    Freelancer A.pin counter: 277
  3. Then import the profile into PGP and play!
    click 'open' from the download popup, or double-click the saved .pin file
    (NOTE: you can also use the 'import' button in the PGP software instead)

This is an absolute gem of a game. Was surprised that nobody had made a profile for this already, as it's considered something of a classic...at least among space sim fans like myself. Come to think about it, there aren't very many profiles for space sims in general. Maybe because they're less popular altogether?

Anyway, here's a profile I made that worked very nicely. You can do basically everything from the controller, no keyboard/mouse necessary. Left bumper is the shift key, as I do with all my profiles. There is no roll for this game unfortunately, so right stick is consigned to throttle up/down. Check the thumbnail, post here if you have any questions. Enjoy!
