Hi another_commander.. any thoughts or progress or out-right refusals on this? Can the mouse be configured to yaw with left and right movements? Not at the moment. It may be tricky enabling it to yaw, although to be honest I have not looked at that part of the code lately, so I may be wrong on that....

Ah.. curiosity sated. Thanks.

About Ad Astra. The planet engine is ok but I don't like the ships and fighting. True.. all a bit strange.. but you gotta love those planets. Im not much of a fighter so I like having the freedom to roam hither and thither just snapping screenshots. I was thinking some planet-side monuments like th...

Mouse control in a window can be problematic, because the game window does not capture the mouse (and I am glad that it does not), so it is easy to click out of the window and cause it to lose focus. So mouse control in window is not really recommended. Having said that, you may want to give a try ...

Ah.. thanks for the mention of logs (PS love the concept of latest and previous.log). I had also (remapped the fire key to the space bar, but did not remark it properly: key_fire_lasers = 32; "a"; so the log reads: [plist.parse.foundation.failed]: Failed to parse ../AddOns/Config/keyconfig...

Ah.. that makes perfect sense.

And if I think hard about it, I could have simply spun my ship around, looked out the rear and pushed forwards a tad.

Space travel can be so awkward sometimes.

Having said that, you may want to give a try to tomorrow's nightly build Thanks.. will check it out tomorrow. Shouldn't this be AddOn s \keyconfig.plist? If it does not work, try making a Config folder under AddOns and putting the keyconfig.plist in there. Yes.. I first copied it into AddOns then f...

Can you go backwards?

I went up close to an asteroid and wanted to just move back slightly.. but I could not go negative speed by pressing the 'S' key as I had expected.

Can this be done?

The best part of Freelancer was: Flying through those large asteroid shards - all dust and lightning and tall-thin vertical chunks of rock to dodge. Also the tractor beam was a hoot seeing those lighting bolts zap out and grab the debris. The mouse flight controls were excellent and made dog-fights ...

Hi guys, Im posting this here as its a suggestion unless someone can tell me how to do it with the current configs etc.. Can the mouse be configured to yaw with left and right movements? oolite is looking absolutely fabulous these days (last checked it out several years ago and was a very decent Eli...
