We use HCS Default Keybinds -> Be informed we will stick with HCS Default Keybinds for each update

You should use the SKAfED.binds default ED bindings file.
It will always work with the vap without modification except Axis for HOtAS, Joystick and/or Throttle.
it's a one time job : when updating the VAP, you don't need to mess with this files or ED binding again :

  • Put this file in %localappdata%\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings
  • In ED select this SKAfED bindings and start from there adding your Hotas/Joystick/Throttle Axis

You can keep your existing keybinds from ED and change the keybinds in this VAP
Each time you update the VAP, you will need to redo the VAP Maping :

If you go this way 3 keys need to be the same betwen ED and this VAP

Galaxy Map
System Map
Flight Assist


In this Table, the column Description give you the HCS Crew Member we will give the vocal feedback, If you have only one Crew Member, He/She will give all the vocal feedback
