Newcomer / Intro Keyboard Mouse Custom Settings

[Cmdr Machete]

Greetings, Commanders!

I want to share my preferred settings for keyboard mouse control.
The preconfigured bindings were horrible for me. I was always spinning around in space like a humming top!

Here a screenshot for Mouse Control:

The point here is to set "relative mouse x-axis" to "on" to prevent wild and uncontrollable spinnings.
Pitch or Pitch Inverted? A matter of taste. For me "pitch inverted" is more natural steering a "plane".
In addition you have to find the best correlation between "Deadzone" and "Power Curve".
With some amount in power curve you can fine-steer the ship with slow mouse movements
and quick turns with normal/ fast mouse movements.

After that I bound yaw left/ right to QE and thrust left/ right/ forward/ backward to classic AWSD:

That's all for the moment! I know it's not chart breaking hint, but perhaps it helps someone out there!

Start with the second training mission, change a few controls at a time and practice. Yes binding your keys can be a bind (pun not intended), I took about three hours sorting mine out, but I was using Mouse/Keyboard/Joystick/Voice Attack/ED Tracker/Powergrid.

After all that I no longer use Powergrid, and have slightly modified some bindings that I now find I use more than I initially did such as Shield Cell Bank and Chaff now I've got in to bounty hunting.

Many thanks for this.

I have been so struggling even in the basic combat practice as once things begin happening quickly I find myself so out of control and spinning wildly.

I am now known for masses of patience so having anything that helps reduce the time taken just finding the right setting for me is very useful.
