... I've been wondering how others do it.
I tried turning the relative mouse control off, and for a while it worked... until I tried PvP with it.
relative ON for mouse users killed an PvP on hotas.
Aiming from rails on mouse is too easy for now, impossible to do on hotas. Just point and shoot like on FPS.
A main function of FA off was hard aiming for skilled players. Now every noob will be ultra skilled with relative ON option on mouse.
After 10 minutes of playing on mouse i am much more efficient than on hotas since three years.
Playing mouse+kb is totally uncool in space combat game for me.
Mouse+kb with relative on FA off is OP, it should be balanced somehow.
So I made a suggestion yesterday that hasn't gotten any replies, and only a few views. I'm wondering how many other PvP oriented full time FA-OFF players have this issue.
In a nutshell, I'd like to have a hold mode button that turns flight assist on rather than off.
I think it would help level the playing field between KB/M pilots and HOTAS users.
Thoughts?

OK, hadn't watched these until just now. In the first video, not only was I dead drunk, but the attacker was an SDC module sniper. I would have lost had I been sober, and you would have mysteriously disappeared had you been in my place. He did shoot out my FSD, and I've seen what you do when that happens...
The second vid has nothing to do with me at all. Though I'm sure someone else out there has video of me doing stupid things in Quince.
I disagree that kb/m with relative on and fa off is op. It takes some seriously steady aim to hit with rails on this type of setup. Maybe the micro-gimballing could be rebalanced... but that would negatively affect everyone. Not just kb/m users. Granted, most of the twitch fps gamers probably find it easier than I do. Still, I don't want to see anything nerfed control-wise. Just a momentary fa-on switch so I don't have to divert any attention from actually flying.

Umm, dude. I'm the OP. Can't fly kb/m worth a rats tail end. I still don't need the mechanic to be nerfed. I just want a bit of common sense applied. I hate being forced into toggle mode.
Take your butt-hurt elsewhere.
You're clearly cheesed off about your poor HOTAS skills. Have a cup of coffee and go practice some more. You'll be able to hit your targets eventually.
I don't think we really disagree much here, it's kind of the point of the thread. I just took issue with calling kb/m OP... I don't think it is. That doesn't mean I don't think we need better options for HOTAS users though. I think an FA-ON hold mode would help balance this. But it's mostly the hardware at fault here. Thanks, by the way, for introducing me to the FSSB R3 Lightning. That's another ~ $1k (I don't have a Warthog yet) I'm going to spend on ED, you jerk.
EDIT: Or not... I miss-read the description and thought that model introduced a twist function to the warthog. I'm not happy with the T1600... Might try a VKB-Sim Gladiator Mk.II if they had them on Amazon (I hate waiting, dangit).
