Yeah, and it’s sad bro. I put about 900 hours into Elite: Dangerous, which I enjoyed a great deal, but it still left me longing for something with more depth. Back then I thought Star Citizen would be the next leap forward in my career as a space trucker who dabbles in bounty hunting and deep space exploration. I wanted to have games worthy of justifying a home cockpit setup, and now it seems like a lost cause.
I really hope someone picks up the torch. Even if it’s just Frontier making a generational leap with the Elite IP.
you can try X4: Foundations ^^
The controls in X4 are so horrible though.
Like any of these games, you need to change the key bindings.
I have a set that I use in all space sim. What I am trying to say is that the control can be the same as any other space sim.
This type of game might not be your kind of stuff.
No, X is absolutely my type of game. Don't blame me for the horrible controls and menus, I didn't create that hot mess. It's also a well complained about part of the game.
I couldn't find a way to bind a double press in X4, so hold RB and tap X for example. These combinations are essential because there is no other way to use a controller to perform all of the necessary controls. It's a shame because I would have invested a lot into the game if that was surmountable.
Steam might be able to bind that. But then you're probably going to need a diagram next to you while you play so you remember all your controls.
I tried binding in Steam but the controller settings in Steam are kind of terrible too. Half the time I don't know what a setting does, and I feel like I need to do a training course to understand it. So I gave up and went back to Elite.
I don't blame you. Over the years I've seen some really impressive controller setting though. You can do a lot things with the steam settings. But yeah, you need to want to really invest in learning how to do it, and then actually remembering what you've set.
