Requesting no auto-center option, with a key to auto-center the wheel

So from realism stand point, it would make no sense for the wheel to stay where you left it after you've left the helm.
but while you're still actively piloting a ship, yeah, that might make a lot of sense.

well actually the rudder is not really a rudder it is the differential power of the two steering engines that control turning. However, i am in favor of the current mechanism for steering. It is just more familiar to people and is part of what keeps the game accessible. if you want to go left you press left, when you want to stop going left you stop pressing left. its what anybody who has played any PC game before will be used to. might not be the most realistic or allow the most advanced maneuvers but I just dont see the problem with that.

Exactly what's on my mind.
knoxi:
... how bout a nice simple button press to lock the wheel in place? Add in an animated lever on the wheel and a green locked wheel icon over the helm as per the damage indicators and no one would ever know it was an after thought.
Any small additions to expand the role gameplay and learning curve are probably going to be good imo and potentially increase longevity.
Audie Murphy:
Knoxi got it right. Spot on.
It'll also increase the skill cap at the same time as it evens out the learning curve. Win-win.
