Hello KSP forums!

Today I bring you about 6 hours of work- that is- the configuration files for a nearly-seamless Kerbal Space Program using a Dualshock 4 (PS4) Controller! YAY!

v1.0 I guess..

(please read the whole thing BEFORE doing anything)

~~Introduction~~

Configuring a Dualshock 4 for use in a PC game that only just barely supports controllers is a real pain, so I've taken the liberty of carefully crafting the InputMapper profile (KSP.xml) as well as the KSP settings (settings.cfg) to take away the guesswork on establishing a baseline setup for using the DS4 in KSP with the InputMapper program. The benefits of using a DS4 for KSP should be clear- using the trackpad as a mouse and the control sticks for more precise control of your craft is just great! Please feel absolutly free to post your modifications to either file, I'm posting this code under creative commons open-source style- hack away! :P

~~Installation~~

[mind the directions above the sections of code to get the required files]

1. Buy, install, and run Kerbal Space Program (32-bit version) at least once.

2. Acquire a Dualshock 4 controller along with the appropriate USB cable to allow PC connection.

3. Download, install, and run InputMapper (link below) at least once.

4. Make sure your DS4 works on your setup.

5. Navigate to C:\Users\~yourprofile~\AppData\Roaming\InputMapper\Profiles ("~yourprofile~" will be your windows profile name).

6. Drag and drop KSP.xml from the InputMapper Profile folder into the aforementioned Profiles folder of your InputMapper directory.

7. Navigate to your KSP install root directory.

8. Replace the stock settings.cfg file in your KSP directory with the settings.cfg file in the KSP Controls folder.

9. Plug in your DS4.

10. Run InputMapper and switch the profile to KSP. (easy enough to set InputMapper to switch to the KSP profile when it's launched)

11. Run KSP. (I have the graphical settings maxed @ 1920x1080 so before doing so you may need to run Launcher.exe from the KSP install folder and tweak the graphical settings)

12. Check if everything works fine, then-

13. Go directly to space! (or stay in the atmosphere, both are fine)

~~Notes On The Controls~~

- I edited a hidden control that allows you to switch the UI Mode between Docking and Staging using the left and right analog stick buttons.

- Messing with the axis controls in the settings menu of KSP is not recommended aside from sensitivity changes (IE DON'T CHANGE THE BINDINGS FROM THE MENU IN GAME), messing with the sensitivity is fine though.

- If you MUST change the axis bindings, edit the settings.cfg file in notepad to make sure the modeMask lines don't change, as that provides isolation between your Docking and Staging control modes.

- Feel free to change any of the primary button controls, as I only used the secondary bindings for the controller, the primaries are the default KSP settings with one tweak so that me the camera controls don't also control your camera.

- Editing the InputMapper profile is perfectly fine if you don't touch the bindings on the first tab.

- I would recommend backing up these files first if you are going to make any changes.

- Although this is a very comprehensive configuration, I would still recommend that you use a mouse+keyboard for menus and ship assembly, and you'll have to use at least a mouse for camera controls.

~~Summary of Controls~~

Left Trigger - Toggle RCS

Right Trigger - Toggle SAS

Left Shoulder Button - Hold SAS

Right Shoulder Button - Stage

D-pad Up - Linear Throttle Increase

D-pad Down - Linear Throttle Decrease and apple Brakes

D-pad Left - Throttle Full Cut

D-pad Right - Throttle Maximum

Share Button - IVA Switch

Trackpad Movement - Curcor Movement

Trackpad Tap - Left Mouse Button

Trackpad Scroll - Scroll Wheel

(Swipe up or down with 2 fingers)

Trackpad Button - Orbital View Switch

Options Button - Menu

Triangle Button - Time Warp Faster

Circle Button - Landing Gear

X Button - Camera Mode Switch

Square Button - Time Warp Slower

Right Analog Up - [staging Mode]- Pitch Down

[Docking Mode]- Translate Down

Right Analog Down - [staging Mode]- Pitch Up

[Docking Mode]- Translate Up

Right Analog Left - [staging Mode]- Yaw Left

[Docking Mode]- Translate Left

Right Analog Right - [staging Mode]- Yaw Right

[Docking Mode]- Trandlate Right

Right Analog Button - Switch To Staging Mode

Playstation Button - Toggle Lights

Left Analog Up - [Docking Mode]- Translate Forward

Left Analog Down - [Docking Mode]- Translate Backward

Left Analog Left - [staging Mode]- Roll Left

Left Analog Right - [staging Mode]- Roll Right

Left Analog Button - Switch to Docking Mode

I don't even remember the specific controls for kerbals, but the D-pad moves them and I loosely used modified translation controls for the EVA pack among some other miscellaneous controls.

On that note, be careful EVA-ing Kerbals because I know the board/ let go controls overlap the time warp controls, but it's survivable.

Sorry if this isn't exactly an Add-On, but I felt it belongs here.

Now PC players of KSP can feel like they're playing KSP on PS4, but in reality, they're really playing on PC!

In all seriousness however, that is absolutely astounding. It's a brilliant idea and I can't believe nobody did it earlier.

It's really a shame that my only working PlayStation is a PS2 Slimline with two Dualshock 2 controllers :(. If I had a DS4 I would certainly use this. I will recommend it to my non-forum-goer-friends.

Thank you very much for your support! :)

Amazing how many views this has gotten in one day!

There are a few threads floating around about configuring other more standard controllers to work with KSP, but I really found nothing for my DS4, so I decided to assist others making the same endeavor because the DS4 really is a different beast than most controllers in terms of configuration.

Hopefully I can keep this thread updated with changes I make because to my standards, this is still an unfinished project.

On that note, I do need help with a few things I can't quite wrap my head around, such as:

-I would like to find a way to make multi-button bindings in KSP to improve controller functionality.

-Having the camera control (which is absent in the current setup) to be the default use for the track pad would be nice, preferably with a method to switch back to cursor mode easily for those fiddly UI buttons (especially in modded KSP).

-I tried for a long time to get the throttle controls on the triggers, but KSP likes triggers to act like buttons for now, as well as the problem of having throttle up and throttle down being on the same axis.

thanks for this :D

I would definitely like to enjoy using this!

I would like to point out though that the way you have it set up for autolaunch in the input mapper profile is for people who've bought it on steam. I had to go in and change it to the location of my ksp directory, and also rename it to ksp_x64. I know this is an old post and idk if there's a newer one so I'd recommend adding this to your post, to avoid confusion :wink: 

the only controls that have worked for me are the dpad and touchpad controls, the rest I had to manually add in on the input mapper software.

good start though :D
