MWO Control Scheme

[KEN]

Let me know what you guys think for standard controls, obviously these are changeable but I'd like to field you guys to see if this would be a good overall default setting. This is straight from our design document.

Looks good. 360 controller? Interesting...

[Allegedman]

to be honest, they are great but for a 360 controller, I never liked gas and brake being the trigger or bumper buttons.

curse my palsy.

3 and 9 on the keypad should be shifting...

3 is shift down 9 is shift up

and whats the control for the regular breaking on the keyboard is it supposed to be S?

[CannibisBob]

That looks like a good setup for the keyboard. With the controller I don't think it matters, people are just going to reset it the way that they like on whatever controller they use. I personally have a custom setup on my PS3 controller.

[KEN]

They are always reconfigurable :)

Regular breaking on the keyboard would be S or Down Arrow yes. After you are at a complete stop it automatically shifts to reverse for automatic transmissions, then automatically back into first gear after pressing W or Up key.

[cobra96]

I never play with the keyboard so no need to comment...

As far as the 360 controller it seems like a very good setup, although i would swith the shift up & down buttons...but i have that "left to right" mentallity...u go left numbers decrease...u got right they increase...

But it really doesnt matter since they r customizable

I've used a 360 controller for as many things as I can, since I first tried them. I've only tried using a wheel once (less than satisfactory experience). while I like using the 360, some people don't. I've always thought that the brake and throttle should be progressive, as opposed to ON-or-OFF type switches because in real life your throttle and brake are progressive.
I like the first effort Ken.

[Bill_Wood]

They look good to me but I'll be using my momo wheel.

[lynched1]

I gotta agree with using the wheel. Last time around I stuggled a bit keeping up with a controller. Once I went to a wheel I had to change out all of my old handling set ups though. lol

[roadweasel]

I'll be using the ol' momo too. Not a fan of console controller and racing games, personally.

[Ayce]

Still got the G25, so I'm good.
:)

[Pairuhnoyd]

Just an idea here, but how about the keypad shifting replicates what the actual shift pattern is for the car? ie. a three speed column shift is an "H" pattern with 7 being first gear, 1 being second gear, and 8 being third, with 2 being reverse?

[kennebell]

I always used A to shift up, and Z to downshift, space bar is E break and arrows keys for direction... always work best for me, def gonna check out that xbox controller if i dont get the wheel out : )

[Tomh]

I agree with the shift buttons being reversed on the 360 controller, right feels like it should be up to me. I will need to get a wheel when this game is ready to go though!

[Subtle]

Assuming I can give input...

I like:
(A) for E brake
(B) NOS
(X) Up Shift
(Y) Down Shift
(3) Look Behind
(4) Change Camera

I'll pony up for the wheel myself. My old wheel used a db15 connector so needless to say,I'll need to shop for one.

[ale8oneboy]

What your computer doesn't have a DB15 connector? Must be fancy! ;) jk I would love to have a G25 or G27

[1969amx]

I'll probably pick a wheel on E-bay. I think I have enough parts(I'll have to pick up a seat) to mod it into a sort of simulator ie real pedals,a Grant Gt rim(have to dig that out of storage). Have an old B&M ratchet around here somewhere.

[Guitardeth]

They look good to me but I'll be using my momo wheel.

Same here.

[ROACHCLASS]

I only played MCO using the keyboard ;)

[w00ter]

I used to play MCO with a Joystick.. because there was absolutely no way I could even win a race using keyboard... MCO had some pretty dodgy car handeling from what I remember

[mcomobboss]

So how is the progress going on mwo?

[KEN]

Boss, check the VIP thread for a quick update

[mcomobboss]

10-4 ty sir

[thorpedo66]

Hey guys, just wondering will there be support for multiple controllers at once? I'm getting a logitech dfgt but will be running my g25 pedals via usb adapter cable.

[SciPunk]

I remember playing MCO with just the keyboard, man some of the races kept me on the edge of my seat...lol Now i would prefer to NOT have to buy a 360 style controller for my PC. Any chance of other type support? I am using a Saitek cyborg atm and love it.

[Frohoff]

As far as the 360 controller it seems like a very good setup, although i would swith the shift up & down buttons...but i have that "left to right" mentallity...u go left numbers decrease...u got right they increase...

But it really doesnt matter since they r customizable

I agree with the shifting up and down...

[Mobius]

I used to play MCO with a Microsoft Sidewinder FFB Wheel. Man, that was fun. Now I have a Fanatec Porsche wheel just itching to play this game. Can't wait!
