Aviation controls for the joystick + throttle

(1/2) > >>

Battlewrath:
Hello there!

Simply put, the throttle does not work as intended, I feel, on my joy stick set up I have a throttle control, with a 180% axis (0% being pulled back fully, 180% being fully pushed forward.)

For the activation of throttle down, you need to bring it to 0%, that then reduced the throttle down one gear

A better system would be from 90% to 0% bringing it from the first rewind gear then second, 90% being neutral and then pushing forward should change to first forward gear at 135% and second forward gear at 180%.

In short, it needs to be a analogue system rather than fully a key press system.

I hope that

Uh, then what happens if you jump off helm? Doesnt the joystick then not feel unfitting?

BlackenedPies:
I think the throttle is intentional. Being able to immediately change between full forward and backwards is an essential pilot skill which would be too easy with joystick control. The game doesn't feel like it's meant to be played on joystick. Like Craf pointed out it's likely that as pilot you will leave helm on some ships and the joystick won't do any good there. It's best to get used to a keyboard mouse set up.

You need to be able to use your movement, voice, throttle, and number keys simultaneously. The best throttle keys I've found are the mouse buttons or side mouse buttons because you have to click fast as possible. I use shift and ctrl as voice keys and C as map. My 1234 keys are Alt, mouse3, mouse4, Q. Alt is chem spray or default (gun/helm) and Q is hydro/spyglass.

Battlewrath:
Simply put the devs support the use of joy stick - it's allready in the game.

Crafeksterty:
But not a throttle.
