Mapping controls - what is the second box for?

Hi All,

Can someone explain what the second box is used for when mapping bindings?

All my control bindings only seem to use the first box, but the second box to the right of it is empty. What’s it used for?

This is in the Controller Settings, all the bindings have two side by side boxes and the first is used for binding to buttons, keys etc.

Thanks
Geoff

It’s just a secondary binding. An alternative, if you will.

So I can have two buttons for the same function mapped?

If you want. I never found a use for it myself, just a way of tying up another button that could be used for something more useful. :slight_smile:

Thanks. I was struggling to find a use for that. Seems pretty pointless in my opinion.

I agree that it’s pointless if you personally don’t need it. However, there are a lot of different users and use cases.
In my case, I use a gamepad and frequently do STOL flights. I have the brakes mapped to both the left trigger and right trigger so that I can instantly brake when I’m busy maneuvering into tight spaces. So having a secondary control option is not pointless to me.
