Updated for Pioneer Alpha 27-28 and up new key layout.
Version 5.0 of my custom printable Pioneer key template for Logitech's 3D Pro
(neutral backround color version in archive link at the bottom of posting)
A link to my logitech 3DPro controller layout file if you don't have one already made:

Pioneer supports simultaneous use of multiple mouse/keyboard and Analog flight controls.
Note: This Joystick profile is meant to be use in addition to existing keyboard and mouse
inputs, and is in not meant as a replacement.
This profile was created to take advantage of the three flight control modes supported
by Pioneer (Keyboard, Mouse & Analog Joystick). Xpadder will enable or emulate either
of these modes via the programed joystick Emulation Mode Button - allowing the user
the ability to toggle between each mode freely durring gameplay ie:
Joystick WASD flight control
Joystick Mouse Emulation flight control
Joystick Analog flight control
User Instructions: Please read first.
If either of the 3 modes are activated or exited from improperly
- the profile may fail to work correctly.
This profile is a work in progress. Also due to Pioneer's Alpha state some game keys
may change in later versions.
This profile was designed and tested for Pioneer Spacesim Alpha25.
Unless a major interface rewrite occurs, this profile should remain valid for current
release versions of Pioneer.
As part of my own control suite I have customised my mouse settings using X-Mouse,
so this profile does not include any Xpadder mouse settings support.
(as a ref there is a pic with my extra mouse functions to customize your own)

Version 5.0 no longer includes the G13 profile (you will have to download that component from the 3.0 version.)

Extreme 3D Pro Control Modes:
The 3 joystick control modes can be changed in game using the Emulation Mode switch.
DEFAULT MODE -
Mouse emulation or Keyboard Joystick (joystick must be OFF in game menu)
In default mode you can easily toggle between mouse and keyboard emulation mode by
simply a press of the Emulation Mode button.
SECOND MODE -
Mouse emulation or Analog Joystick (joystick must be ON in game menu)
Once you enable the analog mode (hold in joystick trigger then press the Emulation Mode
button) you can now easily toggle between mouse emulation and Analog mode by simply
pressing the Emulation Mode button while the trigger is depressed.
-----------------------------
IMPORTANT Whenever entering or exiting analog mode the game config screen will appear.
Enabling analog mode: (Joystick option should be disabled by default and only enabled for
that period when analog function is desired durring flight -
Otherwise it should remain DISABLED - or other joystick modes will fail to work properly)
-----------------
For analog stick function to work you must have the Joystick option in pioneer's controls
config screen enabled and the pitch roll and yaw readings should look like this:
Pitch -JoyO Y Axis
Roll JoyO X Axis
Yaw JoyO 3 Axis
(if not move the stick around until you get the same axis assignments)
Each time the analog mode is enabled - you should confirm these axis have not changed.
Disabling Analog mode and re-enabling default control mode 1
-ie: Joystick ASWD mode emulating keypresses.
Simply press the Emulation Mode button (without depressing the trigger) Then make sure
to disable the analog joystick option in Pioneer's controls screen.
These screens are from the 3.0 version but will give you 'some' idea of the layout - without the new key changes.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Joystick Drift and Centering:
(critical for proper analog joystick performance)
Be sure to have your joystick well calibrated to eliminate ALL drift issues.
If Joystick drift persists, you can edit Pioneer's "analog" joystick deadzone via
editing Pioneer's config file (in C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\Pioneer\config.ini with
Notepad++ Try changing the Joystick setting to: JoystickDeadzone=0.3
(This setting varies from user to user depending on age & wear on the joystick)
Increasing this number increases the size of the deadzone.
Failing all the above, means it's time for a new joystick.
------------------- Quick Run Through--------------------------
To enter Analog mode - Make sure you are in keyboard emulation mode(default) hold in
the trigger - then hit the Emulation Mode button.The game config screen will pop up to
prompt you to enable the joystick option in game. once enabled you must confirm the
axis settings are correct: Pitch -JoyO Y Axis, Roll JoyO X Axis, Yaw JoyO 3 Axis.
Only then will your stick be in proper working analog mode -
To go directly to mouse emulation mode from analog joystick mode, simply hold the
trigger button in while pressing the Emulation Mode button.
So long as you hold in the trigger you can toggle back and forth between analog and
mouse emulation modes via the Emulation Mode button.
To toggle back to default keyboard emulation mode you can press the Emulation Mode
button (without pressing the joystick trigger) and you will again get the game config
screen to disable the analog function - once done you will be in the default keyboard mode.
To go directly to mouse emulation mode from keyboard mode, simply press the Emulation
Mode button (without pressing the joystick trigger).
Future Updates:
Some controls are the same on all teirs (mostly the joystick base keys) These may gain
other functions over time, depending on their usefulness.
In addition there are still 2 unused teirs, so there is lots of room for the profile to evolve.
