The Original Control Method and a total time played counter

[Octavious]

Has anyone else set up their joystick so it mimics the original. ie forward/back for up/down and rotate (or left/right) to spin, and no other axis.

Coming straight off of Oolite this seemed most natural for me. I wonder if their are advantages to the new control methods though.

Also I wish there was a total time played counter like in the beta's. I often wonder how long I spent playing the original Elite, and would like to know how many hours I am putting into Elite Dangerous, just with the Beta's I clocked up 130 hours.

Nope! When I first played the missions I set up my joystick wrong so that it was digital. Which was very much like an Amiga joystick, just as I used to love.
New controls are vastly superior, other than in accessibility to new players - which was much better in the older games.
