Keyboard control of Yaw and Pitch seems to not work

[Tristfall]

Perhaps I'm missing something, but it appears that custom keyboard entries for Yaw and Pitch don't work.

My workflow was as follows for a simple state:

Delete the ini files GameUserSettings.ini and Input.ini

Start the game

Immediately go into customization of controls and delete all key bindings

(Of note, arrow keys still move the ship at this point, that's probably a bug too, but meh)

Bind A / D to Yaw Left/Right and W / S to Pitch Down/Up

In game, WASD do nothing.



NB: I have noticed that in GameUserSettings.ini, the key bindings are set to axes called "GamepadYaw" and "GamepadPitch"... Perhaps this implies you aren't supposed to bind yaw/pitch when not using a gamepad. If this is the case, I guess this is a feature request.

Yaw/Pitch with WASD will only work if you use check the "centered crosshair" option in controls->keyboard+mouse. Otherwise the ship will always follow the crosshair that is moved with the mouse and ignore other pitch/yaw input.

I don't recommend useing WASD for aiming though, as you will only get digital input and have less accuracy

Hey, Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, been out of town.

So even with "centered crosshair" checked, pitch/yaw still doesn't seem to take input from the keyboard.

Any other ideas?

Sorry, just needed to spend 5 more minutes on it. Somehow I'd gotten myself into a state where no keys were working. After re-deleting the ini files, and checking the box you suggested, it's working now.

So thanks!
