Need to be able to alter mouse binds so people can add Roll to mouse.
Like, if you fly in an aircraft the Roll and Pitch are on the flight stick, while Yaw is on the pedals. While in Squadrons its backwards. The A/D keys should act as Pedals.
Please make it so we can at least alter this as an option.

Im refusing to play anymore until we see a response from the devs saying whether or not they will fix it before I go and argue a refund.
I've played past my 2 hours on Steam using a x360 style controller, but I would rather mouse and keyboard. I've played a bunch of Elite Dangerous and other titles the same way, that method is just burned into my brain lol. I know I'm not alone on this ether, I know of folks who already passed on the game, or refunded it because of this.
Is this genuinely not rebindable under custom controls? That sucks if so.
Yeah, its not rebindable, you get an error message if you even try to delete the mouse roll bind. Really unfortunate. I hope they make it so you can change it.
That’s rough, upvoted for visibility.
They intentionally made it so you couldn't rebind it to a more typical flight scheme
Did they make a statement about that? Or is this something you're inferring?
If you attempt to remap the left and right mouse movement commands it gives you an error

i simply can't play the game because ive used a/d yaw forever. my friends are having a blast and im sitting here just wishing for them to allow me to bind my m+kb controls
Upvoting this as well. Its really upsetting that you can't rebind the controls on a 2020 game.
I hate when flight controls are centered around following the mouse cursor. It feels so unnecessary and old school. Just give me typical flight controls on asdw and mouse. Then I can destroy everyone!
u/EA_Charlemagne Can you please help us bring attention to this. Why did the devs chose to lock the mouse options in the controls menu? Just let us roll with the mouse and yaw with A/D
I'm fucking dying. In game and inside. I can tell I'm going to love this game but the fact that I AM NOT ABLE TO REMAP IT is infuriating. And unplayable. I can't shake the muscle memory.
I'm right there with you.

Elite Dangerous launched with amazing track-ir support and the ability to remap every single control. Why in this day and age do we still have games with these restrictions? :(
I agree that the option should be there, but why would you want roll on mouse left / right? Your aim can only reliably track vertically in that setup. This game doesn't have banked turns like if you were flying in atmosphere so it still wouldn't feel right.
It's something I was introduced to in Elite Dangerous and it stuck with me so hard I couldn't imagine playing a flight game with mouse and keyboard any other way (my brain's just hard wired itself!) - it's exactly the same for aircraft controls with HOTAS ... the x-axis would never apply rudder ... I'd use A and D rudder left/right to fine tune the aim whilst flying. Works a treat in E:D but it's just my personal preference which is why I'd like to have the option to rebind.
I'm a pilot and attempting to use the mouse is next to useless for me. They really need to fix pitch and roll for the mouse.
Can anyone confirm a joystick and rudder pedals work ok?
WOW it's not just me hating this...
is there a fix????
when I use my xbox controller i was able to map it correctly.. but keyboard and mous ei can't... very weird.
I just bought the game and am extremely disappointed by this too, I am having a hard time flying with it like this, I'm used to Elite Dangerous and Ace combat, where you can make it not be "point and shoot" It's really hard for me to retrain all that muscle memory
Any fix for this? Got this game never expecting to be ripped off this badly by what is clearly a gimped system that clearly exists simply to punish mouse users arbitrary.
There should be a warning about this before buying.

Finally bought a copy of the game and jumped in. This immediately killed it for me. I'm so hard-wired to roll with my mouse that I spent the entire tutorial just trying to maintain my bearings. No good reason not to allow rebinding and I really hope they address it.
I agree which is why I have been upvoting posts like this all day
Thanks. I hope I reallllly hope they change this. It simply makes Mouse input way more clunky than it ought to be.
