Switch X axis for YAW and ROLL

Hello !

I'm not aware about a lot of things in VS ( perhaps it's already there ? ) , but one feature that i would like to see is a switch for yaw and roll control .

You know , i use a 2 axes joystick , and so i must use the keyboard for rolling .
My idea is to bind a key to a function that will switch the X axis to YAW and ROLL when you press and hold a button ( or key ).

And perhaps a second fonction to mix them ( you press a button ,push the stick to the right , your ship is rolling and yaw in that direction .You release the button , you are back to normal control ).

In combat phase or in approach for docking in a spaceStation , the gameplay could be enjoyable .
( i will try to code that myself if that don't exist , and so will open later a dedicated threat about JOYSTICKS ) .

I think there is such a key and I think it is bound by default to one of the joystick's buttons. Check out vegastrike.config and look for something that would sound like that.

Thank you !
I check that now .

Edit : Oh yeah !

Code: Select all

<!-- Options, for those who like them.  Paste in the relevant section to use.
    <bind joystick="0" button="1" modifier="none" command="Joystick::Mode::InertialXYToggle" />
    <bind joystick="0" button="1" modifier="none" command="Joystick::Mode::InertialXZToggle" />
    <bind joystick="0" button="1" modifier="none" command="Joystick::Mode::RollToggle" />
    <bind joystick="0" button="1" modifier="none" command="Joystick::Mode::BankToggle" />
I think that solved my problem ... let me test .
SOLVED !

But the mix of YAW and ROLL is not There.
I think that this function could be done , for a gameplay+ .
HEY ! WHAT ABOUT USE MORE THAN ONE JOYSTICK ?
I CAN IMAGINE 1 left stick for " roll and bank " a right stick for "yaw and pitch .
FOR A NEW KIND OF VESSELS ?
