Jet Ski flips/tricks during Island escape

[Xandão]

How to perform them on PC/keyboard? I have so far been unable to. I guess you could call this an easter egg or secret of sorts.

On the PS2, if I'm not mistaken, the command it was L1 + R1 + left/right for a barrel roll, and L1 + R1 + backwards for a backflip. I have tried the equivalent keys on this version without success. It's got to be doable without a pad, right?

Anyone? I'm about to conclude my Pro run and I'd like to know the trick commands before I reach the jet ski part. It's annoying to reattempt because the closest possible save is before Saddler.

maybe with the QTE keys? (X+C by default?)

[Xandão]

Didn't work. Tried M1+M2+direction as well. No luck.

If you do find out: please post something here.

Thanks!

I'd like to know this as well. I did a lot of research and found nothing for the Steam Version. I tried pressing both X+C and M1+M2, but none of them worked. Unless I have to press on very specific moments.

Anyone figured this out yet?

Still no luck. But it might be that I didn't press it right so you guys can try.

We know that if using controller, press L1+R1 and down or left/right for backflip / Left Roll / Right Roll.

I tried Shift+F+S
Shift = ready knife (L1)
F = Call Ashley (R1)
S = back move (in order to do a backflip?)

The easiest still is 'Do this using controller', I guess.

I also tried Delete+Page down.
Delete/Page down = rotate items in inventory (R1)

And I also tried Shift+F+Delete+Page down+S
Also not work. Or it could be that my PC can't take in more than 2-3 keys at once, and the tricks may need 5 or 6 keys to be pressed.

Haha, I'll pass for now.

If someone can do these tricks using keyboard, that someone is a hero.

Been working on adding keyboard support for the jet-ski tricks to re4_tweaks, seems the code for it was only setup for using gamepad...

There's a build linked at https://github.com/nipkownix/re4_tweaks/issues/158#issuecomment-1088311559 which should enable it by holding LMOUSE+RMOUSE while going over a jump, would appreciate hearing from anyone that tries it out!

Just to help those in need, of assistance, if not wanting to modify game files, and would rather do a remap workaround, I finally found a keyboard to controller remapping that works on windows 11.

The install instructions are here, install JoystickGremlin and Vjoy basically:
https://whitemagic.github.io/JoystickGremlin/overview/

then, remap whatever key you use to interact/pickup/examine, to the 1/A/X button on the Vjoy controller. It's pretty much as easy as re-maping keys in a game just with an extra step.

Also, had to do a one-time setup on steam settings the very first time VJoy connected for me, just make sure to remap something to B(or equivalent layout) as well, or use the Vjoy Feeder program to send it, after that, steam allows skipping of the rest of buttons.

but when it's all said and done, now my F key is recognized as both F and the 1/A/X button on a controller.

bout to go flip some jet skis, know its working cuz when moving the cabinet on the catwalk, it shows "X" rather than "F" :D

EDIT: Works like a charm, keep in mind it's not WASD, you gotta hold F and flick the mouse while in mid-air. did spins and backflips no prob.
