Just downloaded the three games that made up my childhood (D1, D2 and D3) and i'm having an issue with the keyboard in descent 3.

I cant use any more than 2 - 3 buttons at any given time (i.e. i can move forward and pitch up but can't fire, I can slide right and use the afterburner but can't bank left). Anybody else seem to be having that issue?

This is probably an issue with ghosting/key rollover. A better keyboard would probably help :)

You should be able to use your mouse fully for firing and steering. I'm only having to use the keyboard for weapon select, afterburners, sliding etc. I don't think I've needed to press even more than just one key at a time yet!
