No independent roll and yaw, what?

[Exigeous]

I've been following Everspace for a long while but have been waiting for VR support to be added. Now that it's there and the game is out I decided to give it a try only to see that it doesn't have HOTAS support, which is pretty criminal. No worries, I'll setup x360ce and use that to emulate a controller with my HOTAS which worked perfectly.

Then I get in game only to find that you can't roll and yaw at the same time. What? This is a 6 DOF space shooter and I can't roll and yaw simultaneously? You choose either roll or yaw for your primary right stick input (which of course should be roll) then to use the other you press a modifier key and now that stick becomes the other, say yaw. If you're a HOTAS pilot you're likely used to, you know, flying with standard flight controls. As such this will drive you crazy, after about 2 minutes I started searching to figure out what I was doing wrong to learn that it was nothing - the game just doesn't allow it.

Minutes later I was pounding the refund button. Such a disappointment. I suppose if you're on a couch with an Xbox controller this might be fun. But with a full HOTAS/VR setup it's a huge disappointment, personally I'll just go back to my old favorite, Elite Dangerous. Amazing VR and HOTAS support.

Hey there! We will add HOTAS support and completely rebindable controls with the next patch, probably at the end of this month! You'll be able to assign roll and yaw independantly then.

That's very good to know, I refunded the game due to this but will give it another try when that patch comes out.

Sweet!!! Can't wait to get back into this game. Its so much fun, but I havn't played since I started flying dual sticks in other games. kb+m just doesnt do it for me. This will be a blast with joysticks.

+1 - I'm too used to the realistic flight controls from Elite to go back to some kind of arcade style. I enjoy arcade shooters but want real controls.
