. [On foot controls](#on-foot-controls)

Note that each category can be assigned a different control scheme.
