What is adaptive steering?

[Coykoi]

I see lots of people saying they don't use it for joysticks but what is it?

that's mouse thing. If you move your mouse all the way left, should it "steer" to the left (like FPS) or "roll" to the left (like an airplane)? "Adaptive steering" means it does both at once. And what it does more depends on what ship you are flying and its yew and roll values.

It works well for mouse after a while.

You don't want that for joystick as you expect 100% roll when you move it all left. If you want to steer you twist it (or both at once if you wish, but not automatics).

Huh it doesnt seem to work.

If using combat thrusters you always want to turn up or down. This means you want to be a roll of 90 degrees when turning.
