Hard Vacuum Update 3 Hotfix

Nov 25, 2020

Greetings!

A hotfix to update 3 is now live.

Bindings for the HP Reverb G2 controllers have been added
Vive Cosmos controllers should now work correctly
Objects you can grab (joysticks, throttles, etc) now orient themselves based on the initial position/rotation of the controller rather than the absolute position/rotation.

Controls

Please tell me this isnt going to be just motion controls only. The hold the imaginary flight stick is always terrible. Is this going to have HOTAS and controller support as well?

How are you Index Controller guys doing with the steering?

Because man I am having a hard time controlling the ship haha, couldn't get trough the tutorial yet. Do I just need to give it more practice? The problem for me is that you have no idea when your controller is at zero, there is no feedback and you are moving your hand to all sides because it is not mounted to a place....

Thrustmaster HOTAS X throttle not working?

In the tutorial mission when told to throttle up, game does not respond to throttle controls. I set ‘throttle up’ and ‘throttle down’ instead of axis, throttle up works but then throttle gets stuck at max and throttle down doesn’t work even tho it let me map it that way. Has the game been tested with HOTAS X? Any ideas on how to fix this? I really want to play this game......

Good luck!

I have high hopes for this project. A mix of Rogue System and VTOL VR. Please don't abandon this game...it looks like it has a lot of potential!
