' Wrote:Since were on the topic of controls, is it possbile to play freelancer with a joystick?

I'm guessing no but it's always good to clarify.

The only way to do it is to use Xpadder (I think). Google it, and download it, then map your joystick with that program, and designate what keys do.

What's your FL Keymap? - ProwlerPC - 12-02-2008

Aside from the standard, Ive added this little bit to it.
Ctrl+Num# to Assign Weapon Groups
Num# to Fire appropriate Weapon Group
I then profiled the Num#'s to my Mouse buttons (8 button mouse) so that I could fire any of my weapon groups without having to switch them.


What's your FL Keymap? - Heresy - 12-03-2008

All default, except a few notable changes.

W, A, S, D keys for strafes in their respective directions.
1,2,3,4 as Activate weapon groups 1-4. I dont need any more than this for weapon groups, as they start blank and can be set, reset and activated with a few clicks on the lower right hand weapon menu. Perfect for bombers.

I've also got to change Engine Kill from X, it gets annoying when I miss the key and press C, firing countermeasures for no reason.


What's your FL Keymap? - Rudo - 12-03-2008

~ - Free Flight
1-6 - Weapons Groups
Tab - Cruise
Space - Afterburner
WAXD - Strafe up, left, down, right
S - Reverse thrust

Everything else is default.


What's your FL Keymap? - Grimly - 12-03-2008

Working on a french keyboard (AZERTY)


1 to 3 = 2 to 4 weapon groups single shot
4 = CM
5 = Turret view

<tab> = thrust
a = strafe left
z = turn down
e = strafe right
r = launch mines
t = shield batteries

q = turn left
s = turn up
d = turn right
f = CD
g = nanobots

w = reverse engines
x = engine kill
c = not used O_O
v = look backwards + ctrl = change view
b = tractor beam
',' ';' ':' '!' = group 1 to 4 selection. + shift = group setting.

mouse 1 = select (damn we can't change it !)
mouse 2 = attack with selected weap group
mouse 3 (wheel push) = look backward
mouse 4 = cruise
mouse 5 = thrust

I think that's all I'm using...
Or maybe :
F9 : Start FRAPS movie (The button the rule breakers fear the most !)
F10 : Start FRAPS repeated shots (An other button my hunter's target fear the most)
