Contributing¶
This page is for advanced users who want to help improve the bleeding-edge binds between stable releases.
Reporting a binding or chart issue¶
You don't need to be a contributor to flag a problem. If something about a specific stick's binds or chart is wrong, open an issue on that stick's own repository — each stick lives in its own repo under the Subs-Curated-Bindings org, so the report lands where the files actually are.
| Stick | Open an issue |
|---|---|
| VKB Gladiator NXT EVO | New issue |
| Thrustmaster SOL-R 2 | New issue |
| VKB Gunfighter (SCG grip) | New issue |
| Virpil VMAX + Aeromax-R | New issue |
| MOZA MTQ + MHG | New issue |
Each stick's own docs page links to the same tracker with a short report template pre-filled.
Good issues — things that aren't right about the binds themselves:
- A bind feels missing. Say what action you want and where on the chart you'd expect it to live. If it makes sense, it may get added in a future update.
- The chart doesn't match the game. The chart shows one thing but the bind does another — or nothing.
Not issues — setup and usage:
- Installing or loading a profile, Swap Devices, blank binds, vJoy errors, axis inversion → work through the Setup Guide. If you're still stuck, ask in Discord — that's faster than an issue, and it keeps the trackers focused on bind accuracy.

Who Should Contribute¶
- Users comfortable troubleshooting Joystick Gremlin and Star Citizen control profiles
- Testers willing to validate changes after patch updates
- Community members who want to submit fixes or quality-of-life improvements
Contribution Workflow¶
- Sync to the current patch baseline
- Clear old Joystick Gremlin and Star Citizen binds
- Apply latest repository profile and XML files
- Test controls in practical flight/combat scenarios
- Open a GitHub issue or pull request with findings/changes
What Makes a Great Report¶
- Joystick hardware and firmware version
- Star Citizen build/patch number
- Which profile/files were used
- Repro steps
- Expected behavior vs actual behavior
- Suggested adjustment (if known)
Pull Request Guidance¶
- Keep PRs focused and small when possible
- Clearly describe what changed and why
- Include before/after behavior for control changes
- Reference related issue IDs when applicable
