Docking clearance

Post by Cody »

Could the Request Clearance (L) thingy be added to the joystick thingy? Been meaning to ask for ages!
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

To be honest, I'd like to see ALL the keyboard commands to be mappable to joystick buttons.
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

There are a few others I could think of (select cargo to eject, for example), but all of 'em? One by one, perhaps!

Well, the point is, you don't necessarily want to map them all to a stick, but the ability to pick and choose for yourself what you want mapped, rather than being limited to only the ones the game permits, would be nice.
