[BUG] [Vanilla] Mouse Flight mode broken

Post by Keridos »

It seems for me my mouse control mode for steering the ship is broken. Left Mouse click does not seem to to anything. space bar does not do anything, too.
I tried reading up on older threads but none of the tips I found helped me. It started when I was flying around in my nemesis and switching ships does not fix it. Neither does reloading the game or restarting my computer (thought it might be some other app interfering).

I have some mods installed See here: https://imgur.com/a/89Lvbyh

Any idea why that might still be broken?

/edit: Read below: also happens in Vanilla. Including reproduction methods.

I can confirm that this is also happening in vanilla x3fl 1.0. If I reload to another save before, it works again. Q and E roll and space won't work. Shift + n back and forth and shift + space won't bring back mouse steering. I am unsure what triggers this. Could be a handling issue. Will upload a save once I am back from work.

Thanks BaZERGer for letting us know :) It is as Cynari Ilinory said in the Steam Forums https://steamcommunity.com/app/483330/d ... 4133368315 --> You can lose control if you use "buy wares" command on ship with a TL as homebase. I have prepped a save where you can try it out. All you need to do is go to look for the "01 Sturgeon", landed on your ship and select "buy wares". When you see the panel (empty) opening. You will not be able to use mouse steering anymore after closing this panel.

My issue fixed itself, when when I built a station for a build station mission (I started the thread on steam forum)

I've now run into this same issue myself, where I cannot toggle Mouse Flight. Classic Flight mode does seem to work for now and I've swapped the controls around so I'll just have to compensate in this way for the time being.
I tried constructing a station (not for a Build mission however) as mentioned in the previous post, but that has not fixed it for me so I just reverted to an older save.

As for causes I may have used Freight Drones to Buy Ware command energy cells for jump fuel.

Have run into the same issue after deploying a recon drone. :o
Just Vanilla, no mods at all at V1.1

Before I got a few problems steering in Mouseflight on just my Teladi Shrike, that it resets Mouse Flight every few seconds, all other ships worked well, but now all my ships can't be toggled into Mouse Flight anymore... :shock:

Any help or fixes would really be appreciated - for the time being I'm stuck on using the classic flight mode :(
