The game show the keybindings in German

Post by Enotor »

When I hover the mouse over the buttons in game the tooltip tells me:
Get up : STRG+D
Undock : UMSCHALT + D
From within the game settings I also see words in German "Toggle flight assist: STRG+LEER".
Please fix this mix of languages. Just because windows is configured to use a German layout keyboard doesn't mean that I want to see German when I play the game.

You should add an overview of key bindings easy to open of a second, as long as a key is down. Would be easier to check.
I had to search for the inputmap.xml and extract the keyboard values, save them into a csv and open them in excel to have a decent overview in one single screen of the keybindings.
From within the game, the keys are shown in 3 settings: General, Platform movement, Menu Navigation and I have to scroll down to find the keys.
To reach that menu I have to press ESC, click twice on each menu entry and scroll wheel: 8 actions from 3 different input keys!

The key names come directly from Windows, so if you are running the game in English and your Windows in German, then this will happen. There is nothing we can do about it because Windows doesn't supply the names in other languages.

How do I switch the game to German then?
