In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses transitioning from using a keyboard and mouse to using joysticks in Star Citizen for a more immersive experience. Joysticks provide total analog control over thruster outputs, offering gradual and creative movement compared to digital keyboard and mouse controls. The main setup types for joysticks are HOTAS (Hands on Throttle and Stick), HOSAS (Hands on Stick and Stick), and HOSAM. Each setup type allows for binding the six individual ship movements to physical analog axes, providing precise control over pitch, yaw, roll, and strafing. HOTAS uses a throttle and joystick, HOSAS uses dual sticks, and HOSAM involves additional pedals for enhanced control.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses various control setups for piloting ships in Star Citizen. The recommended setup for most pilots is using twist axes on the joystick. Adding pedals can offer two popular configuration options. One setup involves using pedals for roll control, separating it from pitch and yaw control. Another setup involves using the left stick for strafing up and down, with roll control on the twist of the left stick. The “HOSAM” setup involves using a mouse for pitch, yaw, and aiming, with pedals for throttle control. Practice and patience are emphasized to get used to any new control configuration.
