I first tried just playing via Mouse/Keyboard combo. The first few seconds of flight are OK. Ship seems responsive but then turns into just a slug. I am toggling travel mode on / off. Tried switching off the 'flight assist' . None of these things help. Once it goes slug mode, it is slug mode until docking and undocking again. Then its responsive for like how ever long. When I say slug mode I mean if i wanted to steer the ship left , I'd swipe the mouse all the way left and the ship would move " " diss much, pick up mouse, and do a nother full swipe left " " dis much ship move, etc etc.
I've adjusted mouse sensitivity etc, no love.
Then I tried my old Logitech Extreme3d Pro (yes OLD) joy stick. Had to program in the controls each individually. Got it all set up. It woooorked sort of. but everytime i went to a map or anything else the map would just start scrolling scrolling scrolling. As though the dead center of the joystick was WAY off (which I had calibrated using the windows 10 joystick calibration settings ) (which is sorta buried in the settings)
I tried adjusting the dead center of the joystick in the game settings , no help.
THEN then joystick just stopped being recognized by the game at all. Doesnt acknowledge it even exists.
Whats the best way to play this game? SHould I get one of those like Xbox controllers? A newer joystick? SHOULD I be able to play this with keyboard mouse (my preference) ????
What IS going on here. I've watched the X4 videos and I know the controls are being WAY more responsive for other people. It is making the game completely unplayable for me.
