Tried playing last night a bit.. Oh the nostalgia, but that's not why i am posting this.

At first i tried using a Joystick (Logitech Extreme 3D Pro) But i was finding that this thing's sensitivity was too low, and it took forever in a day to turn a ship. This sadly does not help a pilots cause when he's being gunned down by a guy who's turning faster than he.

So i unplugged the Joystick, and tried mouse. After tweaking it's sensitivity a bit, I was able to turn faster but the ship was so unstable that it was still pretty hard to control. (Or, i just straight up suck after 13 years of not playing this.. could be the case too)

Any Suggestions?

suck maybe it.

long story short

diff ships have different agility.

tuning up sensitivity wont actually make u turn faster

Were you flying rixian unity?

Just to make sure you've seen it, there is a sensitivity adjustment in the game, although ~100% tends to work fine in general. Also make sure the in-game Vsync setting is off - not related to sensitivity but it will improve precision.

To improve joystick input, you can also try capping your DirectX frame rate using the method below:

This is a bug in Allegiance that was introduced in the version R5.

If you want proof, try to use that joystick in a turret and you'll see that the fine precision is completely gone. The input is delayed so much, your ship is like a drunken sailor.

Enjoy!
