DeviceMapping.xml creator

Run the dxdiag program, either by typing it in to the search box in the start menu, or by clicking Start > Run and typing it in there
Click on the Input tab in dxdiag
Look down the list for your controller

Type the Vendor and Product IDs:

Vendor ID	Product ID

Default to the following keybindings:

…
Open the folder C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Local\Frontier_Developments\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1000\ControlSchemes\
(replace %USER% with your username)
Inside that folder, rename DeviceMappings.xml to DeviceMappings-backup.xml
Download the latest configuration file and copy the new DeviceMappings.xml into the folder
- if you can‘t download that file, try using your existing DeviceMappings.xml. Most of the instructions below will work with most older versions of the file.
Run the notepad program, in the same way you ran dxdiag before
In Notepad, open your new DeviceMappings.xml file
Add in the black line below:
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Root>
								
	<GamePad>
	... leave the other lines in this file alone ...
</Root>
```
Find the line that looks like this:
Add the line in black above that line:
```
	
		...
		<Alternative>		</Alternative>
	
```
Find the line that looks like this:
```
  <PID>....</PID>  <VID>....</VID> 
```
Add the black text immediately before :
```
  <PID>....</PID>  <VID>....</VID> <Alternative>	</Alternative>
```
Some people find long lines of text unattractive. It makes no difference to a computer, but you can use the same formatting as the <GamePad> section near the top of the file if you prefer.
Run the game to make sure it works
If it doesn‘t work, try the following:
1. Open the folder C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Local\Frontier_Developments\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1000\ControlSchemes
2. Copy all the files in that folder
3. Go to C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings
4. Paste the files into the new folder
report your configuration to Frontier - tell them the name of your controller and paste the black text above into your message so Frontier can include it by default
