    I heard a games podcast, where one of the hosts played the game with kbm. He really struggled, especially in DB, because the thrust has no step-ups. By that time it was an annoying flaw with the game and there was only a mod to fix that, which was, by itself, broken.

    Played the game on a PS4 a while ago and loved everything about it.

      No way worked for me. First I tried kbm. Then I bought an Xbox pad specifically for this game. It got better but was still too annoying.

        I am sorry to hear that, because for me, the game was a really special experience.

        Yes, the ship controls needed a bit getting used to it, but when you get the hang of it, it’s really easy to navigate. And I loved it, that they tried to immitate real sky mechanics and didn’t make the ship behave like a boat or racing car.

        But as far as I heard, you are not alone with the struggle.

      DB is just painful all around until you figure out a method that works for you, which is the intention I’m pretty sure. The way I solved it, I never used anything but full thrust or no thrust anyways.
