Mouse controls

[K.Mak]

I noticed all the streamers seem to be using flight modes where you either hold left click to turn in a direction or have it automatically follow your mouse.

In X3, I had the controls locked to the mouse cursor like how you would fly in a Battlefield game. It made aiming forward guns less flexible but it felt a lot more like a dogfight to me and it's just easier to do transitioning from FPS games.

Does anyone know if this is still possible?

Good question. Mouse controls worked well in X Rebirth and since X4 is based on that I would think the same would apply. But I don’t recall if it had that specific mode.

I need this. Coming from X3 and other reasonably good mouse control games like war thunder this game is a nightmare to play this way as a fighter.

I usually disable the flight assist stuff and use WASD just like a fps, with W and S as throttle controls and rolling with A and D. I really like the space physics in this game and using momentum and throttle to drift around ships. I delegate the strafe controls to Shift+ stuff to get them out of the way, as with this new space mechanic they're unnecessary most of the time.

Egosoft, I understand you get all your feedback from joystick users but I don't think it would be too hard to implement the mechanics that you had in the old game as an option for people who are used to the old style.

Try shift + space mode and see if that's what you need.

It's not, please pay attention.

I agree with u OP. Please, bring back the X3 mouse control as an option to those like me that hate the actual controlling system( the following mouse cursor mode i mean), it's quite game breaking. The moment that u (EGOSOFT) put it back, i will buy the game,if not im sadly out, and i say this as a huge fan of X3.

This. So much this.

Please have an option for X3 mouse control. The right click to toggle flight/cursor mode, the left click to fire (flight mode) or select (cursor mode), etc. was remarkably simple/effective to use, at least for/to me.

I'm hoping there going to get rid of that message that turns up when you press shift + space as its distracting.
