Star Citizen

Were you guys flying with joysticks, or with Mouse/Keyboard?

I tried initially with joystick, but it was very twitchy (still downloading the latest patch), and I struggled.

I was using my logitech extreme 3d pro . it was twitchy , but I think the biggest thing was that your controll is set to pitch / roll and not pitch / yaw like every other space sim out there before this one.

I used the move left or right to move in a straight line to adjust my aim , now you have to twist the handle to do that. but after clocking around 2 hours of flying Iā€™m almost used to it .

in the patch your downloading there will be an option to change that. I was thinking YEAH !! but now Iā€™m thinking that Iā€™ve just got used to it , I should leave it like it is .

try the joystick with the new patch and see how it goes . I know @Xavier is playing keyboard and mouse , and he is loving itā€¦

I myself love the joystick control , but itā€™s very sensitive in movement ā€¦ getting used to is required

Iā€™m old school Keyboard/Mouse.

Just wish you had a cross-hair in third person view in the ships

Bleh. There must be something wrong with me. I just cannot fly these damned things.
Also, targeting seems to be brokenā€¦ or rather I canā€™t target anything at all.

For me, this is a fail. Itā€™s not fun.

the secret for me was ā€¦ as soon as the little target thing in the middle of your view turns green , SHOOT :slight_smile:

because this game is using real physics to control the behavior of flight and all the rest , it is not that easy to fly

maybe to flee flight , shoot at some rocks that isnā€™t evading you so you can learn or understand the firing and flying ā€¦ donā€™t tell anyone but I did about 30 min of free flight before attempting the vanduul swarm ā€¦ and I still couldnā€™t get past wave 3 :frowning:

in a nutshell @teejo , donā€™t worry to much about the twitchyness of the controlls , remember pre-alpha :stuck_out_tongue:
the post above the devā€™s responded and is improving these controls a bit next patch

For a non-optimized game, it runs like a demon already on my hardware. Lowest was 60fps, highest in the 85ā€™s.

Flying in third person/chase camera is super fun, I keep getting ā€œcollision warningā€ by barreling through tight spaces in between the structures/debris/asteroids. Iā€™ve got my ship pretty well pegged when it comes to flying maneuvers. (until I play online, then Iā€™d be ranked around the worst)

Meh, my problem is I canā€™t even find the targets. :stuck_out_tongue:
I get the crap shot out of me, but Iā€™m stuffed if I can even see them.

on my joystick itā€™s the pov sticky thing that you press left to select closest target and right is scan through all targets good and bad , once you select him you will see the red rings going to the targetā€¦ or there is a red arrow pointing you in the way to turn to see the target

Itā€™s called the HAT switch, fwiw :stuck_out_tongue:

I was using the mouse and keyboard. R/T is supposed to select targets, but nothing happened.

I found this ā€¦ got the full keyboard layout of controls , but if I remember correctly r and t is the correct buttons

thanks for the HAT switch :wink:

Console peeps crying for it? I prefer PC as my platform lately, but I wouldnā€™t mind a console version to be honest.

love this line ā€œconsoles offer out-of-the-box simplicity and compatibility, while PCs are all about screaming performance, limited only by income and your determination to use it.ā€
ā€œStar Citizen would never be ā€œdumbed down for a lesser platform.ā€ But his anti-console stance seems to be working for him: The Star Citizen crowdfunding campaign now stands at more than $48 million.ā€
