Better Speed Control

About

I didn't like that I could not finely control ship speed with the mousewheel, so I created this mod which changes the mousewheel and the accelerate/decelerate keys to change ship speed by 5% instead of 20%.

If you want to change the value, simply open the parameters.xml file and adapt the value to whatever you want.

Download

Please be aware that you might have to create an account on the Nexus to download NESA. Creating an account is totally free (simply don't check any checkbox during the first step and click "Create Account"), even though you are presented with a choice of support plans (which I encourage you to do, since the site is great and deserves your support).

Installation

Extract and copy the "BetterSpeedControl" folder to the "Steam\steamapps\common\X Rebirth\extensions" folder (create the extensions folder if you don't have it already).

Compatibility

This mod is compatible with all other mods that don't also change the mousewheel/accelerate/decelerate sensitivity.

Uninstallation

Delete the "BetterSpeedControl" folder from the "Steam\steamapps\common\X Rebirth\extensions" folder.

usefull mod. nice work. i will definitely try this.

[Nomenluni]

great idea, will install this one for sure.

I would also really like to be able to match my speed to my current target, would something like this be possible with a keystroke?

yup yup..



and would it be possible to make it so that if you hold down shift it would fine tune engine while normal mouse scroll still tunes 20%?

I like this idea. The 20% is good for times when you need to do rapid speed changes. But holding shift and scrolling for when you need fine control would be awesome.

I changed my "stop ship" key from BACKSPACE to ALT and Iam alrighty...

[Mad_Joker]

Sadly, none of the suggestions about dyncamically changing the granularity are possible to implement right now, and I'm not sure if they ever will be, sorry

I've not downloaded this as I use a controller (no flaming please), but I have assigned the X & Z keys to the controllers D pad to I can fly at different speeds without 1/2 holding down the trigger button.

Does this mod affect those keys, so if I had the value at 10% I need to press D-Up 10 times to max out? If it does... then I will run over and download it!!!

If it's only the mouse wheel, is it possible to make one for the X & Z keys when you "tap" them?

I have just updated the mod to support accelerate/decelerate keys as well, so if you have your D-Pad mapped to X&Z it should work just fine.

Hafe vun!
