Currently, flight assist does two things: it corrects your rotational movement - yaw, pitch, roll - which I will call Rotation Flight Assist, and it corrects your momentum, which I will call Momentum Flight Assist. At the moment however they both fall under Flight Assist as a single mechanic. But I will refer to their effect by these separate names.
At the moment, disabling Flight Assist disables both forms of Flight Assist. This is something of a problem for most players because in order to gain the benefits of disabling Momentum Flight Assist (that benefit being that you can maintain momentum while changing facing direction; when Flight Assist is on, you will lose momentum if you turn) they must also lose the benefits of Rotation Flight Assist, and aiming will become very difficult, especially with Mouse and Keyboard.
What I am requesting is that an option be made available in the controls to always keep Rotation Flight Assist on, even when in Flight Assist off mode, such that the Toggle Flight Assist key would only be toggling Momentum Flight Assist.
This would allow players who are interested, to gain the benefits of retaining aiming/rotation assistance while retaining momentum when turning. Presumably, flying this way would not provide the lower heat that full Flight Assist Off does, which seems like a reasonable tradeoff.
Additionally it would not negatively impact players who prefer to fly with no Flight Assist at all, as it would only be an option.
Thank you for your time. I hope you will consider this suggestion.
