Flight Controls Autoalign
Are you flying your ship with mouse and keyboard?
Does it feel horrible, non-responsive & sluggish?
Are you surprised there’s no mouse autocentering?
This little SFSE plugin aims to fix exactly that!
Features:
✦ Autoalignment. As you fly around without moving your mouse – your ship’s heading reticle will correct itself to center
✦ Keypress support if you don’t like to wait! Default key: B
✦ Configurable in SFSE\Plugins\FlightControlsAutoalign.ini
● WaitBeforeRealign: time after you stop moving your mouse
● RealignSpeed: rate at which your ship will autocenter
● RealignKey: virtual keycode to realign ship immediately
✦ Alternative, experimental mouse controls (+optional file)
Details:
First and most important, please treat this mod as early beta & heavy WIP.
I’ve only started messing with SFSE and C++, so you could easily guess that I’m as far from making good mods as humanly possible. Learning curve is steep and knowledge how to make these things tick is obscure and scary. So if the mod doesn’t work, or produces weird behavior – well, that’s just part of me learning how to make it work properly and dodge all the weird. Just be understanding and a bit patient if something goes terribly wrong.
And word on ALT controls. In theory – it should feel like Elite Dangerous, where your mouse directly affects ship’s rotation: you move it – ship rotates, and when you stop moving it – ship stops rotating as well, except inertia ofc. Let’s call it “testing the water” for the time being. You tell me how it feels.
Source code. I mean, if I knew how to github – I would. Otherwise, if you need it (even if just to make fun of me), then poke me in the comments.
You will need:
Starfield Script Extender (SFSE): version 0.1.2, without it this mod is useless
Installation:
Install all required mods first, then this one. Otherwise the mod will not work. Install as usual, via mod manager or manually by copying files into data folder.
Uninstallation: repeat the same with mod manager or manually, but in reverse.
