Unwanted automatic ship acceleration

[hyperion_500]

Just reinstalled after a few months, and migrating to a new comp.

For reasons I can't figure out, when taking off from a landing pad, acceleration is now defaulting to 100% forward thrust, causing an instant faceplant into docking bay walls every time I start flying.

Ship is also defaulting to 100% forward thrust when I open the quick action menu, which complicates things when I'm trying to deploy satellites. I can cope for now, but this is going to get irritating.

I've rechecked that all controls are set to default, keyboard and mouse only. Currently running the beta, is there some configuration I'm missing in the control bindings that would cause this?

use mouse wheel to slowly increase speed?

Pretty sure you might have press the key that set the throttle to 100%

set the controls to default.. if it solve the "problem" you have changed something before :)

Neither of your suggestions would make sense, I would urge you to re-read the post.

The problem is full forward acceleration as soon as the takeoff animation finishes, So the ship is already at a collision point of no return by the time I'm able to press the 'stop engines' button. I don't know why you're suggesting I 'slowly increase speed' since that's irrelevant to the described problem.

As I said, all controls are set to default, so 'the key that set the throttle to 100%' is unbound.

So like I said, I'm not sure what's happening.

Already did that, as stated in the original post.

Well I haven’t experienced what your saying and I assume your pressing something

As when I undock it not automatically at 100 percent

Ok, so if the behavior is only affecting me, and not some new control change I didn't see in the patch notes then it's not a config problem, that helps. I had tried rechecking game integrity and restarting, but that didn't solve the problem. Next stop is to update the drivers.

So this may not be too helpful, but I'm fairly sure I've experienced this once before, a couple years ago now. Whenever I jumped in the ship, it would just take off at full speed. I couldn't slow it down, I'd press stop and it'd go back full blast. I feel like it had something to do with the (Edit: X) key, I don't quite remember... my idea is to screw around with the controls, move around anything that adjusts throttle. Might be a key that's stuck or I don't know.

Had this happening few times. Its quite weird and repeatable after loading, but I hadn't reported this bug back in the day unfortunately. Not sure what causes this. To say I had 2 fighters docked at an Asgard. 1 always take off at full speed and enabled travel mode (no way to exit travel except for leaving pilot seat), 2 behaves absolutely normal.
Its just one example of several incidents at absolutely different situations. My only thought is about landing while in travel mode. I mean, I often use travel mode to bypass dock's area slowing or to "crash" into landing pad of sorts to hasten docking via docking software...

You most likely have another controller like a gamepad or steering wheel or HOTAS that's causing the issue.

It seems I've been able to make the problem go away, at least for now. It was still a problem when I last exited the game, but now that I've updated my GPU drivers and restarted, everything is now operating correctly, that I can tell. Not sure how it would have caused the issue, but for now it's gone.

Take out your wireless transmitter for your wireless controller out, did the trick for me. If not, try taking out any device that inputs a command into your computer, other than the main one you use for navigating the game, such as a mouse and keyboard.

After taking it out, you need to restart the game, otherwise it does not take affect.

I also have this issue, trying the remove wireless dongle trick right now. I will report back.

[GRAFTANKER98]

I can confirm, removing the my wireless Xbox controller dongle does fix this.

This happened years ago when I used to use a Joystick. If you have one, check you acceleration throttle it might be left in the forward position therefore accelerating the ship when you undock and the Joystick controls come alive.

Had my controller plugged in. Thank you :) , I play on mouse and Key
