Elite Dangerous: Thrustmaster T.Flight v2

Created in 2021, I now have a VR headset so I'd prefer less functionality bound to the keyboard.
I'd also like to keep closer to the defaults, if possible.

• to scan, equip scanner, and trigger
• to supercruise, retract landing-gear, hardpoints, .., navigate outside of large object's gravitational field, target the system, throttle up and B4.

Joystick inputs are not mapped the same under linux as under windows.
Unfortunately, this means a lot of rebinding...

curiously, many of these presets were correct - but needed rebinding anyways..

miscellaneous:
  reset HMD orientation: F2

flight rotation:
  yaw axis:   (turn joystick) # regular

flight thrust:
  lateral thrust axis:  j-rocker  # regular
  thrust up:     j9
  thrust down:   j10

interface mode:
  next panel tab:  j-rocker right
  prev panel tab:  j-rocker left
