Im having trouble with controlling my fighter. When I try to change my bearing, there’s like this lag and slow motion that makes me feel really dizzy and I feel confused and lose all sense of direction and whereabouts.
I also cant tell the difference in expert and basic control mode in the options. The invert y axis option also makes no difference.
Can someone help me with what it might be and a few tips.
If you are just starting out use basic mode… actually only use basic mode. Expert mode handles horridly under lag since the camera response is affected by your ping.
As for managing lag if you find your ship is flying “drunk” and there are no enemies near you then hold left ctrl until you level out and try not to make many sharp movements until you notice your ping settle down (hit f11 once to see your ping and FPS).
I’m also Aussie too so I kinda had to learn these things the hard way but the game is playable once you learn to manage lag.
It might be best to try to fly frigates at first, then work your way down to more agile ships. With high ping, you really just need practice to fly normally. Once you get the hang of it though it’s not super bad.
Thanks guys. I’m getting a bit better at it, but it will take a long time to get used to. I probably wouldn’t be any good at it no matter how long I play, but I’m very impressed by the scope and details included in this . Its just the controls and the behaviour of the ships makes things really difficult and a bit frustrating. It feels like the ship is been led by a very long string from the nose.
Hope to play the game for a long time to come
