Title: Keymapper Thrust Controls
Post by: Horizon on February 16, 2011, 10:51:25 am

I'm running the latest FSO build.

There are keymaps for thrust right, left, up and down.  No matter where I keymap these buttons, they do not seem to do anything. 

Is there something I'm missing?  I'd like that extra bit of maneuvering.

These keys only work on ships that have this kind of maneuvering available - for examples the Vipers in Beyond the Red Line/Diaspora or the Starfury in The Babylon Project. Because FreeSpace Open does not alter retail gameplay, you cannot use these features on retail FS2 ships unless you mod thrusters in.

Or in a mission where you fly a Shivan craft. :)

Assuming the Terran 'version' is not nerfed in some way. I know in FS1 on the Dragon, Reverse Thrust doesn't work as I recall.

Code: [Select]

$Max Velocity:          15.0, 15.0, 75.0
$Rotation time:         3.0, 3.0, 3.5
$Rear Velocity:         0.0
$Forward accel:         2.5
$Forward decel:         1.0
$Slide accel:           2.0
$Slide decel:           2.0

I assume Slide accel controls the relevant function. Not much of a tabler myself.
