Invert function of throttle full/off and fine adjust, move launch button?


Recommended Posts

I'm playing on PS4 with the default radial preset, I haven't tried the others yet as playing on console will be a different experience and I have to get used to the controls.

But I'm seeing an issue where I keep setting trim for the different controls, probably because I usually both control the rocket and fine adjust throttle. This means that I have to hold "L1" to adjust throttle, but this also seems to set my trim.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have up/down be fine adjust as default, and then having to click L1 + Up/down for full/cut throttle? You usually don't push full throttle while flying hands-on. 

Next; I keep pushing the damn stage button at the wrong time... "X" is used pretty much like left mouse button on PC, but it also controls staging which is giving me a lot of headaches. 

How about setting this to the "Touch Pad Button" at least on PS4? I think that makes much more sense, as staging is not something you want to do accidentally.

The Way to reduce the accidental trimming is to Play with the Cursor preset, full/fine throttle is Reverse in thus preset.

Please dont put anything on the Touchpad it's the worst thing ever. I discontected the Cable from the Touchpad because i always Touch it somehow and you cant disable the Dam thing

Trim is useful, just not controlled the way it currently is, adjusting trim should be a gradual process, not the sudden 'all or nothing' we currently have, it should also not be set using the same controls as anything else you will be using in flight.

Cursor pre-set has the throttle correct though, who ever thought making liquid fuel engines 0% or 100% as a default was useful has never tried landing, docking or followed the tutorials about throttling down at low altitude to reduce drag
