My mouse just died, and i decided to play with keyboard.

I think there is an error with pitch up/down.

When in normal view, I hit the bpitch up key(up arrow at the moment), ship turns down, with pitch down ->ship up.
In F3 pitch up moves up(north), pitch down moves down, so that is where it works correct.

A) Keyboard flying is fail
B) Games like this typically have "Invert Axis" options, check to see if that's anywhere.

It's a feature, not a bug. Pressing "down" is like pulling back on a joystick, which makes you pitch up, and vice-versa. The option to reverse it is somewhere in the game settings, but then it will not work correctly in F3. :P

I've found keyboard piloting to be great for large capital ships to avoid over-steering. :lol:

To everyone who plays games with non-inverted mouse/joystick/whatever:

Put your hand on the back of your head. Push forward. Now which way are you looking?

"Forward equaling up" is retarded.

Usually though, "skill" is used to covertly mean "match the game exactly to my level of competence." Anyone who is at all worse than me should fail utterly (and humorously!) and anyone better is clearly too caught up in the game and their opinions shouldn't count.

For me it's like a bug, but it doesn't really matter right now, because my mouse comes back.
It is labeled "pitch up", not pitch forward aka backward down.

Put your hand on the back of the head, then push RIGHT. Which way are you looking? :P
