Star Citizen 3.23 HOTAS VKB NXT and TWCS Mapping

Here is a Right stick VKB NXT and TWCS Throttle mapping updated from a pre 3.23 version I had to 3.23. It is a mix of several different mappings out there. This one is focused on Vehicle Flight where the right stick is primarily weapon groupings. The left stick is strafe/boost/targeting. I am avoiding using shift buttons in this mapping to reduce complexity, I figured the other ship modes such as salvage and mining could use the keyboard.

I used starjoy to update, view, and export the map, if anyone has a neat way to quickly visualize the button mappings it would be appreciated.

The file share service will keep it up for a bit. If anyone wants to steal it, update it, or repost it feel free.

For visualization, a while back I made this utility : https://github.com/n-prat/sc-keymap-rs (only for VKB NXT, but could add support for other devices like TWCS without too much work).
It requires both:
- the exported mapping from SC
- the VKB config exported from VkbDevCfg
The results look like this https://imgur.com/a/jaVaIrX (one per side)

Note: this is NOT AT ALL user-friendly

I was originally trying to use Buzzzkiller's keybind layout, but it just was horrible for printing due to the black background. So I created a completely new one with a similar layout with GIMP.
