set up flight controls to be more like star citizen?

[MrWiggly [TLS]]

I came to this looking for a more complete game then what SC has to offer, but i find the flight controls in this game to be really clunky.

i have only tried the basic flight training, but even after binding roll to a/d and pitch and yaw to the mouse, the ♥♥♥♥ just feels heavy and hard to fly.

i dont get that in SC is there a way to clean up the flight controls?

because at this point i either feel like keep playing and hope the better ship fly smoother, or just hit the refund button and buy somthing ill enjoy more.

You've played 0.2 hours, no offence but this isn't a "pick up and play" arcade game like "some" space games. it takes time and practice to learn how to control your ship.

Give it a few hours at least

What ship is it? Some are a lot more agile than others...

Forget yaw. It's very slow. Roll and pull back to turn.

Also be aware of the sweet spot, the prime turning speed indicated by the little bar next to your velocity indicator. When you're at the sweet spot, pulling the stick back and hitting the boost button will make you turn very fast.

It's not good enough to just have your throttle in that position, you've got to give your ship a mo to match the velocity with the throttle (FA on), or you've got to match it yourself with reverse thrust (FA off).

Full pips to engines also helps a little, as does the class of your engine and other internal components (B grade is excessively heavy and bad for handling).

Also, rebind the controls to suit you. I've probably spent more than an hour reconfiguring my controls, then doing again, then tweaking a few bits, then tweaking some other bits and so on (I keep thinking of ways to make it better, then have to relearn them but hey ho).

The ships in this game control like planes on earth.

Every other space game controls like SC.

So, act like you're flying a jet in Battlefield (albeit with lateral/vertical thrusters) and you'll do it just fine.

That, or turn flight assist off, and become an elite pilot.

Thats false they arent like planes, take off flight assist and u will see :D Flightassist on = like planes Flightassist off = like space ships which physics
