Due to the complexity of the game, it is worthwhile to watch several of the tutorial videos showing different  aspects of the game.

The PC version of the game simultaneously uses the mouse, keyboard and game controller features of the Quadstick.   The Quadstick must be plugged in before starting the game to be detected.  Once the game has started, go into the Options->Controls settings and select "GENERIC JOYSTICK".   All other settings are assumed to left at their default values.

The configuration has seven mode sheets.  They are:
  • Mouse
  • Flight Roll
  • Flight Yaw
  • Flight Translate
  • Panel Selection
  • Panel Operation
  • Head Look
 
The Mouse mode is used to manage the game and change settings.   The three Flight modes all use the same keyboard bindings and differ only in which axes are controlled by the joystick.   The spaceship cockpit view allows the user to focus on different control panels, which are selected using the Panel Selection mode which then automatically switches to the Panel Operation mode.   Head Look temporarily lets the user look around without changing the heading of the spacecraft.
 
The heart of the configuration are the three Flight modes.  Here is the reference card:
 
 
Since there are a large number of commands, some of the sip/puff hole inputs use short vs long sip/puffs to multiply the number of possible combinations.
