Squadron 42 - Star Citizen : Wing Commander Style Space Sim

murah · 4 Jun 2014 at 17:59

300i looks beautiful cant access the hornet myself, and I can't fly my 325A either

took this warning it's quite large

Controls still taking a while to get used to, I can fly in free flight pretty well but when it comes to swarm I feel like im rotating in circles the whole time lol
using keyboard + mouse, need me a HOTAS setup!
and after playing with Nvidia inspector I still unfortunately cannot get SLI to work properly (It artifacts) however I am able to maintain 60fps at all times with 2 cards active so thats a bonus

anyone using an x55 to play this?

After choosing the x55 profile i'm just in a flat spin and none of the stick controls work.

Stick works peachy in ED.

Edit. Got a reply in the SC forums

In the patch notes it said that they knew there was a problem with the x-55 and they are working to fix it, sorry =(

Only played it for a few minutes before I hit an invisible boundary and it crashed to desktop, looks fairly pretty. I'm flying a Hornet and it felt very cramped in the cockpit, particularly with all the extra HUD stuff. I'm mostly waiting for my Rift DK2 to turn up before committing much time to this or ED.

Seems that the game is superior to play with mouse and keyboard rather than HOTAS, as you just aim and shoot, don't need to be facing dead on. More arcadey I guess - need to wait till I get my hands on it though.

DL won't be done till tomorrow prob

Fellow x55 here no spin but does not see my throttle controller i guess it depends which controller it sees

The mouse should be dumbed down it's to easy but this is early alpha, so it's probably what Devs have been using.

I hope they reduce the size of the side hud panels and move them closer to the edge of the screen, as they are too big at the moment.

Wow how did I miss the release of this...I've just let it tick along, not kept track and now see a bunch of stunning screening. Off to login and hit those thrusters.

Downloaded it, and it filled my hard drive before it finished, so now I'm downloading it again to a different drive. 'Repair' doesn't seem to do anything...
Looks like it will be tomorrow before I get in the Hornet.From looking at the forums I hope they bring out a patch to be able to change key bindings asap.
I want to fly with a stick not a mouse.

There you go

tried it and it works

We've uploaded the xml files necessary for activating the HOTAS controls here:

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/media/kethqwqvlimdhr/source/Layout_hotas_x55.xml
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/media/vzyutugrxmjavr/source/Layout_hotas_warthog.xml

1 Click the correct link above for your HOTAS joystick
2 Right click the page and Save As - noting where you've saved the file e.g. C:\Hotas
3 Now, once you're in game, open the console with the [ ` ] key and type: pp_rebindkeys C:\Hotas\layout_hotas_x55 (or pp_rebindkeys C:\Hotas\layout_hotas_warthog)

Of all the days to be working late, why must it be today?

I look upon you all with jealously, hate and envy in equal measure!
