  The controls in X4 are so horrible though.

    Good lord if that ain’t the truth.

    It has every opportunity to be good, but I can’t even navigate the goddamn menus, let alone step into my ship.

    Forget about using something other than a mouse and keyboard too, it just won’t work.

      Yeah, I never even bought it after reading the reviews about how janky it is, I want to use a HOTAS and rudder pedals and it doesn’t sound possible in X4

        I play it with hotas and it works fine. You’ll absolutely still want to keep a keyboard and mouse handy though because the RTS/management half of the game is really not that well controlled with a flight stick.

    Like any of these games, you need to change the key bindings.

    I have a set that I use in all space sim. What I am trying to say is that the control can be the same as any other space sim.

    This type of game might not be your kind of stuff.

      No X is absolutely my type of game. Don’t blame me for the horrible controls and menus, I didn’t create that hot mess. It’s also a well complained about part of the game.

      I couldn’t find a way to bind a double press in X4, so hold RB and tap X for example. These combinations are essential because there is no other way to use a controller to perform all of the necessary controls. It’s a shame because I would have invested a lot into the game if that was surmountable.

        Steam might be able to bind that. But then you’re probably going to need a diagram next to you while you play so you remember all the controls.

    I play with an HOTAS, so controls are the same as in Star Citizen for me

    What part do you feel is horrible? I enjoyed playing it a lot.
