A roll+pitch+yaw (while moving forward, hold roll button, jam stick all the way back and to the left for about a half-second) also provided a snappy and crowd-pleasing way for changing your flight path 90 degrees.Advowson: Would it be fair to say that you do not have now, and plan not to add, any support for playing over the Internet for users who cannot or will not use GOG Galaxy? I have had sufficient problems with GOG Galaxy that, from my perspective, a game which requires GOG Galaxy for multiplayer may as well not have multiplayer at all. Rolling was good in giving you small alignment changes for when you were trying to fit somewhere-like, lining you up to drop down through a hole by sliding down or up. Most people easily keep up with changes along the X and Z planes, but when you start moving +Y or -Y, it freaks a lot of people out. If you're head-to-head with someone, this lets you evade their fire by translating in two axes, so they have to yaw and pitch to keep you in their reticle. Rolling could come in handy in evading while still staying oriented at a target-rolling while sliding will cause your Pyro to perform a barrel-roll. I'm sure serious flight-sim jockeys would laugh at my pathetic joystick skills, but given my limited skill set, kbd+mouse is way better.ĭiff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks - if it works for you, that's the thing to use. I'm not flying a plane, so I don't need to roll.

I mean, why do I really need to roll anyway? I mostly need to aim and slide along the three axis, which I can do using WASD plus two more keys for up/down. It just seems so much easier to have joystick hat = slide, joystick = attitude, and keyboard roll and forward/reverse motion. How did your control layout look? How were you able to handle sliding in two directions simultaneously while maintaining forward or backward movement, or slide while rolling and moving foward/backward, or really anything involving a simultaneous change in attitude and vertical and horizontal position?Įdit - on reflection - I guess if you had mouse 1 be forward and mouse 2 be backward, and used the mouse for attitude, you could use WASD (or your preferred equivalent) for slide up/down/left/right and then fire primary with the spacebar, but how do you roll? Q and E, I guess, but then you get into some really fancy finger gymnastics when you need to rapidly slide and roll in different directions (evading a homing missile or smart missile seekers or whatever). If all you're doing is circle-strafing, I suppose that would work, but I don't see how it's possible to play effectively with a kb/mouse. Because I'd rather stick the Joystick right in my eye rather than try playing another Descent game with it. My advice is to train your brain to use kbd+mouse without inverting the Y axis.
