When I started playing, I was really struggling with the default controls for mouse and keyboard! If you're also feeling the controls are not working for you, feel free to try this out:
I got this setup from several other commanders, but don't know their names anymore (sorry!). Let me know if this helped and fly safe!
- Mouse X-axis: YAW
- Relative Mouse X Axis: OFF
- Relative Mouse Y Axis: OFF
- Roll Left: Q
- Roll Right E
- Thrust left: A
- Thrust Right: D
- set +100% throttle to mouse wheel up, and +50% throttle to mouse wheel down (make sure to bind it to + speed and not - speed) , to allow you to flip/flop easily between max and optimal turning speed.
- bind FAON/OFF to a thumb key, and use it when you want to make tight turns. A combination of +50% throttle, pitch up + thrust down with FA turned off can result in some very tight turns. Hit afterburner as you come out of the turn and you get back up to speed in no time.
