This. There are many ways to steer the SRV while jumping so that you'll land nicely and can continue driving into the right direction immediately.![]()
People in this thread keep alluding to the uncontrollability of the Scarab, and I keep wondering what they are talking about. Seriously. I myself don't see much of a problem. Sure, on low-gravity slippery-ice worlds the SRV spins around more easily and makes longer jumps even on very small bumps, but that feels completely normal to me, and it's quite easy to learn to avoid it. Just watch what's ahead of you and drive accordingly. It's not like it's extraordinarily unrealistic. You can't expect a vehicle to behave the same on a 0.05g moon than it does on 1g.Seriously, there should be a toggle to make the drive assist on like the user friendly version and the DA off the hot mess it is now for the racing junkies.
They should really think beyond their very niche group to the broader population before stamping their feet and leveraging their personal rep to get a revert to the "good old days" of sloppy handling.
Is this a question of controller vs. mouse&keyboard? Is this difference caused by the input device you are using? Are people who are finding the SRV almost uncontrollable using keyboard&mouse?

There's a material problem at the moment yes, that isn't a Scarab problem.So you need a video of the scarab getting launched by mats? Or how about driving over those rocks without feathering your boost?
Drive-Assist off is definitely the key.Nope.
I use kb/m and DA Off and i have no issues (W/S accelerate/decelerate, A/D steer left/right plus roll left/right, X handbrake, mouse vertical axis as pitch while flying the srv)
Sure, when i was playing on the XB, the controller was a bit more comfortable to play with due to analog triggers/sticks, but kb/m is perfectly fine

I would recommend considering getting a game controller to play the game overall (I recommed the Xbox One controller). It's so much nicer to play with it. You can have the keyboard in front of you for additional keybinds if you need them, so it's not like you are losing a lot.
I think a mixed approach could be perfectly possible: Mouse&keyboard in combat, controller everywhere else. It's not like they are mutually exclusive.i did play on XB more than 3000 hours using an XB Elite Controller.
Nice experience, nice controls, but i really lacked aim finesse - i was never really able to have any sort of decency with fixed weapons and i was struggling even more when FA Off was involved.
That's why when i got my first PC account, i decided to keep with kb/m even tho i was struggling at first, but now i can at least use fixed weapons, and FA Off is not that scary anymore.
I'm not really sure anymore, but I think it was the exact opposite to the ships: DAoff in SRV was my standard go to and I basically didnt use the other mode.
That was dreadful, Alec...
i never tried to mix them both...I think a mixed approach could be perfectly possible: Mouse&keyboard in combat, controller everywhere else. It's not like they are mutually exclusive.
I can only say its easy so the problem is with "YOU" get realDriving the scarab is the most unenjoyable thing you could ever imagine. As if the developer though what vehicle could we bring to land on planets that is the most non suitable for planets? The Scarab! It will bump into the smallest rubble and turn wildly to any direction it feels like. It will sometime luch utself to the air just because a little curve on the road says so. Unless you are driving on a flat highway it will be a pain.
Now seriously, this is a nightmare, I see more and more posts on how Elite developers never play their game, while this is of course absurd the driving of the Scarab really feels this way.
Also please don't tell me to drive the other Vehicle, it doesn't have radar. Why on earth would I explore an alien planet without a radar?
FAOff doesn't smooth the input, so it's been a horrible fight with the stick. Good to boost axis input for a very short time but for normal I found it uncontrollable and I never bothered finding 3rd party tools to remedy that. I used it just on demand for faster pitching.Precisely this
I drive the SRV in DA OFF all the time,
but,
i fly my ships mostly in FA ON (FA Off very rarely, basically only when soloing interceptors but not even then 100%)
And i always thought DA OFF was really counter intuitive in effects![]()
