Using A Profile: The Loadout
Manager
The Loadout Manager is responsible for "programming" the game controllers with profiles. The
Loadout Manager can be used in two ways: manual mode and automatic mode.
A
Loadout
is a set of a profiles that are assigned to the Nostromo game controllers on your
system (one profile for each controller), and an associated game (or really any application).
Loading that game causes the Loadout Manager to automatically load the profiles as you've set
up. The idea is that you may want to have a set of profiles associated with each game you play
and have the system automatically load those profiles for you as you play each game.
Loadouts are built with the Loadout Manager. You assign a profile for each controller, and select
a game to associate this set of profiles with.
Manual Mode
Manual Mode is the simplest way to use the Loadout Manager. In this mode, you directly select
profiles for controllers. You simply open the activator window and select a profile for each
controller it shows.
Automatic Mode
In automatic mode you set up a Loadout for each game. The Loadout Manager then waits for
that game to start, when it does the Loadout Manager loads all the profiles associated with that
loadout.
Automatic mode has a complex initial setup, but once that is done you never need think about it
again. Simply launch the game you want to play and the Loadout Manager makes sure the
controllers are configured the way you want them to be.
